and we have an abiding faith that
when far removed from the prej

Whence ami Whither.
Phenomena are not all we know.
We know also the whence and .he
whither. Tradition looks about
on wonderful Nature, and then
point upward with her linger of
mist. Science looks on about Na¬
ture still more wonderful, and then
point upward with her finger of
'tone. Revelation looks about on
a Nature—oh, how much more
wonderful still—and then points
upwards with both hands and all
her fingers of gold - Following
with our eyes those significant lin¬
gers—up through (runsparanevaf¬
ter Iransparanev. through azure
after azure, through vacant infin¬
ity after vacant infinity—we come
at last, not to a brute fog and mis¬
erable jumble of know-nothing
mechanics and chemistries that
somehow manage to swing from
everlasting to everlasting throu^
’’paradises of order and beauty and
construction, but to a sceptered
Person whose glory abashes and
rebukes all human words. That
scepter waves, and from its dia
mond tip leap worlds, systems,
universes. That scepter waves
again, and straightway the naked
worlds are clothed with more than
the jeweled robes of Solomon.
Waves the scepter still again
and at once by miracle an¬
imals lake their places in
the palaces of sea and air
and land. Wave again, and still
more emphatically, that scepter,
and lo, souls with their constella¬
tion faculties and glories orbits of
thought and hope and achieve¬
ment and virtue leap forth in still
superb astronomies, to reign over
all. Behold the whence—the
whither also!—Pater Mundi.
