Excerpt from God's Glory in the Heavens Thou visitest him' This the student of astronomy learns to say with a profounder and more intelligent humility than any other person can. And, on the other hand, he too, I think, is likely to recognize more fully than other men the high dignity of our human nature, made in the image of God and partaking of the divine; able in amost real sense to comprehend the whole material universe, to share the thoughts of God, and to think them after Him.
