It is the great achievement of modern times that men have acquired something like a definite knowledge of the material world about them. Accurate knowledge has supplanted vague speculation. Science has exorcised superstition. But while we have thus advanced in positive knowledge of nature we have lost ground in our consciousness of the nearness of that unseen world which we call the supernatural. The world of matter has become more real to us, but the world of spirit which seemed so near and so real to those of former ages seems to have become remote and of uncertain existence to us. How to bring back this lost consciousness of the presence and reality of the unseen spiritual universe is the great problem of the time. How to reconcile the exactions of positive knowledge and definite measurements, with that attitude of spirit that lays hold of the realities of the unseen world in a living faith is the urgent need of this day. — Methodist Recorder, Pa.
