Book synopsis

Excerpt from Duquesne Monthly, Vol. 30: October, 1922 Is there any human, earthly power to shield us from such a danger? Where is the created knowledge that can never err? 15 not all created truth, precisely because created, limited? It is like a star that gives light indeed, but is not strong enough to illumine our human paths. If we would be sure of the way, we/ must walk in the light of the sun, we must walk under the beaming light of Him Who says: I am the Way, the Truth and the Life. If we really wish for truth unalloyed, we must go to Him. Look around you and see. See the ways of the stars above, search the darkness of the abyss below; 'bury yourself in the study of man's history, sink your minds into the mysteries of numbers and the labyrinths of life. Lift the veil from some heretofore undiscovered truth, lay down a law hitherto nu known, a law that works and proves its own actuality, and you have reached the highest point of human knowledge. But, tell me, whence come these objects of knowledge - and knowledge must have some foundation in being? Whence those laws, so potent and fundamental that they underlie every force, and so mysterious and hidden, that man, despite the outlay of incalcu lable energy, needed centuries to formulate just one of them? What hath laid the measures of the earth, or who hath stretched the lines upon it? Upon what are its bases grounded, or who laid the corner stone thereof? Who shut up the sea with doors Who is the father of rain, or who begot the drops of dew? Who gave a course to violent showers, or a way for noisy thunder? He hath made us, and not we ourselves, is creation's answer to it all. They are His wit~ nesses they are the stars that reżect His light; they are parts, so to speak, of the infinite reality of God, the radiations from the treasure-house of His power and wisdom. Look again, but now, into your own soul. Whence come the power of knowmg, the understanding, the memory, the creative imagination? Why is it not with us, as with some Alpine lake that looks as with a seeing eye to heaven, but soulless and dead only reżects the exterior magnificence of snow - capped hills surrounding it? Who gave you your power to penetrate beyond the shell and find the very kernel of truth, to touch the very essence of things, to find their causes, and thence build up unto yourself a veritable palace of ideas? From that same soul comes the answer: He made us, and not we ourselves. Thus, the truths we know point to God, as their cause. But He is also their end, the summary and perfection of all truth.
