Excerpt from Spiritual Law in Natural Fact Great Physician. In a ward of the hospital we see a skilful Surgeon, who has studied the delicate bodily structure which has been built after the divine plan, as he presses the knife along the path God has marked out with infinite precision. Because that path has been followed in the making, it can and must be followed in the mending. We stand breath less, because this man is a sort of high priest min istering in the most holy place. It is a service Of sacrifice and suffering for one form Of salvation. We go into a laboratory, and the devout man who is at home there assures us that he has not created nor decided anything; he is merely finding out how God has done and still does his work. We go into a factory and find men who have called in God's forces of steam and electricity - forces which they cannot see nor understand - to do their bidding and minister to human progress. These material machines are efficient just in proportion as they are orthodox. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Spiritual Law in the Natural World: An Attempt to Develop, According to Scripture-Truth, the Interpretation of Nature Lest I should be thought to misconceive Prof. Drummond here, - a thing very possible to any, . And of which I would desire to remember the possi bility, -i shall let him speak for himself, and as his book is in so many hands, it will be abundantly easy to verify the quotations. At the very outset indeed he tells us in his preface expressly, that when with him the subject-matter Religion had taken on the method of the-expression of Science, and I discov ered myself, he says, enunciating Spiritual Law in the exact terms of Biology and Physics, that this was not simply a scientific coloring given to Religion, the mere freshening of the theological air with natural facts and illustrations. It was an entire re-tastz'ug of truta. My spiritual world be fore was a chaos of facts. It was the one region still unpossessed by law. I saw then why men of science distrust. Theology; why those who learn to look upon law as authority grow cold to it - it-was the great Exception.

Excerpt from Natural Law in the Spiritual World Laws themselves, so far as known to me, is new; and I cannot hope to have escaped the mistakes and misadventures of a first exploration in an unsurveyed land. So general has been the survey that I have not even paused to define specifically to what de partments of the Spiritual World exclusively the principle is to be applied. The danger of making a new principle apply too widely inculcates here the utmost caution. One thing is certain, and I state it pointedly, the application of Natural Law to the Spiritual World has decided and necessary limits. And if elsewhere with undue enthusiasm I seem to magnify the principle at stake, the exaggeration like the extreme amplification Of the moon's disc when near the horizon - must be charged to that almost necessary aberration of light which distorts every new idea while it is yet slowly climbing to its zenith.

Excerpt from Psychic Philosophy as the Foundation of a Religion of Natural Law The writer of this book was one of the very large number of persons who, alive to the beauty of ideal Christian character, was quite unable to accept current forms of Christian dogma. While thus disturbed in mind he made the error of seeking not for Truth, but for the Truth, from the Chris tian Churches, from modern leaders of thought, and even from Oriental faiths, whose foundations he endeavoured to reach, and whose inner meaning he sought to understand. His attention was invited to the psychic phenomena, that have now attracted the incredulous or bewil dered notice of so many. He expected little from these things, and began the inquiry into them with entire and pronounced scepticism. But he was at last convinced that, whatever the explanation might prove to be, he was in presence of facts which promised solution to his difficulties, because these facts bear on the main problem - whether the human soul is but a name for the sum of vital functions, or has an objective existence, embodied and disem bodied. He has attempted in this book to sum marise the psychic facts and to show the inferences which seem to him to flow from them, in the hope that they may be of use to others.

Excerpt from Natural Law in the Spiritual World No class of works is received with more suspicion, I had almost said derision, than those which deal with Science and Religion. Science is tired of reconciliations between two things which never should have been contrasted; Religion is offended by the patronage of an ally which it professes not to need; and the critics have rightly discovered that, in most cases where Science is either pitted against Religion or fused with it, there is some fatal misconception to begin with as to the scope and province of either. But although no initial protest, probably, will save this work from the unhappy reputation of its class, the thoughtful mind will perceive that the fact of its subject-matter being Law - a property peculiar neither to Science nor to Religion - at once places it on a somewhat different footing.

But although no initial protest, probably, will save this work from the unhappy reputation of its class, the thoughtful mind will perceive that the fact of its subject-matter being Law--a property peculiar neither to Science nor to Religion--at once places it on a somewhat different footing. The real problem I have set myself may be stated in a sentence. Is there not reason to believe that many of the Laws of the Spiritual World, hitherto regarded as occupying an entirely separate province, are simply the Laws of the Natural World? Can we identify the Natural Laws, or any one of them, in the Spiritual sphere? That vague lines everywhere run through the Spiritual World is already beginning to be recognized. Is it possible to link them with those great lines running through the visible universe which we call the Natural Laws, or are they fundamentally distinct? In a word, Is the Supernatural natural or unnatural?

Natural Law is a new word. It is the last and the most magnificent discovery of science. No more telling proof is open to the modern world of the greatness of the idea than the greatness of the attempts which have always been made to justify it. In the earlier centuries, before the birth of science, Phenomena were studied alone. The world then was a chaos, a collection of single, isolated, and independent facts. Deeper thinkers saw, indeed, that relations must subsist between these facts, but the Reign of Law was never more to the ancients than a far-off vision. Their philosophies, conspicuously those of the Stoics and Pythagoreans, heroically sought to marshal the discrete materials of the universe into thinkable form, but from these artificial and fantastic systems nothing remains to us now but an ancient testimony to the grandeur of that harmony which they failed to reach.
