... | {{Style S-Small capitals|Pore}} tells the skeptic of the Divine government to call imperfection, what he fancies such, because Nature gives “here a little, there too much,”—making light of the unequalities of life and the common-place complaints of ignorant men and women; but the following reflections of O. W. Wright suggest the true purposes of Nature and the real method of Evolving Life. He is writing of the birth of Abelard, and says,—“There, nature made an effort once more to produce a man. Millions of efforts she makes, but in every instance she fails as well as succeeds. A perfect man she never produces, and, therefore, always fails. She never tads in making a good attempt, and, therefore, always succeeds. The perfect or ideal man, the standard of which nature in every instance comes short, is the type of the unity of the soul, while nature's failure in different degrees produces variety in unity. Her method is simple, her operations arc manifold. She proceeds in everything else as she does with man. She is infinitely economic, and at the same time infinitely prodigal. The child Abelard had one meaning for his parents, another for the world, and another for Deity. His history was, no doubt, already written in the quality of his infant blood, and the structure of his infant brain... to be coined into real acts in the mint of life. His good and his evil deeds will interpret for us ours, and make us wiser and better''.''”—''Abelard and Heloise.'' | ||
