GOD IN NATURE
Sir-In replying to " Biblicus," who | apparently sees only a God of Love in Nature, I can do no better than quote from Winwood Reade’s The Martyrdom of Man. "It is when we open the Book of Nature, that book inscribed in blood and tears, it is when we study the laws regulating life, the laws productive of development, that we see plainly how illusive is this theory that God is Love. In all things there is cruel, profligate, waste. Of all the animals that are born only a few survive; and it is owing to this law that development takes place. The law of murder is the law of growth. Life is ome long tragedy; creation is one great crime."
