Faith is Stronger than Reason
An old writer said that Faith and Reason may be compared to
two travelers. Faith is like a man in full health, who can walk
his twenty or thirty miles at a time without suffering. Reason is
like a little child, who can only, with difficulty, accomplish
three or four miles.
"Well," says the old writer, "on a given day
Reason says to Faith, 'O good Faith, let me walk with you'.
Faith replies, 'O Reason, you could never walk with me!'
However, to try their paces, they set out together, but they soon
find it hard to stay together. When they came to a deep river,
Reason says,
'I can never ford this, but Faith wades through it singing.
When they reached a lofty mountain, there is the same exclamation
of despair; and in such cases, Faith, in order not to leave
Reason behind, is obliged to carry him on his back.
Oh, what luggage is Reason to Faith."
