Excerpt from Nature and the Supernatural: As Together Constituting the One System of God Tm: treatise here presented to the public was written, as regards the matter of it, some years ago. It has been ready for the press more than two years, and has been kept back, by the limitations I am under, which have forbidden my assuming the small additional care of its publication.

Excerpt from The Supernatural Christianity is the masterpiece of God, the paramount moral and spiritual design, and the crowning glory of the Infinite and Eternal Creator and Maker of all things. Christianity in its essential unity and central energy is supernatural; it is that, or it is a stupendous fraud. The Christian religion, peculiarly separate from other religions, is a system distinguished and dominated by the supernatural, or it is at once an insidious and vexa tious delusion. It deals with God and moral responsi bility, and with the life and souls and destiny of men. It is an orderly arrangement; and a firm, wisely designed compact of supernaturalism as clearly opposed to natur alism and humanism in the Spiritual domain. Its solid facts, its indisputable relations, its sure doctrines given of God, constitute a supernatural fabric of strength and beauty; and its inner life is a supernatural light, a superhuman flame. Otherwise its advocates are impos tors, and its teachers and propagators are weaklings, grossly deceived or deliberate deceivers. There is no middle ground. It is not a case of half-true, half-false. It is God's gift to man, or it is a gigantic falsehood. Its structure and essence are clear to the honest, open vision. Its principles are fixed in the moral and spiritual constitution of the eternal God, and its nature, aim and energies have been demonstrated tens of thousands of times in the relations of God and men.

Excerpt from The Natural and the Supernatural: A Baccalaureate Sermon Delivered to the Graduating Class of the University of Wisconsin, June 17th, 1883 Nature taken by itself, has nothing to say, either of a beginning or an end; nothing to say about any change ez'iterior to itself by which it has been made, or can be made, better or worse; by which it can be either held back from accomplishing what is in it, or pushed forward to do what is not in it. Everything is settled, finished, provided for, and the evolution of its forces and revolution of its wheels are things to be contemplated in silent awe and wonder.
