SCIENCE AND RELIGION. The last of a series of five lettera in the Contemporary, by Professor Lloyd Morgan, reads as follows:-

You ask me to write you one more letter to indiente the bearing of what I have before written on the questions of immortality and of do is to draw your attention to certain free will. Knotty problems, my friend. All points of view. The problem of immortality is one that I cannot solve.

Let us turn, then, to a point of view which may or may not be helpful to you. We have seca that it is of the essenes of the conription! of an immunized Causs tint, though manifested in space and time, it is itself spaceless and timeless. If, then, we accept the metaphysical

You may at first. if this point of view is at all new to you find some difficulty in reconciling such determinism as is lerianded by science with human responsibility. But the diffleulty some of us feel is that of reconciling respousi bility with any other view. On what does the determinism of science rest? Surely on observed uniformity. On what does it rest in the field of conduct? Surely on the uniform activity of a given character. Just in so far as my character forms a coherent system, just in so specie ceteruitatia. This, I think, is the far as my fredlem lies in the axoner of direction in which our abstract conception of determiuntion by anything raatside the character inmortality must develop if it is to keep in close itself: can you hold me, that is my character. touch with metaphysical thought.

As to the freedom of the Will, a few words must suffice. It is a well-worn topic-woll-nigh worn throubare. Science stands for deter-

sense of value, and ask you to consider whe. : ther or not there is any true meaning in the phrase "made perfect through suffering," and whether Christ would be for you, what I trust He still is, if Ho were not a Man of sorrows, I cannot enter further into those matters. Ι can only add a valedictory word or two. If în any sense you retain a belief in God, remember that He reveals Himself to different men in different ways. Do not be impatient with us if I have urged points of view which do not appeal to you. Do not be impatient with what religious opinions. Do not even be impatient may seem to yon the narrowness of certain New with Atheism. I have met any Atheists able, but noble. And I hare sometimes thought. whose moral life has been not only irreproach that perhaps, after all, what seemed to me their limitation of viow was just a moans of con centrating the efforts on right living, and, therefore, for them. productive of good and not bad results. For when all is said and done. right living may outweigh many a crooked twist of thought. This. then, is my lust wond to you. Salva if you can the Riddle of the Universe, and cherish your religions beliefs, just in so far as they do not conflict with other beliefs, and, abort all. just in so far as they appeal to your sense of value in the conduct of life."
