That which beseemeth man is submission unto such restraints as will protect him from his own ignorance, and guard him against the harm of the mischief-maker. Liberty causeth man to overstep the bounds of propriety, and to infringe on the dignity of his station. It debaseth him to the level of extreme depravity and wickedness. In one he approaches God, in the other he lives for the world alone. But if on the contrary he rejects the things of God and allows his evil passions to conquer him, then he is no better than a mere animal.
Nature is the material world.
When we look upon it, we see that it is dark and imperfect. God has sent forth the Prophets for the purpose of quickening the soul of man into higher and divine recognitions. The conclusion is irresistible that the splendors of the Sun of Truth, the Word of God, have been the source and cause of human upbuilding and civilization. This is not the glory of man. The glory of man is in the knowledge of God, spiritual susceptibilities, attainment to transcendent powers and the bounties of the Holy Spirit.
