A Delusion

By Editor

A Delusion.—A magazine which comes to our table says, "Know that thou art the redeemer of thyself. Thou art the god thou fashionest." What a pitiful redeemer he has who trusts in himself! What a pitiful god he fashions at his best. He who trusts in his own heart is a fool. The maker is wiser and stronger than the thing he makes. Never was greater delusion placed before man than the teaching that he can save himself. All the ages declare it a falsehood. It is born of the old satanic falsehood: "Ye shall not surely die: . . . ye shall be as God."
