IT has been asserted that God cannot be known. Those who say this declare that they themselves know nothing but phenomena.

He who made the world was certainly an intelligent being, in fact the highest intelligence; for in myriads of ways his works display the presence of profound thought and knowledge. Lord Bacon said, *T had rather believe all the fables of the Talmud and the Koran than that this universal frame is without a mind,” This being so, we do in that very fact know God in a measure; ay, and in such a measure that we are prepared to trust him. He that all things is more truly an object of confidenc«» than all things that he has made.
