...Edward Everett Hale preached last night in Appleton Chapel from two texts taken from the nineteenth Psalm: "The heavens declare the glory of God," and "The law of the Lord is perfect, converting the soul." In the middle of this psalm there is a sudden change-the first part tells how all God's works in the heavens and on earth praise Him, while the second shows the relation of God to man. Here, as in many others of the more beautiful psalms, are connected together the infinite and the finite; the infinite works of God and the finite nature...

Important as morality is, it would be of no avail without accompanying spirituality. As I have said, the one may exist without the other; but the essential of religion is the conviction of the existence of God in unity with man. Would you seek proofs of this, look to creation. The sun in his glorious course, the moon as she shines peacefully in the heavens at night, the roar of the sea, the growl of thunder and the flaring of lightning,- all are manifestations of God's presence. In early times my forefathers had no cathedral but the earth...
