earth Nat, that sin came from the trst man. ana tat
he would not have sinned had it not been for the first
woman. They taught all the absurd fables OF ancient
ignorance and all the shtfu terrors OF ancient super
sttiOn.
They created supernatural worlds, and though know
ing little about this one they told all about two other
worlds of yet stranger properties.
And yet the ghosts OF this world have some excuses
for being This world is not very well adapted TO max
ing good human creatures. The genrses only occupy
narrow between the tOriid and the frgld Again. he
