SCIENCE AND FAITH

Is it true that the greater the knowledge the
less the religious interest? Are these two persons
the man whose zeal for religion is equaled by his
bigotry and ignorance and the other in whom sci
entifc study has dwarfed spiritual sensibility fair
types by which to judge the relations of religion
and knowledge?
Is intelligence incompatible with real piety?
Will the growth of knowledge bring about the dis
solution of religion? Is the life of religious aspi-
rations and feelings out of date in scientific age
such constantly reminded this one is
to-day? Science has overcome superstition: is
faith bound up with superstition that it, too,
must go?
We can be of one thing, at least; that no
matter what our feelings, theories or ideals may
be, cannot turn backs on the great world
OF fact it is laid before The faith that fights
facts is committing suicide. Appeals to our fears
cannot to-day make the facts less real to us and
We know that by them we will have to stand or
fall
If you stop to think about it, there is striking
significance in the fact that this question has
arisen. Is there religion for the intelligent edu.
Gated scientific mind? 1t suggests another ques-
ton: Can any other mind fully comprehend the
riches and meaning of religion? The unthnkine
cling to customs traditions and forms that are the
vestiges of truth The trained mind distinguishes
