...church. "It was a part of the exaggerations of which we were guilty in 1920," he admits, "that we were able to see the theological relevance of the Church only as a negative counterpart to the Kingdom of God which we had then so happily rediscovered. We wanted to interpret the form of the Church's doctrine, its worship, its juridical order as 'human, all too human,' as 'not so important . . .'

The stars and hydrogen, they say, are presumably held together by gravitation and revolve more or less as a unit. The outstreaming hydrogen beyond the ring is hard to explain. They calculate that at the present rate of flow, all the hydrogen should have been drained from the nucleus in a mere 10 million to 100 million years, which is only a tiny part of the life span...
