28 ON THE RELATION OF NATURAL SCIENCE. 



To keep up these relations between all searchers after truth and 

 all branches of knowledge, to animate them all to vigorous co-

 should ever go hand in hand, and in this conviction will we 

 strive, so far as in us lies, to press onward to the fulfilment of 

 our great mission.
