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.
