To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
The rivers and the rains sweep the mountains into the sea, and the earthquake lays the loftiest buildings in the dust. But with all this seeming recklessness, not an atom is ever suffered to go to waste. Destruction is an impossibility in nature. You burn a candle or a log of wood, or you boil water till it evaporates in steam ; but the man of science can tell you that not a particle of these sub- stances have been lost, they have only been changed. This law of the indestructibility of matter, ...as it is called, is one of the surest in modern science, and it is even-where so in nature. Nothing is too small for the care of God. Insects far too minute to be seen with the eye are yet wonderfully and beautifully made. Every power is made to serve many 307 ends, like the sun, which not only directly gives light and heat, but makes the wind blow and the waters run. Every- where carefulness reigns. Nowhere is there waste ; nothing is lost. And we, brethren, arc nearest to the divine life, Ilkest to God in action, showing most the greatness of our nature when we shun every extravagance, restrain idle waste, and learn to husband carefully and to use only for wise and noble purposes the means God has given us.
