"Observing nature is my religion," a scientist once reflected. "If any day I don't discover something new in nature, I feel that the day has been wasted." If this is the state of one who is absorbed in God's creation, then how can the state of one who is absorbed in the Creator Himself be any different?

Just as the scientist discovers something new in the world of creation every single day, so a believer should always be making new discoveries about his Creator– discoveries that increase him in faith.

The Fabians put their faith in evolutionary Socialism rather than in revolution. They were true pioneers in British social and economic reform and were concerned mainly with the eradication of poverty and ignorance through education.
