Excerpt from Natural Science and Religion: Two Lectures Delivered to the Theological School of Yale College As a student who has devoted an ordinary lifetime to one branch of natural history, in which he is supposed to have accumulated a fair amount of particular experience and to have gained a general acquaintance with scientific methods and aims, as one, moreover, who has taken kindly to the new turn of biological study in these latter years, but is free from par tisanship, - I am asked to confer with other and younger students, of another kind of science, in respect to the tendencies of certain recently developed doctrines, which in schools of theology are almost everywhere spoken against, but which are everywhere permeating the lay mind whether for good or for evil - and are raising questions more or less perplexing to all of us.
