consciousness we are raised towards God, fundamentally
sure, that whatever happens to us, is for our
good. Our earthly eye is only able to reach
to a certain boundary in space; our soul’s eye
also has but a limited scope; but beyond that,
the same laws of loving-kindness must reign, as
here. The prescience of eternal omniscience
cannot alarm us; we human beings can apprehend
the notion thereof in ourselves. We
know perfectly what development must take
place in the different seasons of the year; the
time for flowers and for fruits; what kinds will
come forth and thrive; the time of maturity,
when the storms must prevail, and when it is
the rainy season. Thus must God, in an
infinitdy greater degree, have the same knowledge
of the whole created globes of His
universe, as of out earth and the human race
here. He must know when that development,
that flowering in the human race ordained by
Himself, shall come to pass; when the powers
of intellect, of full development, are to reign;
and under these characters, come to a maturity
