a lie. And if they know the strength of science, and 

 rely upon it with unswerving trust, they also know the 

 limits beyond which science ceases to be strong. They 

 best know that questions offer themselves to thought 

 which science, as now prosecuted, has not even the ten- 

 dency to solve. They keep such questions open, and 

 will not tolerate any unlawful limitation of the horizon 

 of their souls. They have as little fellowship with the 

 atheist who says there is no God as with the theist who 

 professes to know the mind of God. 



"Two things," said Immanuel Kant, "fill me with 

 awe : the starry heavens and the sense of moral respon- 

 sibility in man." And in his hours of health and 

 strength and sanity, when the stroke of action has 

 ceased and the pause of reflection has set in, the scien- 

 tific investigator finds himself overshadowed by the 

 same awe. Breaking contact with the hampering de- 

 tails of earth, it associates him with a power which gives 

 fulness and tone to his existence, but which he can 

 neither analyze nor comprehend.
