Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Testimony of Reason From the middle of the last century to the present time a great wave of unbelief in the principles of revealed religion has been passing over the minds of some of the most learned men. The dicta of the Scriptures have been ignored by them and nothing believed except it be agree able to natural reason. What are supposed to be the teachings of science have largely dis placed faith. Those who have rejected the doctrines of orthodox Christian churches are not to be regarded with either indifference or pity. N 0 man lives who is a greater lover of truth than the scientist. The pursuit of science is the pur suit of truth, and the student of science makes truth his deity. He believes whatever facts teach; he follows blindly, joyfully where his reason leads.
