And let us hope that this poor earth on which we live, may be a perfect world—a world without a crime—without a tear.
SUPERSTITION.
I. WHAT IS SUPERSTITION?
To believe in spite of evidence or without evidence. To account for one mystery by another.
To believe that the world is governed by chance or caprice.
To disregard the true relation between cause and effect.
To put thought, intention and design back of nature.
To believe that mind created and controls matter. To believe in force apart from substance, or in substance apart from force.
