WiLLiAii Louis Poteat. M.A., LL.D. President Emeritus The great men of science are feeling today that a system of things out of which mind arose must itself be mental at bottom, that the order of the universe suggests an Infinite Intelligence, its beauty an Infinite Artist, its invisible ministries an Infinite Friend. They have done little beyond presenting examples of the miracu- lous, lifting the curtain on wonder. With a clearer and ampler radiance the heavens declare the glory of God, and the solid firma- ment of the Psalmist, dissolved now into the illimitable universe of stars, shows the divine handiwork with a new and overwhelming impressiveness.
