about untbinkables and inconceivables, that are only words 
without any meaning. All that sort of thing is unworthy of 
reason, and fatal to its purest and highest issues. We must 
compare and compare — remember and remember — ponder and 
ponder — listen and learn with unshaken trust in the Divine 
Teacher, who will never deceive us, nor suffer us to be 
deceived, when looking to Him for guidance. This is pre- 
eminently what is needed in the present state, especially of 
what is called science, and it is most cheering to know that it 
is not so much wanting in society as some would lead us to 
imagine. There is here and there a group of proud, and 
consequently misguided, minds ; here and there a cry is heard 
as if in despair, or in madness, because God is thought to 
have hidden himself, or been found out to be the enemy of 
man. But, in spite of all that, and all else to be deplored, 
there are millions of souls bathing in the light of Jehovah's 
countenance, and cultivating their highest capacities in the 
fellowship of Christ.
