I think wo must dotormino what kind of Science
Ia meant, and what Ia moAnt by Religion. All
the points Of Physical Science are, nat opposed
to religion but think that tho basos of Meta
physical Science aro opposed to 1,oiigion. an
using tho word Religion now 10 Its common
stgntacaston. But now wish to sloN
that a Religion is tho . wrong word e
uHe y hero. Religion ss understand
It, Ia tho worsllp, or rather tho system o.
vorsllp. Theology is that op which the eystoH
