A contribution to Mormon philosophy. This book is written with the conviction there is no difference between science and religion. The fundamental laws of the universe are foundations in both science and religion. The principle that matter is indestructible belongs as much to theology as to geology. This volume is not a complete discussion of Mormon philosophy, it is simply a small contribution to the subject and is written on behalf of Mormonism everywhere.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
