To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I ought to recognise God as the Omnipresent Cause of the universe in its relations of truth, right, and beauty. It is probable that science will one day recognise the entire universe as moral, that, in short, everything, not endowed with will, is as it ought to be. But, at least, we may see that truth, right, and beauty are three in one, and are, like all else, caused by God. We must, therefore, endeavour to free our- selves from the evil influence of the word " secular " and the like, as if th...ere were no sacredness in science. On the contrary, everything is sacred, because every- thing is, in one way or another, a true, righteous, and beautiful manifestation of God. 6.
