A Parable.

FAITH AND SCIENCE.

Two bathers went down to the ocean to bathe. The name of the one was Faith; and the name of the other was Science; and the ocean shall be called the ocean of God.
And Science said, as he stepped into the water, “I am resolved to go only where I can touch bottom fairly.” So he waded about timidly by the beach, hurt his feet on sharp stones; lobsters bit him; a slough of mud almost mired him. This man went home ill at ease, and came not again to the ocean.
But Faith said, “I know that the ocean is deeper than I,” and swam boldly out a furlong far, and came back refreshed. And he went again to the ocean oftentimes.
