512 THE CHEMISTRY OF CREATION. 



Yet how shallow and imperfect are our 

 highest discoveries ! Here, alas ! with regard 

 to created things we are ever learning, but 

 never able to come to the full knowledge of the 

 truth. We see a little way into the mysteries 

 of creation, and there our progress ends. The 

 most advanced philosophy cannot carry us 

 beyond the threshold of knowledge. For the 

 rest we have to wait. It is the siibject of 

 many " great and precious promises," which 

 assure us that better things are in store for us ; 

 that the time will come when all who now 

 humbly trust in a Divine Redeemer, and are 

 guided by Him in the paths of righteousness, 

 shall attain to the complete renewal of their 

 moral and intellectual powers, and so be fitted 

 to walk in the light of His presence, " in whom 

 are hid all the treasures of wisdom and know- 

 ledge." 



THE END.
