sciences and industries OF the world.
II directed. limited aod controlled by
the physical laws. We have learned
that al natural laws are constant
and invariably in operation. and that
this principle II the basis Of scientif-
ic deduction, and that upon II rests
the stability and certainty Of human
knowledge.
When we have sought information
concerning . phenomenon Of nature.
or have needed new element. or ,
new combination OF elements. In our
physical researches. or TO complete
some instrument OF utility. we have
found II only through the study or
application OF the Law. Indeed we
find upon recollection. that all our
knowledge Is derived from our OBJ
servation OF the operation and effect
OF natural law.
We are therefore justified in as
suming that the law is Gods vehicle
OF communication with US, and that
IL is sufficient for His purposes.
In our observation OF the opera
tion and effect OF Gods laws, and es-
pecialiy Of those laws that affect our
physical welfare. We have never
found an instance OF sinister influ-
ence. but on the contrary have found
them uniformly saiutary. II We be-
come III and we can only become III
as the result OF violated Law. we OBJ
serve that the Law Immediately be-
comes active In an effort TO restore
US to health. Pain ensues. to notify
us that we have violated the Law. to
warn us against . further violation.
and to induce US to seek such rene
dies rs may be at hand. II we will
cease the violation. and Will put our
selves in an attitude OF harmony with
the Law. Il will Immediately proceed
to restore the diseased tissue to .
state OF health. Our modern indus
trial efficiency has resulted solely
from the study and application Of
physical laws to the problems of pro-
duction and transportation. arising
out OF the increase and spread OF
population. Indeed our whole indus
trial history. beginning with the man
who first struck fire from the flint.
consists OF n constantly increasing
knowledge Of the laws OF matter.
We therefore assume that Gods
intentions toward us are beneficial.
and that lie loves US with an eternal
and unchanging love.
II therefore God has made US the
recipients OF His bounty. and speaks
to us through the lA~. what II our 20
sision In HIS economy. First and
foremost. we arc partners with God
In the processes OF our own evolu-
tion. Thus far he has brought US as
infants. but nov that our eyes arc
opened to see and know His plan. and
our cars are unstopped 20 hear and
understand His voice. we must begin
inteiiiecnfly to work out our own sal
vatioa. Second. we are charged with
debt OF gratitude. and since we
cannot repay God directly. ne must
