ABSTRACT

The discovery of uniformity must be regarded as mainly the work of Science: it did not come by revelation. Religious people seem to be losing some of their faith in prayer: they think it scientific not to pray in the sense of simple petition. The crudities of 'faith-healing' have a germ of truth, perhaps as much truth as can be claimed by those who contemn them. As to what is scientifically possible or impossible, anything not self-contradictory or inconsistent with other truth is possible. Whatever worthy attribute belongs to man, be it personality or any other, its existence in the Universe is thereby admitted: it belongs to the All. The Universe is huge and awful every way, we might so easily be crushed by it; we need the help of every agency available, and if we had no helpers we should stand a poor chance.
