The splendid generalizations of our physicists and our naturalists, have had for me an enthralling and entrancing interest. I find as I look out on the world, in the light of all this new knowledge, a pressure of God upon consciousness everywhere; and if this physical force which is God, moves through, sustains, communes, with each smallest physical atom of the whole, much more must that conscious energy which is God, move through, sustain, commune with, these conscious atoms, these several monads, which are you and I, and our friend, and our brother far away. The even flow of the divine force through every material atom, which is the supreme revelation of physical science in our time, itself leads irresistibly on to the suggestion of the constant flow of spiritual energy in actual communion with every spiritual monad that there is. It becomes but a question of opening the eyes of the soul, unstopping the ears of the inward spirit, to see and hear the God who in us also surely lives and moves and has His being, thereby sustaining ours. As the physical atom is physically touched and held and thrilled by God, it is what we should expect that the conscious monad, no less should be consciously touched and held and thrilled by Him.--Rev. R. A. Armstrong. "Euroclydon driveth us--where? On quicksands and shoals of the sea, On rocks that wait hungry to tear And devour with tigerish glee. "But lo! where we land tempest-tost Is the work that has waited our hand;-- Not one step of that life shall be lost Whose way an All-seeing hath planned." We never know through what divine mysteries of compensation the Great Father of the Universe may be carrying out His sublime plans.--Miss Murdoch. Enthusiasm is the genius of sincerity, and Truth accomplishes no victory without it.--Bulwer Lytton. Science is bound by the everlasting law of honour to face every problem fearlessly.--Lord Kelvin. For my part, I too much value the pursuit of truth and the discovery of any new fact in nature, to avoid inquiry because it appears to clash with prevailing opinions.--Wm. Crookes, F.R.S. The secret of success is constancy to purpose.--Lord Beaconsfield. The simple peasant who observes a fact And from a fact deduces principles, Adds social treasure to the public wealth. Facts are the basis of Philosophy. Philosophy is the harmony of facts Seen in their right relations.--Lyrics of a Golden Age. DEDICATED TO
