All the fables therefore of Plato guarding the truth in concealment, have not even their externally apparent apparatus discordant with our undisciplined and unperverted anticipations of divinity.
It is worthy of remark, that in choosing His disciples He chose plain men from the laboring classes, who had lived the most obediently to the simple, unperverted laws of nature. He chose men of good and pure bodies, simple, natural, childlike, healthy men, and baptized their souls with the inspiration of the Holy Spirit.
When mothers are able to send us strong, healthy girls, with simple habits and unperverted tastes, we will return to them and the world strong, healthy women, fitted, physically and mentally, for woman's work. It is continuous education, not co-education, which Dr.
I do not say that the criminal law does more good than harm. I only say that it is not enacted or administered on that theory.

What child, with an unperverted appetite, would not prefer a good ripe apple, or peach, or pear, to the most approved raw salads? and a good baked one, to the best boiled asparagus?

Will Nature teach them the mystery of a plate of turtle-soup? Will she embolden them to attack a haunch of venison?
Spiritual notions which are not grounded on scriptural truth, and directed and guarded by a close adherence to it, mislead tender hearts and warm imaginations. But while you rest on the sure unperverted foundation of the word of God, and pray for his Spirit to assist you in the use of his word, you will have little cause to dread that you shall fear him too much, or serve him too well.
Hence evil never is, cannot be, beautiful: the bad is, must be, ugly. Evil consists in the deficiency of the divine creative spirit, whose fullness gives, is, beauty. Evil is imperfection, unripeness, shapelessness, weakness in, or opposition to, the creative spirit. Evil is life that is unhealthy, short-coming. Wherever there is full, unperverted life, there is, there must be, beauty.
