490 Culture and Science. 
Her votaries are not forbidden to doubt what is uttered in her tem- 
ple; doubt as encouraged as a prelude to faith. 
Science is most catholic in her regards, and none are denied 
entrance to her temple who submit to her laws. Conditions are 
imposed, it is true; but all those who give obedience to the few 
conditions are admissible. One of the conditions is that common 
sense intensified shall be applied to all questions. If it is the his- 
torian, he must learn to doubt and to weigh the statements handed 
down from posterity ; if the Greek or Latin scholar, he is refused, 
not because of his Greek and Latin as taught in the schools, but 
because only so knowing he knows too little and too imperfectly ; 
when he has gained increased knowledge and breadth of view so 
that he knows his language as a harmonious part of a great whole, 
he, too, is eligible. Science takes cognizance of all nature and all 
the outcome of nature. How, then, can there be any antagonism 
between science and culture when true culture is only an esteemed 
and devoted offspring of science? Any antagonism between the 
two is as causeless and insensate as the revolt of the members 
against the body imagined in the ancient apologue.
