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.
