HUMAN REASON BOOK OF GOD 195 



The Bible is God's book, but so is the physical 

 universe His book and the revelation of His will. 

 The Scriptures affirm this truth, also, when they say, 

 "The heavens declare the glory of God and the 

 firmament showeth His handiwork. Day unto day 

 uttereth speech and night unto night showeth knowl- 

 edge." Thus God has three books instead of one. 

 His first book was the physical universe, His second 

 book was man and human reason, conscience and 

 experience. And then He added the third, the or- 

 acles of Divine truth, to instruct His spiritual atom, 

 man, in the essential truths of life, spiritual being and 

 moral perfection. The theologians should remember 

 this, and the scientists should read and study all 

 these books. 



Man is a second edition of God epitomized, and in 

 hisenlighted spiritual nature he thinks like God, reas- 

 ons like God, and has the moral conscience, goodness 

 and love that emanate from God. All these books 

 of God should bear the same infallible testimony. 

 The Bible should be in accord with the reason, con- 

 science and experience of man, and both with the 

 constitution and laws of the physical universe. 

 Wherever they seem to differ or contradict each 

 other it is because we do not understand them, 

 for there is perfect unity and harmony in all creation. 



Flammarion says : "Science in revealing the plan 

 of the universe will show that the moral universe 

 is based upon the same plan, that both worlds form 

 but one world and that spirit governs matter. The 

 same laws rule everywhere and make the vast uni- 

 verse a unity. All the ages of the past and future 

 are one with the present, and thinking beings will 

 live eternally through successive and progressive
