Excerpt from Mechanics and Faith: A Study of Spiritual Truth in NatureThe exposition of this view will not, however, be reached until an advanced stage of the discussion. Until then it will be necessary to conform the language em ployed to the prevailing idea of a distinction between matter and force. Otherwise the truths which are pre sented in the earlier papers would not be conveyed with clearness.This conception of the identity of matter with force must be regarded as fundamental in true philosophy. In every department of thought there is to be observed a reluctance to recognize the fact that we are surrounded by mysteries. While in reality all things pass the limit of our understanding, there are not wanting minds which refuse to confess that any thing does so.Instructors generally feel called upon to explain every thing. In order that they may seem to do this, they assume imaginary starting-points, which, having been devised either by themselves or by their instructors, are of course quite within their comprehension.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
