In the course of his learned speech, he said: “The future will be dominated by the nation which sticks most closely to the facts.” His speech created a deep impression on the minds of his hearers, who felt the future would be dominated by physical science and the material data furnished by it. After a moment of silence, the Dean called upon Edward Miall, member of Parliament and President of the Royal Commission on Education and this is what he said: “I have been listening to the last speaker with profound interest, and agree with him that the future will be dominated by the nation which sticks most closely to the facts. But I want to add one word. ‘All’ the facts! The greatest fact in history is God!’ Yes, the greatest fact in history is God. And true success belongs to those who work with God. During the days of the civil war, Abraham Lincoln put a very pertinent question to his people. “It may be true,” he said to them, “that God is on our side; but the real question is: “Are we on the side of God?” When the great English poet, Robert Louis Stevenson, sought spiritual illumination and found it, he wrote to his father: “No man can achieve success in life until he writes in the journal of his life the word ”Enter God!” Shopping Find Great Deals on Gifts at Shopping Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
