The Resurrection.

The time may never come when science will assert immortality as a necessary dog ma. But 1t Is doing something far more helpful than that. It is declaring that be- yond the utmost confines of its knowledge lies the source of all that is, which can only be Apprehended by the munitions of faith. Not the Christian only today, but reverent science 1t is, which puts forth the cry of the poet:
 Thou wilt not leave us in the dust
 Thou madest man: he knows not whyi
 He thinks he was not made to die.
 And thou hast made him thou art just.
