BEYOND ELECTRONS by ADELAIDE WARREN PETERSON LOVE

First Line: THEY WHO ONCE PROBED AND DOUBTED NOW BELIEVE
Last Line: AND FIND A LIVING GOD BEHIND HIS DEEDS.
Subject(s): FAITH; RELIGION & SCIENCE; BELIEF; CREED;

They who once probed and doubted now believe
The Men of Science, for they humbly learn
There is a Will that guides the atom's course;
A Power that directs what they discern
In light and air, in star and wave and sod;
Beyond electrons they discover—God!

From research they derive a new faith that
Sustains foundations of our ancient creeds;
They grope through matter toward an utmost Light
And find a living God behind His deeds.
