THE TRIUMPH OF MIND.
“ Ther© is nothing in science which finally contradicts religions faith, but also there are tendencies to he detected in the thought in these days which are in support of it. The criticism of scientific method which has been undertaken df recent years has led to an overhauling of the whole theory of knowledge and of tlie relation of the mind to the reality out of which it lias sprung and which it tries to understand. The result has-been a marked tendency in scientific and philosophic thought to install mind as the dominant 'factor in reality. To give life and mind a dominant place in the interpretation of the world is, of course still to he a long way off from religious laith in general, and even farther oil from Christian faith in particular, but there is no question it is to move a great deal nearer to these positions than the older scientific and philosophic theories which endeavoured to banish life and mind from the ultimntes ofi theUmverse altogether.” The llev. Herbert'H. Farmer, M.A., in ‘‘Experience of God —a Brief Inquirv into the Grounds off Christian Conviction.”
