The World God's School

THIS world is God's training-school, and like all his works it is well adapted to the accomplishment of his purpose. It is abundantly provided with all the materials and forces necessary for the development of man's threefold nature. Land and sea unite in furnishing him with a variety of pleasing and nourishing foods. The study of the forces which are operating around him, and of the laws which govern them, affords ample opportunity for the development of his intellectual powers; while the beauty and sublimity which surround him on all sides are sufficient to awaken and cultivate in him a love for the beautiful, and cause his spiritual nature to reach out after the Creator and Maker of all, who is his Father, Teacher, and Friend. Any other view of the purpose of the universe is unworthy and irrational. It mars the harmony which should exist between man and nature, while this view transforms all creation, man included, into a rhythmic poem.—Selected.
