Because science is in advance of the age we should not say, “adhere to personal sense to-day, for our present life depends on matter.” If this is the case, man is mortal; but it is not so, and we cannot advance in science until we lose this belief. Error is not a necessity at present or in the future, and to-day is the acceptable time of Truth; the present, even as the future, demands the science of being.
