Excerpt from A Poets Message: Being a Discourse Given During the Visit of the British Association for the Advancement of Science, Delivered on Sunday, August 29th, 1909, in Knox Church Winnipeg

Hertz discovered the electromagnetic waves as 7a penetrating power and Lenard supported him. Next came the making known of the Rontgen or X rays, with their remarkable and beneficial powers; Musson adapted electricity to be a marvellous melting power in the electric furnace. Then there was, through the work of Lord Raleigh and Sir William Ramsay, the discovery of helium and its four new companion elements, and Dewar succeeded in liquefying hydrogen the most elusive of substances. The discovery by Becquerel of the radio-activity of uranium, and the finding of radium by the Curios, as well as the work of Professor Rutherford, who is with us, these and others make up a splendid corus cation of human genius. Instead of saying that Science is bankrupt, we shall exclaim as we see yet only the fringe of the garment of the Eternal God, How great and marvellous are the goings of the Almighty!
