There is nothing which Nature so clearly reveals, and upon which science so strongly insists, as the universal reign of law, absolute, universal, invariable law. . . Not one jot or tittle of the laws of Nature are unfulfilled. I do not believe it is possible to state this fact too strongly. . . Everything happens according to law, and, since law is the expression of Divine will, everything happens according to Divine will, i. e. is in some sense ordained, decreed.
No jot, iota, or tittle of the temple rites is otherwise than uplifting and sanctifying. In every detail the endowment ceremony contributes to covenants of morality of life, consecration of person to high ideals, devotion to truth, patriotism to nation, and allegiance to God.
