Abstract

The question is raised in a letter which just comes to hand from Rev. H. J. S. Astrup of Zululand, South Africa, who calls himself "an unknown far-away man," but whose labors in the South Africa mission-field are not unknown to us. Rev. Astrup particularly refers to a recent book of Sir James Jeans, The Mysterious Universe, a book which in this reader's opinion "has upset many person's faith," particularly in its bearings on the Christian's belief in creation.
