A heap of soot reflects a little, a stone reflects more, a piece of chalk more still, but in none of these reflections can we trace the form and color of the glorious orb.

A perfect mirror, however, reflects the sun's very form and color, so that looking into it is like looking at the sun itself.

So it is with the way in which things speak to us of God.

The stone can tell us something of the Divine attributes, the flower can tell us more, the animal with its marvelous senses, instincts and power of movement, more still.

In the lowest of our fellowmen we can trace wonderful faculties which tell of a wonderful Creator.
