216 THE UNIVERSE 



happiness know this ; ye can only find it in the hap- 

 piness of others, and if you desire to be happy you 

 must make others happy. This is God's eternal 

 law of compensation of altruism love to others; 

 what you do unto others you do unto yourself. 

 Look upon thy fellow man with wisdom and thou 

 shalt have love. Feel for thy fellow man with 

 love and thou shalt have wisdom, and, having 

 wisdom and love, thou hast God and heaven 

 in thy heart. These are the golden rules of the 

 New Testament, written in the reason, conscience 

 and experience of men, as God's living book of wis- 

 dom and truth. 



Every action has its rebound or echo. Others 

 will return your love or hate as the mountains re- 

 turn an echo, and by the same law. " Whatsoever 

 a man soweth, that shall he also reap." The hate 

 you send forth will return to you, the love you gave 

 will come back to you, for it is an immortal part 

 of you and a part of Omnipotent Deity. 



If you are sick, love ! If you are envied, hated 

 and slandered, love ! If age and death steal upon 

 you, love ! For God is love, and heaven is love, and 

 love is life eternal. This is God's law, this is the 

 law of man's nature, the law of the New Testament, 

 the law of love and life, the law of the universe. 



Whatever may be man's misfortune, if he has a 

 love of humanity, a love of literature, art or nature, 

 he has resources of happiness that nothing can re- 

 move. With these the poor man is rich, and the 

 rich man can never be poor. For each by love 

 has overcome the world. Therefore believe and 

 love, and hold fast to the conviction that the forces 

 of life are divine and eternal, and their laws written
