glimpses through the microscope, when we look on the glories of the
heavens, now scanned afar through the telescope, when, the blight of
sin removed, the whole earth shall appear “in the beauty of the Lord

our God,” what a field will be open to our study! There the student
of science may read the records of creation and discern no reminders
of the law of evil. He may listen to the music of nature’s voices and

[302]
which they did not have faith to grasp. Forever and forever new views
of the perfection and glory of Christ will appear. Through endless ages
will the faithful householder bring forth from his treasure things new

Christ’s Object Lessons, 134
(1900).
Then will be opened before him the course of the great conflict
that had its birth before time began, and that ends only when time
shall cease. The history of the inception of sin, of fatal falsehood in
