300 SCIENCE AND IMMORTALITY 



science, is firmer, deeper, higher, more beautiful 

 than the faith of a child. We must become as 

 little children through fighting and adventuring 

 Jike men. 



\ Conceived aright, science must always lead to 

 belief in the unseen and to hope of immortality ; 

 but Science must learn to recognise her own limita- 

 tions — must learn to recognise that her logic is not 

 conclusive when her postulates are dubious — and 

 that she can only become a ruler of men's souls and 

 a brightener of men's lives if she takes Poetry and 

 Philosophy by the hand, and dwells with them in 

 the temple of Beauty and Reverence. ') 



" Let knowledge grow from more to more. 

 Yet more of reverence in us dwell, 

 That Mind and Soul according well 

 May make one music as before."
