FREEDOM OF THE AIR
Sir,-As one often away from home, who reads his Listener at a much later date than most, can I be pardoned a late remark on Mr. Hulbert’s lettter. One cannot but admire the big-hearted way (continued on next page)
(continued from previous page) in which he takes it upon himself and his association to be the sole representatives of reason, like a wrestler who takes in Turkey or India on the billboards. With the name of rationalist pointed at us like a pistol, we others are forced down to the other end of the paddock, an inferior breed who eschew reason for theological dogma and superstition, Well, so much for’ his opinion of us; I would like to say something about his association. The most fitting title I can think of for them jis the apostles of unreason. ~Reason is the faculty that states that for every effect there must be adequate cause. The Christian gives an adequate cause for this wonderful world of ours — God. These rationalists have no reason for the world. It just happened. Somehow, somewhere, sometime,.non-life gave birth to life. Reason, as I know it, cannot be satisfied with such an explanation.
CHRISTIAN
(Okato).
