To take a homely example, you have of course learned that it is not
well to put your hand into the fire, and so, though you use a good deal of
fire you keep your hands out of it. You know what the law is, and you do
not tempt it. By our long experience we have learned the operation of all
laws, and in every position in life we simply avoid putting our hand into
the fire. To be sure, we have been assisted in this by superior skill and
by our general steadiness and ripeness of character. If I read history
aright accidents were caused by ignorance or neglect of law, and I am sure
the people of the earth, when they begin to realize fully how unnecessary
they are, will soon outgrow them.
"As for sickness, you cannot understand how strange the word sounds to me.
Just think for a moment how useless, how out of place, such a thing as
sickness is. Like the subject just spoken of, it comes from disobedience
to law, and although I know we were a long time in ridding ourselves of
it, it seems to me now that it must be one of the easiest of your troubles
to remove.
