Philosophically, one scarcely sees
either the necessity or the possibility of being born again. Why a
virtuous man should not simply grow better and better until in his own
right he enter the Kingdom of God is what thousands honestly and
seriously fail to understand. Natural Law, Bio-genesis, p. 80.
February 5th. Lavish Love upon our equals, where it is very difficult,
and for whom perhaps we each do least of all. The Greatest Thing in the
World.
February 6th. Spiritual Life is not something outside ourselves. The idea
is not that Christ is in heaven and that we can stretch out some
mysterious faculty and deal with Him there. This is the vague form in
which many conceive the truth, but it is contrary to Christ's teaching
and to the analogy of nature. Life is definite and resident; and
Spiritual Life is not a visit from a force, but a resident tenant in the
soul. Natural Law, Bio-genesis, p. 87.
February 7th. If we neglect almost any of the domestic animals, they will
rapidly revert to wild and worthless forms. Now, the same thing exactly
would happen in the case of you or me. Why should man be an exception to
any of the laws of nature? Natural Law, Degeneration, p. 99.
