Natural Law, Mortification, p. 199.
May 30th. Remain side by side with Him who loved us, and gave Himself for
us, and you too will become a permanent magnet, a permanently attractive
force; and like Him you will draw all men unto you, like Him you will be
drawn unto all men. That is the inevitable effect of Love. Any man who
fulfils that cause must have that effect produced in him. The Greatest
Thing in the World, p. 45.
May 31st. Try to give up the idea that religion comes to us by chance, or
by mystery, or by caprice. It comes to us by natural law, or by
supernatural law, for all law is Divine. The Greatest Thing in the World,
p. 46.
June 1st. We love others, we love everybody, we love our enemies, because
He first loved us. . . . And that is how the love of God melts down the
unlovely heart in man, and begets in him the new creature, who is patient
and humble and gentle and unselfish. The Greatest Thing in the World, p.
46.
June 2d. The belief in Science as an aid to faith is not yet ripe enough
to warrant men in searching there for witnesses to the highest Christian
truths. The inspiration of Nature, it is thought, extends to the humbler
doctrines alone. And yet the reverent inquirer who guides his steps in
the right direction may find even now, in the still dim twilight of the
scientific world, much that will illuminate and intensify his sublimest
faith.
