ia a divine element in our nature
that enables us to think Gods
thoughts in the facts of nature as
well as in the words of Scriptures.
The natural world is a product OF
thought developed and governed by
. system of divine laws that are al
ways in force. God has planned and
made laws by which we live,
breathe, walk, see, hear, think, talk
and learn the meaning OF things.
How our Heavenly Father has
planned the universe for mans com
fort and how thankful and happy
man should be!
Mark the difference between the
accomplished Christian gentleman
and man in his uncivilized state and
then be thankful for the Gospel and
what the discovery of the laws OF
nature has done for you. Open your
mind to see how God planned the
laws of steam and electricity in
keeping with mans capacity to util'

and comfort to human hearts. Go
through your house, look and think
as you go. You will see things OF
art and culture everywhere-books,

bearing the marks of the divine in

When in the city you may look
around and notice the buildings, and
works Of man, and remember that
the people who have done all these
wonderful things are members of
your family. God is their father and
he has given them a task you could
not do. They are doing the work
and you are getting the benefit of it.
God has given every person re-

great comfort and joy. Are you
