The Pamphlet Collection of Sir Robert Stout: Volume 42
[epigraph]
At the present day men's minds are gradually reverting once more to spiritual sources for the ultimate elements of religious faith; and oven the physical sciences are assuming a form and direction in which the questions of a first philosophy must again be entertained, and the great controversy will have to be settled between the Theist and the Atheist, whether the universal and eternal Force which is admitted to underlie all phenomena, can receive any satisfactory explanation, apart from the acknowledgment of a Supreme and Infinite Intelligence. Grant this, which is the truth of truths, and religion has a basis in reality, on which its whole superstructure of trust and hope may by the continued agency of prophetic insight be solidly built up."
—Professor John James Tayler, B.A.
