June 2d. The belief in Science as an aid to faith is not yet ripe enough
to warrant men in searching there for witnesses to the highest Christian
truths. The inspiration of Nature, it is thought, extends to the humbler
doctrines alone. And yet the reverent inquirer who guides his steps in
the right direction may find even now, in the still dim twilight of the
scientific world, much that will illuminate and intensify his sublimest
faith. Natural Law, Eternal Life, p. 204.

June 3d. Life becomes fuller and fuller, richer and richer, more and more
sensitive and responsive to an ever-widening Environment as we rise in
the chain of being. Natural Law, Eternal Life, p. 207.

June 4th. Before we reach an Eternal Life we must pass beyond that point
at which all ordinary correspondences inevitably cease. We must find an
organism so high and complex, that at some point in its development it
shall have added a correspondence which organic death is powerless to
arrest. Natural Law, Eternal Life, p. 213.

June 5th. Uninterrupted correspondence with a perfect Environment is
Eternal Life, according to Science. "This is Life Eternal," said Christ,
"that they may know Thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou
hast sent." Life Eternal is to know God. To know God is to "correspond"
with God. To correspond with God is to correspond with a Perfect
Environment. And the organism which attains to this, in the nature of
things, must live forever. Here is "eternal existence and eternal
knowledge." Natural Law, Eternal Life, p. 215.

June 6th. To find a new Environment again and cultivate relation with it
