     Chapter 9

     Creation

     Thy throne is established of old:
     Thou art from everlasting.--Psalms.

     For we know that the whole creation groaneth
     and travaileth in pain together until now.
     And not only they, but ourselves also,
     which have the firstfruits of the Spirit,
     even we ourselves groan within ourselves,
     waiting for the adoption, to wit,
     the redemption of our body.--Paul.

   1      Eternal Truth is changing the universe. As mor-
     tals drop off their mental swaddling-clothes, thought
   3  expands into expression. "Let there be light,"

    Inadequate
    theories of
    creation

     is the perpetual demand of Truth and Love,
     changing chaos into order and discord into the
   6  music of the spheres. The mythical human theories of
     creation, anciently classified as the higher criticism, sprang
     from cultured scholars in Rome and in Greece, but they
   9  afforded no foundation for accurate views of creation by
     the divine Mind.
         Mortal man has made a covenant with his eyes to be-
  12  little Deity with human conceptions. In league

    Finite views
    of Deity

     with material sense, mortals take limited views
     of all things. That God is corporeal or material, no man
  15  should affirm.
         The human form, or physical finiteness, cannot be
     made the basis of any true idea of the infinite Godhead.
  18  Eye hath not seen Spirit, nor hath ear heard His voice.
