SCIENCE AND FAITH.
A PROFESSOR’S TESTIMONY. “THIS LIFE IS NOT THE END.” (Received Wednesday, 9.35 p.m.) LONDON, October 6. What is described as the most remarkable scene ever known in a church congress occurred at Southport, following on the reading of a paper written just before his death on August 28 by Professor J. G. Adami, VieeOhancellor of the University of Liverpool. The Professor concluded: “I want to make it clear that a scientist may arrive at a clear knowledge of religious truth by the very methods employed at his own work. More and more as the years have passed I have become convinced that love of God is everything, and if man possesses this all other things are secondary. This life is not the end. The soul is immortal.”
After the reading, the Archbishop of York, with upraised hand, said: “These words from a dying man are too important for us to pass quickly to lesser things.” The Archbishop asked for silfent meditation, whereupon everyone la the crowded hall rose up and stood silently while the clock measured off three minutes.—(A. and N.Z.)
