based on inductive evidence, just as Conviction is 

 in the scientific world. 



This line of argument running through the book 

 was embodied in a lecture delivered before the 

 University College Christian Association on ist 

 May, 1903. 



Lord Kelvin, who kindly proposed a vote of 

 thanks, expressed himself as thoroughly in accord 

 with it, and strongly corroborated my contention 

 that modern Natural Theology or Theism is based 

 on strictly scientific methods of reasoning. His 

 observations will be found following my address 

 (the first of six) in the volume entitled Christian 

 Apologetics (J. Murray, 2s. 6d,).
