SCIENCE AND THEOLOGY

Every day we are told of some wonderful discovery of science. But what has

theology discovered? The scientist is searching for the truth; the

theologian is trying to save his idols. Of all the great inventions and

discoveries that go to make human life easier, happier, more rich and

glorious, not one can be laid to the work of theology. These triumphs all

belong to science. Some day the world will become wise enough to confess

that the priest is of no benefit to mankind. The investigator, the

student, the inventor, is the true philanthropist, the real benefactor. He

finds what is useful to his race, what adds comfort and joy to existence.

Science is the hope of the world, the only savior that humanity has had

adown the ages or will have as man lives on through the centuries.
