FIFTH day's sitting. 133 



competent for dealing satisfactorily with the subject. Yet, 

 though such speculations are unsatisfactory, probably, it 

 will only be through speculation and experiment that the 

 truth will be reached at last. The human mind seeks after 

 unity in creation — tries to find some definite point from 

 which all has sprung. My own belief is that the unity and 

 starting-point of creation will be sought after in vain till 

 they are sought for in God. To my mind, there is more 

 light and wisdom in those grand old words of the Psalmist, 

 " With Thee is the fountain of life "— " Thou sendest forth 

 Thy Spirit, they are created : Thou renewest the face of the 

 earth " — than there is in all such speculations of philoso- 

 phers. I will deliver my judgment at our sitting to-morrow.
