First sentence: IT has been said often, and said as a reproach, that modern science, meaning the systematized growth of human knowledge for three centuries, has invalidated religious faith and left nothing in its place, that this self-same science controverts the creeds, particularly the Christian creed, and offers no satisfactory substitute; that its incessant advances sap popular belief in salvation by supernatural grace and yield no consolation at death.
