Excerpt from The Mystery of Matter: And Other Essays
The five years that have elapsed since the first publication of the following assays have given many indications of the rapid increase of that mood of mind to which it was thought they might possibly give a little help. This mood is not one of irreverence or of unsusceptibility to spiritual inspirations. It is rather a painful sense of incongruity between the alleged history of revelation and the actual facts of universal evolution, which, fragmentary though our knowledge be, do more and more impress upon us the conviction that they are "parts and proportions of one wondrous whole." There is no such schism between religion and intellect as that which characterized the last century.
