CHAPTER XX 



MORALITY. 



Morality, when weighed in the light of nature's 

 law, proves to be, "Do unto others as you wish to be 

 done by." Wherever that quotation was derived from 

 properly, there was a true knowledge of nature. The 

 author of that passage was a true student of nature. 

 He was not a God. He was a man who exercised the 

 proper power which nature had given him. He was 

 simply acting according to the dictates of the power' 

 that made him. He exercised the proper power of 

 the brain ; he weighed passing events or action in the 

 balance and from same derived truth. His truth, made 

 ponderable in those few words, will live throughout 

 the ages. 



Now we will weigh that passage in the light of 

 passing action and find what the result will be at this 

 far off period in worldly action, from the origin of the 

 saying. Cold and heat molding matter into different 

 forms, each endowed with the desire of personal per- 

 petuation. The perpetuation of all being weighed in 

 the law of passing action, is found to be accessory to 

 worldly perpetuation. Each acting with the means it 

 has been given by nature in transforming latent heat 

 into active heat tending to one end. That end worldly 

 perpetuation.
