And directly we ask this question we are confronted by the problem of the relation between spirit and matter. It is comparatively easy to trace the connexion between the different departments of our physical experience when taken xo4 THE RELATION OF CHRISTIANITY [chap. by themselves; and in like manner between the different departments of our spiritual experience. But the essential question, if we are ever to under- stand the meaning of the world as a whole, is how are these two spheres or aspe...cts of being related to each other. Is spirit but a passing phosphorescence on a sea of matter? Or is matter ultimately a manifestation of spirit? Or yet again, if the two are co-ordinate aspects of one and the self- same thing, how are their apparently contradictory attributes of necessity and freedom to be reconciled ? Is spirit less free, or matter freer, than we habitually think? And as this is a question in which both science and religion are concerned, it is obvious that here, that is in the philosophic field, they must necessarily meet.
