APPENDIX 425 



Science and religion always have asked, and doubtless always will ask, 

 the same fundamental questions. What creates, what preserves, and what 

 destroys the products of nature, and how may man profit thereby? The 

 answers, whatever they may be, must ultimately be expressed by them in 

 essentially equivalent terms, their verification sought in constructive action. 



The large element of unpredictable returns resident in all phases of 

 nature-action demands trial ; creative turns justify the experiment. 



These unsuspected potentialities are revealed in the triumphs of nature's 

 creative art and thus reveal a measurable independence of established laws 

 and precedents. Therein is the source of man's undying hope and faith, his 

 abiding impulse to endeavor.
