Selected Quote

Consider now that the universe is so large that the best reflecting telescopes enable us to see stars by light which started journeying toward us so long ago. The subsequent history of these stars is completely unknown. They may long since have ceased to exist. There seems no reasonable alternative to the conclusion that the Creator has methods of communication which travel by other means and at speeds unknown and perhaps unknowable to mortal man. Somehow, the universe is coordinated and regulated by influences which transcend the known laws of physics. Nor should this seem strange if one remembers that such marvels as radar, radio, and the telegraph were unimaginable a century and a half ago. What wonders can we hope to unravel in the endless eternity ahead? ... Though our knowledge of the universe is always expanding, the fundamentals of the gospel endure unchanged.

Man in his ceaseless search after truth has discovered and partially explored five world. These worlds differ from each other in the size of the units of space and time we need to describe them. In our every day practical world, we get along nicely with s

Let us consider the nature of true greatness in men. The people who can catch hold of mens minds and feelings and inspire them to do things bigger than themselves are the people who are remembered in history.... those who stir feelings and imagination and make men struggle toward perfection.

... true religion was never a narrow thing. True religion concerns man and the entire universe in which he lives.

It is therefore limitless, and as boundless as that eternity which it teaches lies ahead of every son of God.... Here is the spirit of true religion, an honest seeking after knowledge of all things of heaven and earth.
