Excerpt from Christ and the People

He who has studied the various phenomena of nature, read the history of the past carefully, and thought on both deeply needs not to be told that progressive change is the law of the universe. He sees it and feels it. It is the jewel of the hope of humanity. Thank God there is no such thing either in the physical or spiritual world as retrogression.

To the superficial observer, indeed, such might seem to be the case, but it is not so, and cannot be. The infinite perfection of Deity forbids it. It is true that Nature reveals in her mighty and mysterious workings something that looks like retrogression in the physical world.
