Having explained our position, we will close with the following parting words to our sectarian friends and critics. The materialists and sceptics who upbraid us in the name of modern Science—the Dame who always shakes her head and finger in scorn at everything she has not yet fathomed—we would remind of the suggestive but too mild words of the great Arago: “He is a rash man, who outside of pure mathematics pronounces the word ‘impossible.’ ” And to theology, which under her many ''orthodox'' masks throws mud at us from behind every secure corner, we retort by Victor Hugo’s celebrated paradox: “In the name of {{Style S-Small capitals|Religion}} we protest against all and every religion!”
