' A Higher Power '...

Even the simple assurance that there is a higher power in the universe and a loftier meaning in human existence,

which religion gives--come in what shape it may--helped in the past to support life and endure death.

Instruction in science at first weakened or destroyed this faith but now,

through opening of the mind by relativity, nuclear physics, and biological discoveries,

is beginning to confirm it, as Bacon predicted.
