About this listen

 MY brethren, if we at all believe that creation is the work of God; that highest wisdom, and highest power, and highest goodness, these, and not random chance, presided over its birth; we must then also, and as a necessary consequence, believe that to every creature of God’s hand a certain sphere of action was at the first assigned, in which moving, all should be well with it, for it would be fulfilling the ends of its creation; while, if it should forsake this, or he forcibly removed from it, all would then he harsh, discordant, adapting itself ill, or adapting itself not at all, to its well-being;—which indeed could not be otherwise, seeing that it would thus traverse and go counter to the purpose with which it was created. This is evidently true in that lower and natural world of animals which is beneath us. There are certain regions in which their several races can exist and multiply—in which the conditions of existence are favourable to them—in which they find the food convenient for them—in which there is a work to be done, which their structure and habits specially adapt them to fulfil—in which, according to the measure of well-being whereof they are capable, and making allowance for that “bondage of corruption” under which they lie, as well as we, it is well with them; while all this would cease if they were transplanted elsewhere, if they were placed under other skies and in other lands: for instance, if the camel among the snows of Lapland, or the reindeer in the burning sands of Arabia: they would be useless, they would be miserable,—that is, so far as that which has no reflective act is capable of misery; they would pine, and shortly perish from off the face of the earth. Now this, which in a lower sense is true of the lower creation, is true in a far higher sense of man, the crown of things, the first-fruits of God’s creatures, the sixth day’s work of His hands, the image of the Son, as the Son is the Image of the Father.
