" How charming is Divine Philosophy ! 

 Not harsh, and crabbed, as dull souls suppose. 

 But musical as is Apollo's lute, » 



And a perpetual feast of nectar'd sweets. 

 Where no crude surfeit reigns. " — MiUon. 



" Is it not desirable to call the soul from the feverish agitation of worldly 

 pursuits to the contemplation of the Divine Wisdom in the beautiful economy 

 of Nature 1 Is it not a privilege to walk with God in the Garden of Creation, 

 and hold converse with His Providence ? . . . The more we study the 

 works of the Creator, the more wisdom, beauty, and harmony become manifest, 

 even to our limited apprehensions, and while we admire, it is impossible not to 

 adore." — Sir J. E. Smith.
