Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Truth and the Old Faith Ever since man Opened his wondering eyes upon the beauty of the earth, he has been searching into the causes of the things around him, and seeking an answer to the great problems concerning his origin, dwelling-place, and destiny. His earliest facts were Observed appearances, and his earliest theories were the fictions of his imagination' but as civilization grew, he learned that appearances were deceitful, and that ideal interpretations, like those of the Greek and other ancient sages, were erroneous. The inductive method of Aristotle, revived by Bacon, finally gave the rule Of scientific progress, and since Bacon's time the advance of positive science has been more and more rapid and sure. The lesson of Bacon is, that a knowledge of the true nature of things cannot be found out by thinking alone; but has to be discovered by reasoning upon the results Of Observation and experiment.
