Order in the Universe
By Archibald Henderson

In ancient times, and until a
comparatively recent epoch
natura philosophers regarded
Nature as capricious and her
operations as sporadic and un-
predictabie. The characteristic
feature of contemporary science is
the view, now universally held by
scientists, that the universe is
orderly in its processes. The
nature and quality Of this orderli.
ness in many fields of knowledge,
notably in the domains of biology
and psychology, are as yet i'm.
perfectly understood. But despite
our lack OF full knowledge, there
is no longer any reason to doubt
that order reigns in all domains of
nature.
This point of view has been
well expressed by r. r.. MouIton:
Similar initial conditions are al.
ways followed by similar sequences
of phenomena--in popular terms,
a given cause under given condi-
tons always produces the same
result. This proposition is so
simple that it often seems almost
automatic, but the history of
mankind proves that such Is far
from being the case. The mum.
erous capricious gods and god.
desses of NEUROLOGICAL days were
invented to explain the phenomena
OF a universe whose orderliness
was not perceived, and the super
st1tions of the present time are
evidence that the underlying prin.
ciple on which science rests is
unfortunately not yet universally
accepted"
There is some deep. underlying
movement or progression in the
universe which is the outward ex.
preston of immutable law. The
race is headed for some distant, un-
seen, as yet perfectly realized goal.
Man must go forward or. be lost.
Stagnation spells extinction. We
are all involved in the operations
of this universal law which Shap.
ley, refusing to define it. calls the
Drift.
The Washington times., 1929-09-07

A FAMILIAR utterance of dis
"A illusioned critics in a post
war world is that everything has
become rnonotonous. We know
all that we need to know, and can
predict in advance everything that
is going to happen! Nothing
could be further from the truth.
It is true that science has &C.
Complished miracles in recent
years. The scientists have ad-
vanced the frontiers of knowl-
edge deep into the jungles of the
unknown. The inventor have so
smoothed the pathway of exist
ence that life is a comfortable
and delightful recreation. But
only a beginning has been made.
The greatest contribution of sci.
ence and invention to the human
race is not the Improvement OF
the material conditions of living,
The greatest boon conferred by
science and invention upon the
human race Is providing unlimited
opportunities for cultivating the
intellectual side of mankind. For
every problem solved, a hundred
new problems emerge which tax
the ingenuity of mans intellect
1t is quite true that, during
the past three decades, more dis.
covertes have been made in the
realm of science than in all the
previous history Of mankind.
But the new questions raised by
these discoveries provoke investi.
cations and researches on an un.
precedented scale. We are all,
Individually and collectively,
bound upon a great quest-the
unending effort to discover the
nature Of the world and of man.
We are all seeking, consciously or
subconsciously, to build up some
mental picture Of the cosmos and
OF mans place in it. Everyone
has some such picture. says a
famous scientist, which serves
him as a basic philosophy of life
in terms of which he interprets
events and in harmony with
which he orders his own actions.
It is, In fact his character.
