Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Homely Thoughts on How Science Has Discovered the Four Square City of God
The thought kept in view in this pamphlet is that Science, as a means of gaining true knowledge, by the inductive method, has entered the field of universal thought and is claiming the attention of thought ful men, asking them to turn aside from the strife of tongues on every side, and to seek after, and cherish, a higher form of Wisdom than that of this world. Science is suggesting that the time has arrived' when it is possible to get a clearer conception of the Divine Order that operates through out the universe and that men ought to be setting themselves strenuously to attain to the knowledge that will give them the mastery over Nature; that will reveal to them the greatness of Man; that will bring about freedom and peace among Men; and, will bring to an end the long estrangement existing between Heaven and Earth. The success of Science in the physical world 15 well known; this world has been surveyed, and defined; the light of truth is shining everywhere; and those who wish to enter this land, and enjoy its fruits, will find few difficulties in their way, if they earnestly desire to gain true knowledge. In the psychical world there is much darkness and ignorance; it is felt that even those who have ventured furthest into this world of mystery, have not achieved clearly defined results. To be able to assert that there is a way into this land, and that pathways have been marked out is encouraging. It ought not to be forgotten that this world of thought is reached by the way of reflection and of refraction; it is through the physical world that the psychical receives and disperses light.
