THE ETERNAL RIDDLE.
“Lot us 1)0 under no illusion about finding iiiuil explanations of wliat life is by this or any other methods. Matter, energy, time and space are in the melting-pot, and out of it will eomc we know not what of strange relations oi one to another. Of one tiling we may be sure—that no final explanation will follow. Lines of separation previously held to be rigid will probably fade away, and there will be found to la* a continuity between matter and energy, between living and non-living, between the conscious and the unconscious. But since philosophy cannot arrive at an explanation of the nature ot human understanding, the great mystery °l the origin, nature, and purpose or life will, 1 think, always remain to tease, stimulate, or humiliate us.’’— Professor C. Lovatt Lvans.
