But if it be said "God is all things," here we understand individuality with all its limitations, its finity, its passing existence.

The afternoon wore on, and with the awe, born of the White Silence, the voiceless travelers bent to their work. Nature has many tricks wherewith she convinces man of his finity the ceaseless flow of the tides, the fury of the storm, the shock of the earthquake, the long roll of heaven's artillery but the most tremendous, the most stupefying of all, is the passive phase of the White Silence.
All the time-honored positions of Atheism man's finity and nature's infinity, the relativity of human knowledge, the reign of law, and so forth are quietly monopolised by this intruder, who looks upon the object he has despoiled as the Christian looked upon the Jew after borrowing his God.
It is rather stretching the human capabilities, to understand the relations between a pure spirit and material beings between finity and infinity between eternal beings and those which are transitory: thus it is, that metaphysics hold forth an inconceivable being by the very attributes with which they clothe him; for either he has these attributes, or he has them not: whether he has them or has them not, man can only understand them after his own powers of comprehension.
He was calm in the conviction that he could measure and calculate the universe, and draw its plan in his commonplace book. God was his elder brother, himself in some distant but attainable condition. He matched finity against the Infinite, and thereby cast away man's dearest hope, that of eternal progress towards the image of Divine perfection.
Neither will he be able, under any circumstances, to make a finite mind comprehend infinity; much less when he shall represent this infinity as bounded by finity itself.
A Rational Free Agent, raised by the infinitude of his nature above the possibility of temptation. He is the only Holy Being. 2d. Finite creatures who are Rational Free Agents, but exposed by the finity of their natures to continual temptations. These beings are either Virtuous or Vicious. 3d. Finite creatures who are not rational nor morally free.
