FAITH IS STRONGER THAN REASONNow faith is being sure of what we hope for and certain of what we do not see. Hebrews 11:1
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 come to a deep river, Reason says, I can never ford this, but Faith wades through it singing. When they reach 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!
