in Its favor, while the faults Of the. age lie
partly at your doors and at the doors of others
who have neglected their religious duties.
Most investigators limit their labors to heds IN
which there is the greatest likelihood OF DIS
covery, and in which interest is most easily
excited. The great end of education is splr-
ltua], and we have cause for congratulation IN
the unconscious shaping of physical theories
by spiritual intultions. Prof. Chase quoted
length from Newton, La Place, Draper,
Huxley, Tyndall, and other eminent scientists
in support of this proposition. Do not fear to
acknowledge the ignorance you cannot con-
ceal. Be bold in asserting what you know and
science will gladly shake hands with you, and
sit at your feet to learn truths which supple
ment her own discoveries. Do not hope or
desire to Danish either bigotry or radicalism
Men will always differ in their thought. Men
of one idea fill useful place in the economy of
culture, fOr their very extravaganza may serve
as warning; their devotion as an example;
their leadership as an inspiration; their an
tagonism as useful restraint. Few walk so
safely in the golden way that they are never
misled by the mists of error. As with iudi-
viduals, so with ages and nations Each
represents a certain stage of progress.
Although history seems to repeat itself, each
repetition is shaped by new conclusions. Soc
rates and Plato left an impress upon all later
thought that can never be obliterated. Tbs
religions of antiquity prepared the way for
Christianity. Christianity is the elimination
VI Oil puiiuoupuy as WcIl do Vuo VI
all religion. Few are aware of the influence it
has exerted on the thought and mental calibre
of every individual in modern civilized COM
munities. No day commended PauPs Catholic
spirit more fully than our own. Though
science is so far aware of a realm beyond its
reach as to acknowledge the fact, it does not
maintain becoming humility. There is no
doubt that too exclusive observation in the
study of outward nature leads US to ward ma
terialism, and materialism will tend to dwarf
our spiritual growth. The maxim that I'VE
have higher warrant for believing. in God
than for believing many other truth whatever
should be impressed on every mind, and espe-
cially on the minds of physical investigators.
A decension of physical growth is natural
consequence of a narrow Intellectual culture.
The remainder of Prof. Chase's address was an
earnest appeal to the members of the Society
of Friends to give more cordial support to
their schools.
