Of those actual processes and laws they know about as much as the screws of their microscopes. Next, the word law in their mouths is a prudent euphemism. It is " law " for " must-be." That is their notion! Their great men dearly love to be spounding and splaining of "necessary law:" and what is that? Just must-be law! Some of them try to avoid must, and to do it with cannot and impossible. It is all the same dogmatism. If you have anything to say to me in science about demonstrated law, imparting your demonstrations, I will listen with all reve rence. But must-be law, though laid down with " can't be" and-ality and-ility, is always in the mouth of the propounder, Our law, and My law! Their can't be, if unchecked, may turn into a terrible sha'n't be. That sort of logic I refer, not to my head, but to my foot. Nine-tenths and more of what these gentlemen mean by their most solemn pronunciation of the word "law" is Must-be so! We know! And if we contradict their Must-be's,--as we ever shall sternly contradict them, even when their dogmatism is loudest, on that boundary where truthful and modest science commits us to the higher teaching of conscience and of faith,--they roar and rail at us for denying, as they most falsely pretend, the control of law! It appears to me, on the whole, Sir, that the patronage of the cosmogony department is, to say but little, rather queerly administered. If now these Matter-and-Must-be doctors are not cosmic lawyers, what are they? In the first place, they are noble museum-makers.
