Truth has yielded herself rather to their patience, their love, their single-heartedness and self-denial than to their logical acumen." Boole, the mathematician, assures us that "geometric induction is essentially a process of prayer--an appeal from the finite mind to the Infinite for light on finite concerns." The great prophets of religion and science have never denounced each other.

It is the unworthy followers of these great world teachers--worshipers of the letter but not of the spirit of their teaching--who have always been the persecutors of the later prophets and the bitterest opponents of progress.

They have studied the light of the particular revelation which they hold sacred, and have defined its properties and peculiarities as seen by their limited vision, with the utmost care and precision.

That is for them the one true light.

If God in His infinite bounty sends fuller light from another quarter, and the torch of inspiration burns brighter than before from a new torchholder, instead of welcoming the new lights they are angry and alarmed.
