Dr. Boyd admitted im mediately that this is the Scientific Age, but science can go only so far in explaining certain, definite facts. Science cannot explain goodness, truth, or beauty. He went on to say that we should not lose our awe, reverence, and wonder of life. We should also have an awareness of the divine element and must prepare ourselves to receive the divine. In reading The Bible, sensory perception and intelligence are used. But only when we apply insight are we able to understand what it says. Beauty, truth, and goodness are necessary in order to live. These are given to us by divine revela tion and without it the desire to live leaves. We must learn to see the distant light shining through the darkness and follow it until we reach our goal. Christ can give the answers that science and philo sophy cannot provide. Dr. Bernard Boyd
