True idealism is a divine Science, which combines in [1]

logical sequence, nature, reason, and revelation. An

effect without a cause is inconceivable; neither philoso-

phy nor reason attempts to find one; but all should con-

ceive and understand that Spirit cannot become less than [5]

Spirit; hence that the universe of God is spiritual,—even

the ideal world whose cause is the self-created Principle,

with which its ideal or phenomenon must correspond in

quality and quantity.
