ABSTRACT

The available evidence for the truth of the Divine Existence is abundant enough to satisfy every fair-minded thinker, even in these days of daring inquiry. The scientific spirit which probes and weighs the holiest truths, has by a wondrous compensation furnished religion with new arguments. Like the ocean which restores to the land in this or that place what it has stolen from it elsewhere, physical science diminishes the empire of Religion with one hand only to extend it with the other. God's witnesses are to be found not only in human nature, but in human experience. The history of the Jewish people is equally a witness to God and His sovereign will. In the Bible the Supreme is described as doing everything, even as hardening Pharaoh's heart, so profoundly convinced are the writers that human destiny, both individual and national, is the Divine handiwork.
