Chapter VII.—Who the Instructor Is, and Respecting His Instruction. (HTML)
... all humanity. The loving God Himself is our Instructor. Somewhere in song the Holy Spirit says with regard to Him, “He provided sufficiently for the people in the wilderness. He led him about in the thirst of summer heat in a dry land, and instructed him, and kept him as the apple of His eye, as an eagle protects her nest, and shows her fond solicitude for her young, spreads abroad her wings, takes them, and bears them on her back. The Lord alone led them, and there was no strange god with them.”[Deuteronomy 32:10-12] Clearly, I trow, has the Scripture exhibited the Instructor in the account it gives of His guidance.

What then is this introduction? “In the beginning God made the heaven and the earth, and the earth was invisible, and unformed,[Deuteronomy 32:10] and darkness was upon the face of the abyss.” Do these words seem to some of you incapable of affording consolation under distress? Is it not an historical narrative, and an instruction about the creation?
