Narrowness as a Tool for Cutting Error

“He [my father],” says Dr. Cadonan, “was narrow; so is a razor; it has to be to cut anything.” This complaint against narrowness is akin to the complaint of the tree against the ax: Said the tree to the ax, “What makes you everlastingly keep hitting in the same place?” “Ah,” replied the ax to the tree, “how else shall I get you down?” So in attacking the errors of these days, we should be narrow enough to cut something, and keep everlastingly hitting in the same place, till we get them down.
