walks　forward　on　the　eternal　facts　of　Nature；　which　are　the　acted
  will　of　God。　　A　giantess　she　is；　young　indeed；　but　humble　as　yet：
  cautious　and　modest　beyond　her　years。　　She　is　accused　of　trying　to
  scale　Olympus；　by　some　who　fancy　that　they　have　already　scaled　it
  themselves；　and　will；　of　course；　brook　no　rival　in　their　fancied
  monopoly　of　wisdom。
  The　accusation；　I　believe；　is　unjust。　　And　yet　science　may　scale
  Olympus　after　all。　　Without　intending　it；　almost　without　knowing　it；
  she　may　find　herself　hereafter　upon　a　summit　of　which　she　never
  dreamed；　surveying　the　universe　of　God　in　the　light　of　Him　who　made
  it　and　her；　and　remakes　them　both　for　ever　and　ever。　　On　that　summit
  she　may　stand　hereafter；　if　only　she　goes　on；　as　she　goes　now；　in
  humility　and　in　patience；　doing　the　duty　which　lies　nearest　her；
  lured　along　the　upward　road；　not　by　ambition；　vanity；　or　greed；　but
  by　reverent　curiosity　for　every　new　pebble；　and　flower；　and　child；
  and　savage；　around　her　feet。
