Extract

A few days ago, meeting one of my scientific friends, I happened to mention the fact that I was going to Harvard to deliver the Dudleian Lecture, and that I had chosen as my subject “The Permanent Significance of Miracle for Religion.” “It is a good subject,” he said, “but you have left out the most important word. It ought to read ‘The Lack of Permanent Significance of Miracle for Religion.’”
