Bacon went to Nature for other ends. - ---
The ?practical, the useful the Tinian
threpic, the progressive, ;these were the
principles he sought for in - bar works.
Instead of thinking withSeneea that phi
losophy has no th ing to do with utilitarian
[objects, lie conceived that it was wisely
'employed if engaged in, promoting the
present good of lutuan kiud, The acute
insight of Bacon saw that nature was a
1 vast storehouse: of resources, an immense
arsenal whence wen might draw the weap-
ons needed in the warfare with ignorance,
poverty, and feebleness.
*eon taught the seventeenth century ,
phii ki:olenoo of thought; Newton listened'
to the authoritative. critic and imbibed
his spirit. Bacon showed where men
had erred; Newton kept his eye on thei
beacon-light, and never lest for an instant I
ita Warning radiance. ^ . Bacon' declared
how Nature ought to be approached—the
Childlike- , temper,. the. reverent docility,
the Simile trustingness,, the waiting hu
mility, the persevering energy, the in
vincible hopefulness were the attributes
thatf s he commended in one who should
inqUire in Nature's temple; Newton an
swereitto the: splendid idea. His phi-1
losophy was religion in everyday apparel. ,
If, in seasons of enrapturing revelations,
lit put on its worshiping robes and lifted
I high; its psalm-like praise, it quickly re-,
i kurned, to the' attitude of a disciple seated 1
at Nature's feet, and breathlessly holding,
as one awe-struck, the sublime thoughts
1 that the wonders of creation awakened
within him. Bacon stated the language
in which the oracles of Nature were to be
questioned; Newton adopted it, and was!
ans'i ered. pawn enunciated the oardi- 1
nal maxims of modern science; Newton 1
took the axiom's and based on them his
demonstrations. What a glorious fellow.,
ship': How mighty the summons, how!
~majCstio the response ! Both were giants 1
of thought ; how like, andLyet how unlike! j
The:one l i was the most magnificent of the-1
orists ; the other was the genius of reality.
If the former laid the sure foundations!
and :erected- the massive superstructiiris of 1
the temple of modern science, the latter,
opened its portals that the glory of the 1
universe might enter and 'abide, for all
time, above its dedicated shrine.
Both these illustrious men were dis
, coverers. !Bacon was a discoverer of
thoughts, and Newton of facts, Bacon
worked within ; Newton without. More
perfect parallelisms never existed, 4ot
ic,g in completest harmony, they have
prospectively secured the material uni
verse to the human mind. They were
the founders of the empire of man over
nature, Since their day the history of
intelleat hair been a history of progressive
growth, of fertile activity, of broad en
laigement. This is not surprising. Pe
riods of great discoveries have always been
