scientists repeat their experiments To obviate these difficulties under different conditions, but it must be clear to everyone that this method of attaining truth (whilst it is the only one available in many cases) requires more time and is more liable to error than the others which we have sidered. At any rate it is, of all methods, the least practical for the affairs of daily life.

But it is foolish to supposo, because & conclusion has been reached by вclence, that therefore it must be true, and it must be atated in all fairness that the great scien- tist is rarely guilty of such dog- matism-and more rarely now than half a century ago. Science, like a man maturing into middle nge, is beginning to realino that "none of us is infallible-not even the youngest,"
Proceeding to elaborate his arguments, Father Joy said the principles so far established are these:
1 There are many roads to truth of which science is but one. 2 Each can give certainty if properly applied.
