A Great Memory Does Not Make A

Without Self-knowledge You Have No Root In Yourselves Personally; You May Endure For A Time, But Under Affliction Or Persecution Your Faith Will Not Last. This Is Why Many In This Age (and In Every Age) Become Infidels, Heretics, Schismatics, Disloyal Despisers Of The Church. They Cast Off The Form Of Truth, Because It Never Has Been To Them More Than A Form. They Endure Not, Because They Never Have Tasted That The Lord Is Gracious; And They Never Have Had Experience Of His Power And Love, Because They Have Never Known Their Own Weakness And Need.

I See Nothing In The Theory Of Evolution Inconsistent With An Almighty Creator And Protector.

Brutes Gaze On Sights, They Are Arrested By Sounds; And What They See And What They Hear Are Sights And Sounds Only. The Intellectof Man, On The Contrary, Energises As Well As His Eye Or Ear, And Perceives In Sights Or Sounds Something Beyond Them. It Seizes And Unites What The Senses Present To It; It Grasps And Forms What Need Not Be Seen Or Heard Except In Detail. It Discerns In Lines And Colors, Or In Tones, What Is Beautiful And What Is Not. It Gives Them A Meaning, And Invests Them With An Idea.

There Is A Knowledge Which Is Desirable, Though Nothing Come Of It, As Being Of Itself A Treasure, And A Sufficient Remuneration Of Years Of Labor.

Reason Is One Thing And Faith Is Another And Reason Can As Little Be Made A Substitute For Faith, As Faith Can Be Made A Substitute For Reason.
