walks forward on the eternal facts of Nature; which are the acted
will of God。 A giantess she is; young indeed; but humble as yet:
cautious and modest beyond her years。 She is accused of trying to
scale Olympus; by some who fancy that they have already scaled it
themselves; and will; of course; brook no rival in their fancied
monopoly of wisdom。
The accusation; I believe; is unjust。 And yet science may scale
Olympus after all。 Without intending it; almost without knowing it;
she may find herself hereafter upon a summit of which she never
dreamed; surveying the universe of God in the light of Him who made
it and her; and remakes them both for ever and ever。 On that summit
she may stand hereafter; if only she goes on; as she goes now; in
humility and in patience; doing the duty which lies nearest her;
lured along the upward road; not by ambition; vanity; or greed; but
by reverent curiosity for every new pebble; and flower; and child;
and savage; around her feet。
