that which has existed, in one form or
another, eternally--all of which is a revelation, divine, but not
miraculous.

A few centuries ago Copernicus gave us a new view of the universe.
This was revelation. But the universe had existed in exactly the same
form and relations since "the morning stars sang together." A little
later Newton revealed to us the law of gravitation. This was the first
man ever knew of it. But the law had existed just the same since the
chaos was first reduced to cosmos. The potential power of steam as a
mechanical force was just as great in the days of Noah or Abraham as it
is today. But it remained for Robert Fulton, but a little over a
century ago, to apply it to practical use; and this was just as much a
divine revelation as the call of Abraham, or the vision of Moses on the
Mount. The same is true of electricity. All the multifarious uses to
which it has ever been applied, were just as potent in the days of
Shalmanezer or Solomon as they are today. Every discovery and new use
to which it has been applied since the day that Franklin drew it from
the clouds and corked it up in a bottle, has only been so many new
divine revelations; as much so as the vision of Paul before the gate of
Damascus, or John on the Isle of Patmos. In fact more so.

And on _ad infinitum_. All the progress man has ever made or ever will
make is only the result of this divine revelation ever unfolding itself
to him, just as fast, and no faster than he is able to appropriate and
use it. Thus God reveals himself to man, not miraculously, but
naturally and _thru nature itself_, just in proportion to man's ability
to understand, receive and appropriate it. Jesus is quoted as saying:
"I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
Howbeit when he, the spirit of truth, is come, he shall guide you into
all the truth." Did that spirit of truth ever come? And if so when,
if ever, was it withdrawn? He said in another place that it should
remain forever. Yes, I believe that same spirit of truth is still in
the world today and has been ever since man has been here, guiding men
into the way of truth just in proportion to their ability to receive
it. And also, all truth is divine, because all truth comes from the
same source--God. The truth concerning the universe, the laws of
nature in the material world are thus just as divine, as are the moral
laws governing man in his social relations, or
