This wholesome, though perhaps humiliating consciousness of our ignorance may tend to make us more distrustful of our own reasonings and more tolerant of the opinions of others ; when a contradiction seems manifest, it may induce us to reserve our judgment, and to C 34 ST NINIAN LECTURES seek to deepen our studies in the hopes of reach- ing a more secure foothold. You will remember how Laplace once calculated that, given certain initial conditions of distance and velocity, the moon would always... have been full and reigned over the night as the sun does over the day. Certain e sprits forts took occasion immediately to impugn the evidences of a beneficent and intelligent Deity. The coup de grace ^ however, was given by Liouville, who showed that, though the theory was correct, the equilibrium was unstable — per- haps a remarkable illustration of Bacon's dictum that a little knowledge may take us away from God, but that further knowledge will bring us back to Him. We may be further helped to this spirit of mutual toleration and goodwill by yet another consideration, and it will be my last.
