The ultimate end of science, as well 

 as its initial impulse, is the regulation 

 of human conduct. To make right ac- 

 tion possible and prevalent is the func- 

 tion of science. — David Starr Jordan 

 in'The Stability of Truth."

When Joaquin Miller, the picturesque "poet of the Sierras," died lie 

 left os his last utterance of faith to the ivorld this poem of faith. : 



Could I but teach man to believe, 

 Could I but make small men to grow, 

 To break frail spider webs that weave 

 About their thews and bind them low. 

 C ould I but sing one song and lay 

 Grim Doubt; I then could go my way 

 In tranquil silence, glad, serene, 

 And satisfied, from off the scene. 

 Rut, ah this disbelief, this Doubt, 

 This doubt of Cod, this doubt of good. 

 The damned spot will not out 



Wouldst learn to know one little flower, 

 Its perfume, perfect form and hue? 

 Yea, wouldst thou have one j erfect hour 

 Of all the years that come to you? 

 Then grow as God hath planted, grow 

 A lordly oak or daisy low, 

 As he hath set his garden; be 

 Just what thou art, or grass or tree, 

 Thy treasures up in heaven laid 

 Await thy sure ascending soul, 

 Life after life — be not afraid!
