Greatest Of Evils PDF Download

Excerpt from The Four Great Evils of the Day And now, before I enter upon this subject, I wish to say a word of a superstition which, strange to say, pervades those who are willing to believe but little else. For in its incredulity the human mind is liable to fall into the greatest of all credu lities; and one credulous superstition of these days is this: That faith and reason are at variance; that the human reason, by submitting itself to faith becomes dwarfed; that faith interferes with the rights of reason; that it is a violation of its pre rogatives, and a diminution of its perfection. Now I call this a pure superstition; and those who pride themselves upon being men of illumin ation and of high intellect, or, as we have heard lately, in the language Of modern Gnosticism, 'men of culture, ' are, after all, both credulous and superstitious.
