Such an influence, Professor Lewis would regret, we doubt not, as much as any one. He has endeavored, in his writ­ings, to sustain and magnify the word of God. He has brought to the task a mind rich in classic learning and im­bued with firm religious faith.

He en­joins humility on the man of science, and will undoubtedly admit that we should all be humble. And if we have not partly failed in our end, he will acknowledge with us, that, in becoming humility, we should seek for knowledge' from na­ture, before attempting to expound her laws, taking God's manifestation of His power and wisdom as our guide to physical truth, as God in Christ is our source of spiritual truth, our light, our life, and our eternal joy.

His charming simplicity of character shines through his style of writing, and delights those of his readers who have no personal acquaintance with him,
