January 8th. There is a sense of solidity about a Law of Nature which
belongs to nothing else in the world. Here, at last, amid all that is
shifting, is one thing sure; one thing outside ourselves, unbiassed,
unprejudiced, uninfluenced by like or dislike, by doubt or fear. . . .
This more than anything else makes one eager to see the Reign of Law
traced in the Spiritual Sphere. Natural Law, Preface, p. 23.
January 9th. With Nature as the symbol of all of harmony and beauty that
is known to man, must we still talk of the supernatural, not as a
convenient word, but as a different order of world, . . . where the Reign
of Mystery supersedes the Reign of Law? Natural Law, Introduction, p. 6.
January 10th. The Reign of Law has gradually crept into every department
of Nature, transforming knowledge everywhere into Science. The process
goes on, and Nature slowly appears to us as one great unity, until the
borders of the Spiritual World are reached. Natural Law, Introduction, p.
13.
January 11th. No single fact in Science has ever discredited a fact in
Religion. Natural Law, Introduction, p. 30.
January 12th. I shall never rise to the point of view which wishes to
"raise" faith to knowledge.
