Here love, trust, sympathy, will be stimulants of thought and elements of moral power. Nature is from God no less than mind. It was made for mind. It reflects the thoughts and feel- ings of God. It is understood only as the thoughts of. God in it are reached, and it must be that, as we are in a right moral state, and in sympathy with God, we shall have a finer sense and a quicker .sympathy on the side of nature. She will open herself to us more fully, and be- come, in a far higher sense, a comp...anion and an educat- ing power.
