"Ah! what a volume of meaning, hidden as well as apparent, does your
answer involve! How sadly out of order is the world! how little in
harmony with itself! To this every man's history is a living
attestation."
"If in the individual man we find perverted order, it cannot, of
course, be different with the aggregated man."
"No."
"The out of order means, simply, an action or force in the moral and
mental machinery of the world, in a direction opposite to the right
movement."
"Yes; that is clear."
"The right movement God gave to the mind of man at the beginning,
when he made him in the likeness and image of himself."
"Undoubtedly."
"To be in the image and likeness of God, is, of course, to have
qualities like him."
"Yes."
"Love is the essential principle of God--and love seeks the good of
another, not its own good. It is, therefore, the nature of God to
bless others out of himself; and that he might do this, he created
man. Of course, only while man continued in true order could he be
happy.
