Show Belief In Jonahs. The belief in Jonahs is contrary to the order of the universe as man most elowly and painfully, by the use of all his spiritual faculties, has discovered that order. Whatever the explanation of extraordinary events may be, the superstitious explanation is not true. To entertain it for a moment is to enervate the mind and to misinterpret the universe. That may not be safely done even in trifles, for none of us, is far enough away from the dark fears of the savage to take risks. We need to be almost superstitious in our fear of superstition, as a reformed drunken drunk-en needs to avoid wine. |
