Стр. 68 - If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me ; Even the night shall be light about me. Yea, the . darkness hideth not from Thee ; but the night shineth As the day : the darkness and the light are both alike to thee.
Стр. 54 - He created a few original forms, capable of self-development into other and needful forms, as to believe that He required a fresh act of creation to supply the voids caused by the action of His laws.
