He predicted that - before the British Association raeetsi at Oxford again these answers will have been supplied and the universe will hnve been revolutionised ouce more beyond all previous scope. "Whereas throughout the 19th century and up to the present we have dealt chiefly with material works," said Sir Oliver, "there now lies before us the discovery of the spiritual world.
