Knowledge and Faith

Maud Bodkin

We have but faith: we cannot know; For knowledge is of things we see.” So Tennyson wrote in the nineteenth century, using the same distinction that in the first of our era Paul the Apostle used, writing to his converts of the walking by faith that looks not to the things seen and temporal, but to the things eternal and unseen. (2 Cor. iv. 18, v. 7.)
