Ideally the chronically ill person would fast for an extended period under supervision until their symptoms were gone or greatly improved, with a fall-back plan to repeat the whole process again in three to six months if necessary.
Snatching the keys, I was down the steps at a leap. "The large one for the gate, Jack! The brass one for the big door, and the cell unbolts!" "Ease your helm, sonny!" says Jack, catching the bunch from my clasp. "Fall-back fall-edge!" he laughed in that awful mockery of the axeman's block. "Fall-back fall-edge! If there's any hacking of necks, mine is thicker than yours! I'll run the risks.
I think every one can find for themselves some sphere, national, racial, industrial, financial, in which social penitence could work; and the constant corporate fall-back into sin, which we now disguise as human nature, or sometimes even more insincerely as economic and political necessity, might be faced and called by its true name.
Instead, we have, acted on the crowd level, swayed by unsublimated instincts of acquisition, disguised lust, self-preservation, self-assertion, and ignoble fear: and such a fall-back is the very essence of social sin. We have made many plans and elevations; but we have not really tried to build Jerusalem either in our own hearts or in "England's pleasant land."
"Fall-back fall-edge!" roared Jack, closing his arms about me. "'Tis Ramsay himself, with a sword like a butcher's cleaver and a wit like a broadaxe!" "Have you not heard, Jack?" "Heard! Ship ahoy!" cried Jack. "Split me to the chin like a cod! Stood I not abaft of you all day long, packed like a herring in a pickle! 'Twas a pretty kettle of fish in your Noah's ark to-day!
We saw no more of Sam until after the battle, when he sneaked into camp, with a fantastic story of getting separated from the regiment in a fall-back movement, that he then joined another, fought both days, and performed prodigies of valor. But there were too many that saw the manner of his alleged "separation" for his story ever to be believed. I will now return to the Bolivar incident.
Does not this view of sin, as primarily a fall-back to past levels of conduct and experience, a defeat of the spirit of the future in its conflict with the undying past, give us a fresh standpoint from which to look at the idea of Salvation?
