OF SAINTHOOD 



the glad tidings of a conquest beside 

 which all others sink into insignificance 

 is the final conquest of Nature, out of 

 which has come man's redemption of 



man. 



" If in the memorable phrase of the 

 Greek philosopher, Prodicus, 'That 

 which benefits human life is God/ we 

 may see in this new gospel a link be- 

 twixt us and the crowning race of those 

 who eye to eye shall look on knowledge, 

 and in whose hand Nature shall be an 

 open book, an approach to the glorious 

 day of which Shelley sings so gloriously: 



'Happiness 



And Science dawn though late upon the earth; 

 Peace cheers the mind, health renovates the 



frame; 



Disease and pleasure cease to mingle here, 

 Reason and passion cease to combat there, 

 Whilst mind unfettered o'er the earth extends 

 Its all-subduing energies, and wields 

 The sceptre of a vast dominion there.' "
