The scientist who recognizes God knows only the God of Newton. To him the God imagined by Laplace and Comte is wholly inadequate.

One is born to be a dancer. No teacher can work miracles, nor will years of training make a good dancer of an untalented pupil.

A Pavlova is no one's pupil but God's.
What you want to acquire, you should dare to acquire by any means. What you want to see, even though it is with difficulty, you should see.

The best thing is to go from nature's God dawn to nature; and if you once get to nature's God, and believe Him, and love Him, it is surprising how easy it is to hear music in the waves, and songs in the wild whisperings of the winds; to see God everywhere in the stones, in the rocks, in the rippling brooks, and hear Him everywhere, in the lowing of cattle, in the rolling of thunder, and in the fury of tempests. Get Christ first, put Him in the right place, and you will find Him to be the wisdom of God in your own experience.
