SCIENCE AND THE BOOK 291 
are made, all in us that is noblest and highest, in the 
image of our Maker. 
A word in closing. The time is ripe for a broader 
conception of theology and of science on the part of 
those who are not trained to be specialists in either. 
We are becoming more and more inherently religious. 
We are becoming more and more enamored of the 
truth in all its forms. The times are ripe for us to 
cease the struggle and to strive for peace. So long 
as men insist that the important things in faith are 
the things on which men differ there will be eternal 
strife. So soon as men endeavor to find the common 
ground between them and each tries to state his be- 
lief in forms acceptable to himself but involving no 
hostility to his neighbor, we shall be working for 
peace. 
Some of our finest men of to-day are being trained 
in modern science and in modern theology. There 
is no scorn in their minds for early science or for 
early theology. Each served its age, and each 
taught its truth. But its truth must be restated in 
terms of to-day. The old creeds will always be loved. 
The old creeds will always hold our reverence and 
allegiance. But each age must be at liberty to in-) 
terpret these creeds in the terms in which that age 
best understands truth. Each age must be at lib- ~ 
erty “to restate the doctrines of the past in accordance
