Laws have no validity except as expressions of the forces back of them. The uniformities of nature are not mere haphazard coincidences but intrinsically necessary conditions. They are based on the nature of things and constitute an intrinsic and necessary part of the world-order or, rather, of the universal older. The uniformities of nature are eternal. They are uncreated and uncreatable.
Natural laws are inherent in creation.
Man is constituted upon and in perfect harmony with these laws. There is an inseparable and orderly relationship between the laws of nature and the highest welfare of man. No one accustomed to observing the exact order and harmony that prevail in the world about him will question that his own body is constituted upon precise and fixed principles and that the vital machinery is controlled by express law. In thus formulating the primary law of life Walter followed Newton's formulation of the Law of Gravity . I think he followed it too closely.
