Editorial note — LESSON I.
Reading edition
[Footnote A: Doc. and Cov., Sec. xciii:33-35.]
[Footnote B: The Universe: It may be well to bring before the mind of the student a brief definition of this term "universe," in which we are saying that God is immanent, in order that we may appreciate somewhat at least the largeness of things with which we are dealing. I take the definition from Haeckel:
"(a) The extent of the universe is infinite and unbounded; it is empty in no part, but everywhere filled with substance.
"(b) The duration of the world (i. e. Universe) is equally infinite and unbounded; it has no end; it is eternity." (Riddle of the Universe, p. 242.) And in this infinite and eternal universe, God, in some way, is everywhere present and potentially or actually active—immanent.]
