As Though It Were Truth<\/b><\/p>\n
There is a tale told of that great English actor Macready. An eminent preacher once said to him: \u201cI wish you would explain to me something.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cWell, what is it? I don\u2019t know that I can explain anything to a preacher.\u201d <\/p>\n
\u201cWhat is the reason for the difference between you and me? You are appearing before crowds night after night with fiction, and the crowds come wherever you go. I am preaching the essential and unchangeable truth, and I am not getting any crowd at all.\u201d <\/p>\n
Macready\u2019s answer was this: \u201cThis is quite simple. I can tell you the difference between us. I present my fiction as though it were truth; you present your truth as though it were fiction.\u201d <\/p>\n
