Hopkins know-how do know-that we are the
actual sons OF those fathers whose names we bear!
Scientific" proof? Why, there Is not particle OF
evidence that would stand inspection by that dry
light" for which science asks. True there Is the
old family record; there is the unbroken tradi-
ton; there is the long assumption OF undsputed
claims; yet OF these, science Will tell us, can
free our cherished belief from every possibility OF
mistake Yet not man in thousand has the
faintest shadow OF doubt regarding his paternity.
We know IT, | take the fact as proven truth-than
which no truth is surer-soley from faith In that
mother who bore me and loved me. ana whose NE
incarnated every virtue til God called ner from
my sight to eternal felicity
Now, II Is precisely upon the same ground tnat
| accept and believe the resurrection OF Cnrlst;
Ny reason would suggest doubt but my spiritual
mother tells me II Is truth. and bow my mead.
What Is II to her children that the Higher CRU,
cisn would find discord between the stories OF
Matthew and Luke. or discrepancy In the record OF
John and Mark? Put emphasis upon all OF IL, ana
the teaching OF the living Church He holds In her
keeping the precious records but even without them
all she would exist Her children put their rain
in her. not In the historic value of manuscript or
the inerrancy OF book. In a thousand ways she
has earned the love OF her children, and all argu,
ments are powerless to affect faith rounded
upon love. And yet confess that but few years
since | should have echoed every assertion or ag-
Mysticism and Endorsed every doubt. ..
