1883, July. I heard Mr. Adams at the Universalist Church . . . I was most surprised at his fear of Tyndall, Huxley and Spencer. Can the study of truth do harm? Does not every true scientist seek only to know the truth? And in our deep ignorance of what is truth, shall we dread the searching after it?
I hold the simple student of nature in holy reverence and while their live sensualists and despots and men who are wholly self-seeking, I cannot bare to have these sincere workers help up in the least degree to reproach. And let us have truth even if the truth be the awful denial of the good God. We must face the light and not bury our heads in the Earth.
Wow! Not much to comment here but somehow Maria already knew about the world in 2016, including the U.S. presidential contest! Goes without saying, some things never change.
