The divine Principle, or Spirit, comprehends and expresses all; and all must therefore be as perfect as the

divine Principle is perfect. Nothing is new to Spirit. Nothing can be novel to eternal Mind, the author of all things, who knoweth His own ideas from all eternity. Deity was satisfied with His work. How could He be otherwise, since the spiritual creation was the outgrowth, the emanation, of His infinite self-containment and immortal wisdom?

Thus the ideas of God, in universal man, are complete, and forever expressed; and Science engirdles infinity

with the fatherhood and motherhood of Love. Human capacity is slow to discern or grasp God's idea, and the divine power and presence which go with it, in demonstration of its spiritual origin. Mortals can never know the Infinite, until they throw off the old man, and reach the spiritual image and likeness. What can fathom Infinity! How shall we declare Him, till, in the language of the apostle, “we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ”?
