[Madam How and Lady Why by Charles Kingsley]@TWC D-Link bookMadam How and Lady Why CHAPTER XII--HOMEWARD BOUND 52/68
But if we love and reverence and trust Fact and Nature, which are the will, not merely of Madam How, or even of Lady Why, but of Almighty God Himself, then we shall be really loving, and reverencing, and trusting God; and we shall have our reward by discovering continually fresh wonders and fresh benefits to man; and find it as true of science, as it is of this life and of the life to come--that eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, nor hath it entered into the heart of man to conceive, what God has prepared for those who love Him. FOOTNOTES {1} I could not resist the temptation of quoting this splendid generalisation from Dr.Carpenter's Preliminary Report of the Dredging Operations of H.M.S.
"Lightening," 1868.
He attributes it, generously, to his colleague, Dr.Wyville Thomson.
Be it whose it may, it will mark (as will probably the whole Report when completed) a new era in Bio-Geology. ***END OF THE PROJECT GUTENBERG EBOOK MADAM HOW AND LADY WHY*** ******* This file should be named 1697.txt or 1697.zip ******* This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: http://www.gutenberg.org/dirs/1/6/9/1697 Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will be renamed.
