Note 217 — Chapter VI
Hugh J. C. Beavan translation
[Why will some scientific men persist in separating, so strongly, religion and science, as if both could not be practised? This is what the “master of science” appears to think. Each student of science may well apply the following lines: “It is your duty to go on steadfastly, unwaveringly, ohne Hast, ohne Rast, conscious that you interpret, to the best of your finite ability, your conceptions of the truths of science, equally conscious that whatever may be the immediate result of your labours, they must eventually fulfil the aspiration which tends ad majorem Dei gloriam.”—C. Carter Blake On the Doctrine of Final Causes (Hastings Philosophical Society, meeting of January 13, 1864).—Editor.]
