"For example a well-equipped pharmacy with life-giving potions and cures in every jar weighed out in precise and wondrous measures doubtless shows an extremely skilful practiced and wise pharmacist. In the same way to the extent that it is bigger and more perfect and better equipped than the pharmacy in the market-place the pharmacy of the globe of the earth with its living potions and medicaments in the jars which are the four hundred thousand species of plants and animals shows and makes known to eyes that are blind even - by means of the measure or scale of the science of medicine that you study - the All-Wise One of Glory. Who is the Pharmacist of the mighty pharmacy of the earth.

"To take another example a wondrous factory which weaves thousands of sorts of cloth from a simple material doubtless makes known a manufacturer and skilful mechanic. In the same way to whatever extent it is larger and more perfect than the human factory this travelling Dominical machine known as the globe of the earth with its hundreds of thousands of heads in each of which are hundreds of thousands of factories shows and makes known - by means of the measure or scale of the science of engineering which you study - its Manufacturer and Owner.

"And for example a depot store or shop in which has been brought together and stored up in regular and orderly fashion a thousand and one varieties of provisions undoubtedly makes known a wondrous owner proprietor and overseer of provisions and foodstuffs. In just the same way to whatever degree it is vaster and more perfect than such a store or factory this grocery of the Most Merciful One known as the globe of the earth this Divine ship this Dominical depot and shop holding goods equipment and conserved food which in one year travels regularly an orbit of twenty-four thousand years and carrying groups of beings requiring different foods and passing through the seasons on its journey and filling the spring with thousands of different provisions like a huge wagon brings them to the wretched animate creatures whose sustenance has been exhausted in winter. - by means of the measure or scale of the science of economics which you study - this depot of the earth makes known and makes loved its Manager. Organizer and Owner.

"And for example let us imagine an army which consists of four hundred thousand nations and each nation requires different provisions uses different weapons wears different uniforms undergoes different drill and is discharged from its duties differently. If this army and camp has a miracle-working commander who on his own provides all those different nations with all their different provisions weapons uniforms and equipment without forgetting or confusing any of them then surely the army and camp show the commander and make him loved appreciatively. In just the same way the spring camp of the face of the earth in which every spring a newly recruited Divine army of the four hundred thousand species of plants and animals are given their varying uniforms rations weapons training and demobilizations in utterly perfect and regular fashion by a single Commander-in-Chief Who forgets or confuses not one of them - to whatever extent the spring camp of the face of the earth is vaster and more perfect than that human army. - by means of the measure or scale of the military science that you study - it makes known to the attentive and sensible its Ruler. Sustainer. Administrator and Most Holy Commander causing wonderment and acclaim and makes Him loved and praised and glorified

"Another example: millions of electric lights that move and travel through a wondrous city their fuel and power source never being exhausted self-evidently make known a wonder-working craftsman and extraordinarily talented electrician who manages the electricity makes the moving lamps sets up the power source and brings the fuel; they cause others to congratulate and applaud him and to love him. In just the same way although some of the lamps of the stars in the roof of the palace of the world in the city of the universe - if they are considered in the way that astronomy says - are a thousand times larger than the earth and move seventy times faster than a cannon ball they do not spoil their order nor collide with one another nor become extinguished nor is their fuel exhausted. According to astronomy which you study for our sun to continue burning which is a million times larger than the earth and a million times older and is a lamp and stove in a guest-house of the Most Merciful One as much oil as the seas of the earth and as much coal as its mountains or as much logs and wood as ten earths are necessary for it not to be extinguished. And however much greater and more perfect than this example are the electric lamps of the palace of the world in the majestic city of the universe which point with their fingers of light to an infinite power and sovereignty which illuminates the sun and other lofty stars like it without oil wood or coal not allowing them to be extinguished or to collide with one another though travelling together at speed to that degree - by means of the measure of the science of electricity which you either study or will study - they testify to and make known the Monarch. Illuminator. Director and Maker of the mighty exhibition of the universe; they make Him loved glorified and worshipped.

"Thus hundreds of other sciences like these make known the Glorious Creator of the universe together with His Names each through its broad measure or scale its particular mirror its far-seeing eyes and searching gaze; they make known His attributes and perfections.

I said this to the schoolboys and they accepted it completely affirming it by saying: "Endless thanks be to God for we have received an absolutely true and sacred lesson. May God be pleased with you!" And I said:

"Man is a living machine who is grieved with thousands of different sorrows and receives pleasure in thousands of different ways and despite his utter impotence has innumerable enemies physical and spiritual and despite his infinite poverty has countless needs external and inner and is a wretched creature continuously receiving the blows of death and separation. And yet through belief and worship he suddenly becomes connected to a Monarch so Glorious that he finds a point of support against all his enemies and a source of help for all his needs and like everyone takes pride at the honor and rank of the Lord to whom he is attached you can compare for yourselves how pleased and grateful and thankful and full of pride man becomes at being connected through belief to an infinitely Powerful and Compassionate Monarch at entering His service through worship and transforming for himself the announcement of the execution of the appointed hour into papers releasing him from duty."
