A Scientist Nailed It

And let us arise, and go up to Bethel; and I will make there an altar unto God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way which I went. 
Genesis 35:3

"Let us labor like servants 

---
who are certainly and shortly to give an account of their stewardship 
---diligently seeking to know our duty and faithfully and fearlessly strive to do it;
---constantly mindful of the fact that nothing but purity of heart is acceptable to God 
---and that we are constantly in his presence and known to him are all our thoughts and intentions however they may be hid from our fellow men."
 Joseph Henry (1797-1878), the "American Faraday"
Henry developed the electromagnet into a practical device. He invented a precursor to the electric doorbell (specifically a bell that could be rung at a distance via an electric wire, 1831) and electric relay (1835).
