To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
He found Himself unable to clear and till the soil by direc- tion, and hence He is indirectly doing it by our hands. It is all at His suggestion. Science is His work of colon- izing and civilizing His own country. There is not a single mechanic discovery or art of civilization that has not been used by Him first. Every application or prin- ciple that we use in bridge-building, architecture, teleg- raphy, motility in air, water, or on earth ; every use of chemistry, heat, light, electricity, or ...magnetism ; every de- vice of assault or protection; every tool or instrument whatsoever that we have made all have their analogues in animal or vegetable life ; all were His before they became ours. Our works indeed are not seldom mere adaptations of His mechanisms, and the fire of science is bright be- cause we are only commencing to learn. If we only had the knowledge and power over atoms and molecules, i. E. , if we were only such biochemists as He ! Could we but fly as His birds ! We have not yet the faintest idea of the mechanism of muscle-contraction.
