Reprint of the original, first published in 1883.

Excerpt from The Natural and the Supernatural: A Baccalaureate Sermon Delivered to the Graduating Class of the University of Wisconsin, June 17th, 1883 Nature taken by itself, has nothing to say, either of a beginning or an end; nothing to say about any change ez'iterior to itself by which it has been made, or can be made, better or worse; by which it can be either held back from accomplishing what is in it, or pushed forward to do what is not in it. Everything is settled, finished, provided for, and the evolution of its forces and revolution of its wheels are things to be contemplated in silent awe and wonder.
