Yet even today, when the Faith of Christ is
decayed among the nations, and when Christianity seems to belie the promises of Christ, and to be passing
into the dead world of human religions, one more among many, even today, whatever individual
values we hold sacred, whatever sanctity we claim for the personality of man, whatever freedoms, above the rut of biological materialism, we try to salvage from the ruins of a culture, all these are the droplets which remain within that chalice of the Christian Faith dashed down by the nation.
Likewise a perturbation to the T ^ 4 pattern that gradually
decays downward
into the atmosphere may be necessary to balance the anomolous cooling near TOA and some anomalous warming below that due to the darkness of space (the anomalous warming would be from the intensity in all directions downward from space not only being not more than 0 but also being not less than 0 — continuation of the T ^ 4 pattern would after all require negative
values at some point).
