Book Description
Excerpt from The Human Condition and Outlook So, in our research, climbing up from the above named earthy basis of the vegetable and animal creations, we find the early yct rude and dim prophecy of Abatement in the Inexorable ness of Moral Law by restoration of damages done physically. The life ofthe tree is violated by a cut of the woodsman's axe, but it is not left to be the germ ofa fatal rot, for Nature supplants it with a new growth. A cut on the hand is not left to be a bleeding sore threver more, but the vis medicatrix natarre heals it. A scar is left. The hand may have scores of scars, yet it he as useful, if not as hand-some, as ever. Theswr is not a penalty for the dam age of violation; but rather the sign and seal of tbrgiveness for the injury done. And in the Divine Economy, even for mental disease and damage there is prophetic healing. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
