God has endowed man with intelligence so that he may use his intelligence. Therefore he must supply himself with all that science can offer. He must be most deliberate and most careful. He must ever be thorough in his undertakings. He must build a thing well. Build the best ship that his ingenuity can lead him to and employ the most skilled captain, but with all that, let him rely upon God. Let him consider God as the one keeper.
