Let us see F 8i Digitized by VjOOQIC Avihordoxy how they did it. First of all, they contra- dicted themselves. The superficial reader of Mr. Chesterton will probably remark, " Surely it is his case that everything is a contradiction.'' To which I reply that his case is nothing like so reasonable as that. His case is that contradictions in Christianity are all parts of the great whole, paradoxes of infinite significance. But contra- dictions in Rationalism must be tested at their face value. It ...must never be admitted that they may not be contradictions at all. This is the first contradiction that Mr. Chesterton discovered in the case for Ration- alism. " One accusation against Christianity was that it prevented men, by morbid tears and terrors, from seeking joy and Uberty in the bosom of Nature. But another accusation was that it comforted men with a fictitious providence, and put them in a pink and white nursery. . . . One rationaUst had hardly done calling Christianity a nightmare before another began to call it a fool's paradise." There is a saying that provides a simple reconciliation of these alleged contradictions.
