book OF Nature, from which may be
learned that God governs the ma
Iterial world by law. and that God is
Ia great world builder, and great
master artist; the book of the
Written Word from which is learned
that the law of the Lord is, perfect

to reveal and teach the deeper sptr-
ftual truths that Nature cannot; and
the book OF Human Life. as shown
