136 mind sends forth its own resemblances, of which the wise man said, “All is vanity.”

Nature voices natural law and divine Love, but human belief misinterprets her. Arctic regions, sunny tropics,

giant hills, winged winds, mighty billows, verdant vales, festive flowers, and glorious heavens, all point to the invisible Intelligence above them. The floral apostles are hieroglyphs of Deity. Suns and planets teach grand lessons. The stars make night beautiful, and the leaflet turns naturally towards the light.

In the order of Science, wherein the Principle is above what it governs, all is one grand concord. Change this

statement, suppose Mind to be in matter, or Soul in body, and you lose the keynote of Being, and there will be continual discord. Mind is perpetual motion. Its symbol is the sphere. The rotations and revolutions of the universe of Mind go on unconsciously.

Mortals move onward towards good or evil, as time glides on. If they are not progressive, past

failures must be repeated until all poor work is effaced or rectified. If at present satisfied with wrong-doing, we must become dissatisfied with it. If at present content with idleness, we must learn to loathe it. Remember that mankind must sooner or later, either by suffering or by Science, be convinced of the error that is to be overcome.

In trying to undo the errors of sense one must pay, here or hereafter, the utmost farthing, until the body is fully brought into subjection to Spirit. The divine.
