Divine Love blesses its own ideas, causes them to multiply, to manifest His power. Man, as the image of

his Maker, reflects the divine might. He is the master of earth, not made to till the soil. His birthright is dominion, not subjection. He is lord of beast, fowl, reptile, and fish, — himself subordinate alone to his Maker. This is the Science of Being.

God gives the lesser idea of Himself, to support the greater. In return, the higher always protects the

lower. The rich in spirit help the poor, in one grand brotherhood, all having the same Principle, or Father; and blessed is that mortal who seeth his brother's need and supplieth it, seeking his own in another's good. Love giveth to the smallest spiritual idea might, immortality, and goodness, which shine through all, as the blossom shines through the dew. All the varied expressions of God reflect infinite Life, Truth, and Love.
