Now the crafty atheist has a way of laying down
fallacies which often terrifies one into involuntarily believing that
those fallacies are facts, until one stops to think that the atheist is
but a man, after all, and that there is an appeal from his findings. It
is, therefore, in the defense of humanity that I advance against him,
HOPING TO HIT HIM BECAUSE HE IS SO BIG,
and to escape his blows because I am so small. "What though the day be
lost, all is not lost!" Though man have glaring faults, he is still a
problem far beyond the fiat of any atheist. He still has a destiny. The
atheist lays down dogma after dogma. In this changing world, where even
the little balance-wheel of a watch must be "compensated," it is clearly
as impossible for any atheist to lay down an undeviating dogma as it was
for the Cretan to truly say that all Cretans were liars! "Broadly, an
unselfish deed is impossible. There never was a human thought that
reached beyond the human body." Let us capture those two atheistic
dogmas and take off their displayed headings.
AWAY BACK ON THE PLAINS OF CHALDAEA,
in the youth of the world, there lived men who watched their flocks by
day and the hosts of heaven by night.
