Tyndall. Those utter- ances gave a rude shock to the feelings and behef of large numbers of people ; but it was not known, or if known was not remembered then, that they were provoked by an utterly unprovoked attack made by an English bishop, when neither of the men whom he assailed was present to defend him- self, and when everything in the occasion made it impossible to contradict him. Once more, I say, let me not be misunderstood. I am not here as the defender or apologist of Messrs. Huxley ...and Tyndall. Men of science lose their tempers some- times, and say hasty and regrettable words, like clergymen and other fallible people ; but they have often had strong provocation, if not positive ex- cuse, in the utterly unsympathetic and even ag- gressively hostile attitude of those whom they are striving to enlighten. And then, again, there is another class of per- sons to whom science is not so much an uninter- esting, or an atheistic, as an unprofitable thing. They can see the use of philanthropy, for the phil- anthropist aims to help the poor, to rescue the de- graded, to instruct the ignorant, and to care for the neglected and the outcast.
