The beauties and sublimities of nature "point to the invisible intelligence above them."—Mrs. Eddy.

The frequency with which Christ Jesus alluded to the phenomena of nature in the illustration and enforcement of his teaching, and the explicit counsel which he gave his hearers that they think upon the birds and flowers,—these facts leave no question as to his attitude toward the gentle and beautiful things about us, nor as to what our attitude should be. His words mean more than the suggestion of a privilege; they define an obligation, and indicate a need. The beauty and beneficence of the divine Mind is to come to us not as an abstract proposition, but as a practical manifestation and appeal.
