111 concluding this address I may approprintcly quote sonic other words by Sir William Dnnipicr ; thcy occur in his hook " The ltcccnt Dcvclopmcnt of Physical Sciiwcc," which I rcnicniber rending in niy undcrgriitluatc diiys.

From the blaze of the sun's bright glory \Vo sift cnch rty of light. \Ve steal froin the stnrs their story Across the. dnrk spiices of night. I h t hyond the bright seirreh-lights of sciencc. Old riddles still bid us defiance, Tlieru fnil nll sure rneana of trial, \Vhcro mnn, by belief or denial, Out of sight of tho windows of sense, Old questions of \Vhy and of \Vhcnce.
Tliere end id1 tho pnthwuys we've trod, Is weaving the purpose of God.
