[The Religions of Japan by William Elliot Griffis]@TWC D-Link bookThe Religions of Japan PREFACE 11/11
As Principal Fairbairn, my honored predecessor in the Morse lectureship, says: "What we call superstition of the savage is not superstition _in him_.
Superstition is the perpetuation of a low form of belief along with a higher knowledge.... Between fetichism and Christian faith there is a great distance, but a great affinity--the recognition of a supra-sensible life." "For the earnest expectation of the creation waiteth for the revealing of the sons of God....
The creation itself shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God." W.E.G. ITHACA, N.Y., October 27, 1894. TABLE OF CONTENTS.
