Excerpt from Among the Forces: Thou Madest Him to Have Dominion Over the Works of Thy Hands; Psalm VIII, 6
Every flower and star, rainbow and insect, was meant to be so provocative of thought that any man who never saw a human book might be largely educated. And every one of these thoughts is related to man's best prosperity and joy. He is a most regal king if he achieve the designed dominion over a thousand powerful servitors.
It is well to see that God's present actual powers in full play about us are vastly be yond all the dreams of Arabian imagination. It leads us to expect greater things of him hereafter. That human imagination could so dream is proof Of the greatness of its Cre ator. But that he has actually surpassed those dreams is prophecy of more greatness to come.

But I find the realities of to-day far greater, more useful and interesting, than the imaginations of the past. The powers at work about us are far more kindly and powerful than the Slave of the Ring or of the Lamp. The object of vriting this series of papers about applications of povers to the service of mao, their designed king, is manifold. I desire all my readers to see vhat marvelous
