Excerpt from Intelligence in Plants and Animals
Nothing is more charming to the mind of man than the study of Nature. Religion, moderation and magnanimity have been made a part of his inner being through her teachings, and the soul has been rescued by her influence from obscurity. No longer doth man grovel in the dust, seeking, animal-like, the gratification of low and base desires, as was his wont, but on the wings of thought is enabled to soar to the very gates of Heaven and hold communion with God.
Though made a little lower than the angels, yet, through the mighty play of forces that have been at work in the world, which we, in the latter half of this enlightened century, are just beginning-to recognize and comprehend, he has been lifted from the mire of degra dation and placed upon a higher social, intellectual, moral and spiritual level. Out of the animal, in the scheme Of Deity, the Spiritual system Of things is to be elaborated, and not the animal out of the Spiritual. This natural world, so to speak, is the raw material of the spiritual. Therefore, ere man can understand the Spiritual, he must understand the natural. Though his knowledge was at first about material things, or such as pertained to natural phenomena, yet from this through the ages has been builded, little by little, that mountain-height of knowl edge, intellectual and moral, which, if rightly directed, is to bring him into fellowship with Deity. A's we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly, or, Lord from heaven.
