Science Should Seek After God
SCIENCE should seek after God. It contemplates good works, and contemplates them by the faculties which God has given. The wise men of the text, no doubt, brought the richest products of their countries with them. Science should bring its most precious offerings to the Lord. The Bible does not reveal scientific truth: that would not be comprehended by the body of the people. God leaves it to science to discover order in disorder; thus it is calculated to widen the mind. Some men have so familiarized themselves with these processes that they feel as if nature moved without any higher power to guide it. But wisdom is the fruit of a light which was seen at Jerusalem, and must be sought out at Bethlehem.—Sel.
