The natural world was precisely and perfectly adapted to invigorate and strengthen the intellectual and moral man. Its first and highest use was not to support the vegetables which adorn, or the animals which cover, its surface ; nor yet to give sustenance to the human body ; it has a higher and holier object, in the attainment of which these are only means. It was intended to draw forth and mature the latent energies of the soul ; to impart to them its own verdure and freshness; to initiate th...em into its own mysteries ; and by its silent and humble de- pendence on its Creator, to leave on them, when it is withdrawn by death, the full im- pression of his likeness. It was the design of Providence, that the infant mind should possess the germ of every science. If it were not so, they could hardly be learned. The care of God provides for the flower of the field a place wherein it may grow, regale with its fragrance, and delight with its beauty. Is his providence less active over 46 GROWTH OF THE MIND.
