Show Differing Views on Providence. A recent traveler in Macedonia writes: "The views on Providence entertained by Turks and Jews respectively re-spectively and the extent to which belief be-lief influences the conduct of each are well illustrated by the following anecdote: A Turk and a Jew were one day in a boat. Suddenly the weather changed and a fierce squall arose. The Jew proposed uiat they should turn back at once. The Turk was for going on. 'Fear not, my friend; Allah is great,' he said, 'Allah is great,' retorted the Jew, 'but our boat is small.' " |
