But it is not possible that the Gospels can be either more or fewer in number than they are. For since there are four zones of the world in which we live, and four principal winds, while the church has been scattered throughout the world, and since the “pillar and ground” of the church is the Gospel and the spirit of life, it is fitting that she should have four pillars, breathing incorruption on every side, and vivifying human afresh.
這世界的基礎通常是四的組合，所以福音書也要有四本才正路、才比較得體。可不是嗎？four zones of the world是四，four principal winds也是四，四大皆空也都是四。《創世記》中的伊甸園有四條河，一年有四個季節，啤牌有四種花，打麻將要四隻腳，四大天王四位都一表人才，披頭四四 位成員都懂音樂，神奇四俠四個都有超能力，等等，等等，族繁不及備載。
但這個曾在西方傳統中很吃很開的數字「四」，竟然在此時此刻的香港如此備受冷落。
據說，回歸後特區的其中一個口號是Asia’s world city，要為香港打做一個「亞洲國際都會」的品牌。不過，似乎我們在跟西方文化的接軌上，還要再多下點功夫。
