 might foresee that " many shall run to and fro and knowledge shall 

 be increased." Year after year advances would be made in science ; 

 and in reading that Book of Nature which was ever open before their 

 eyes, successive stones would be brought for building up that Temple 

 of Knowledge of which their fathers and they had laboured to lay 

 the foundations.
