[K]nowledge and progress are the fruits of action. - John Tyndall

Superstition may be defined as constructive religion which has grown incongruous with intelligence.

I leave it to you to compare this Christian hero <nowiki>[</nowiki>Paul] with some of the 'freethinkers' of our own day, who, 'more intolerant than the intolerance they deprecate,' flaunt in public their cheap and trumpery theories of the great Apostle and the Master whom he served.

The logical feebleness of science is not sufficiently borne in mind. It keeps down the weed of superstition, not by logic but by slowly rendering the mental soil unfit for its cultivation.
