32 TRANSACTIONS OF THE 
Epicurus married Chance to Chaos—but we know that 
this union was a sterile one! 
There are those scientists who still cling to the belief 
that some day the fruit of this union will be forthcoming 
and thus prove the stability of their reasoning. 
The student who uses his entire equipment as it is 
obvious Divine Mind intended it should be used under all 
conditions, pins his faith to the oldest of all thoughts con- 
cerning CAUSE—the spiritual—because it makes the 
strongest appeal to his reason and offers the most satis- 
faction. 
His conclusion is that an omnipresent, immutable 
spiritual law rules the Universe (NATURE) and IT 
demands obedience from the multitudes numbered in ITS 
creation. 
When this student accepts the administration of 
Nature’s laws as the wisest handling of great complexi- 
ties he is in perfect harmony with his surroundings. He 
has faith in the light that guides him and never becomes 
a discordant factor in God’s great out-of-doors. 
Man falls out of his place in evolution when he dis- 
regards this spiritual guidance. Nature unaided by 
Divine Law likewise fails. 
The student has learned also that only the fit shall 
survive. 
He would return to the lost art of teaching, that of 
discipleship. 
By this manner of direction he is compelled to believe 
that the study of nature is not confined to the commitment 
of first principles to memory; to scientific differentiation 
of a few trees and flowers and animals and insects. Rather 
is it a gradual realization of the meaning of and appre- 
ciation for one’s everyday environment. 
Nature-study does not teach a love of man-made law; 
but it does teach the Divine Law of Love!
