THE IMPOSSIBLE.
1t Lies Just Beyond the Limit of Our
Own Understanding.

It Lies Just Beyond the Limit Of Our
Own Understanding.
Here is a striking parable by Miss
E. Fox Howard, which we take from
the Friends Fellowship Papers,"
"a dog tried to open door. He
scratched it. threw himself against it.
struggled to get his nose under it and
burrow his way out. but at last he
decided that the door would not open
and never could open. SO he lay down
before it and went to sleep.
"A child was watching the dog. and
he laughed and turned the handle with
his small fingers, and the door was
open. Then he took a book. and. sit
ting on the floor, he turned over the
leaves one by one and gaZed at the
queer black marks upon them without
knowing what they meant, for he was
very little child and he could not
read. AS there were no pictures to be
found he tossed it away.
But a boy picked up the book and
laughed and read page after page of a
wonderful fairy tale. Then he went
to school and puzzled his head over a
sum which had to be brought to the
class that morning. Try as he might
| the sum would not prove, and the boy
said: 4 can't do 1t. I'm sure it can't
be done. There must be a mistake in
| the book
But the pupils teacher laughed,
and, taking the blotted exercise book
from the boy, he quickly worked out
and proved the sum Then he turned
to his own studies and went into the
laboratory, for he was learning chem
istry. All the morning he !abored
among the gases and the acids. but he
could not get the right combinations
and only succeeded in making a loud
explosion. It's all rubbish to say that
potash GDd carbon form potassium" he
said. They simply explode, and | de-
fy any one TO say they don't"
"But the master, who had heard the
noise. came and took 1t into his own
hands. and soon the metal was drop
ping from the condenser After school
WAS Dhcl Tue WIN was S'AtliSo
an old man, sat in his study reading
a paper on modern scientific thought.
AS he read his brow darkened. and at
last he flung it down and said: 1t is a
rronstrOuS idea How can the crea-
ton Of the world have taken millions
Of years? The good old Bible account
of the six days of creation is good
enough for me- And he wrote an
angry letter of remonstrance to the
great professor who had sent him the
paper.
But the professor only smiled. for
he was a geologist and had read the
message of the rocks. He himself.
one of the deepest thinkers of the day,
sat late into the night among his
books. trying to fit some newly discov-
cred laws of physics into his schemes
Of things and to bring his mind nearer
to a solution Of the great why of the
universe At last he bowed his head
and said: 1T is impossible. Facts are
too conflicting. ! cannot explain them.
ald doubt II there is any explana-
tion.'
Just beyond the limit Of our own
understanding lies the impossible"
