April 1st.  We do not picture the possessor of this carnal mind as in any sense a monster.  We have said he may be high-toned, virtuous, and pure.  The plant is not a monster because it is dead to the voice of the bird; nor is he a monster who is dead to the voice of God.  The contention at present simply is that he is dead.  Natural Law, Death, p. 159.

April 2d.  What is the creed of the Agnostic, but the confession of the spiritual numbness of humanity?  Natural Law, Death, p. 160.

April 3d.  The nescience of the Agnostic philosophy is the proof from experience that to be carnally minded is Death.  Natural Law, p. 161.

April 4th.  The Christian apologist never further misses the mark than when he refuses the testimony of the Agnostic to himself.  When the Agnostic tells me he is blind and deaf, dumb, torpid, and dead to the spiritual world, I must believe him.  Jesus tells me that.  Paul tells me that.  Science tells me that.  He knows nothing of this outermost circle; and we are compelled to trust his sincerity as readily when he deplores it as if, being a man without an ear, he professed to know nothing of a musical world, or being without taste, of a world of art.  Natural Law, Death, p. 160.

April 5th.  It brings no solace to the unspiritual man to be told he is mistaken.  To say he is self-deceived is neither to compliment him nor Christianity.  He builds in all sincerity who raises his altar to the unknown God.  He does not know God.  With all his marvellous and complex correspondences, he is still one correspondence short.  Natural Law, Death, p. 161.

April 6th.  Only one thing truly need the Christian envy, the large, rich, generous soul which “envieth not.”  The Greatest Thing in the World.

April 7th.  Whenever you attempt a good work you will find other men doing the same kind of work, and probably doing it better.  Envy them not.  The Greatest Thing in the World.

April 8th.  I say that man believes in a God, who feels himself in the presence of a Power which is not himself, and is immeasurably above himself, a Power in the contemplation of which he is absorbed, in the knowledge of which he finds safety and happiness.  Natural Law, Death, p. 162.

April 9th.  What men deny is not a God.  It is the correspondence.  The very confession of the Unknowable is itself the dull recognition of an Environment beyond themselves, and for which they feel they lack the correspondence.  It is this want that makes their God the Unknown God.  And it is this that makes them dead.  Natural Law, Death, p. 163.

April 10th.  God is not confined to the outermost circle of environment, He lives and moves and has His being in the whole.  Those who only seek Him in the further zone can only find a part.  The Christian who knows not God in Nature, who does not, that is to say, correspond with the whole environment, most certainly is partially dead.  Natural Law, Death, p. 163.
