Among the Forces
E-text prepared by Al Haines
"Among the Forces" by Henry White Warren is a collection of essays written in the late 19th century. The work explores the natural forces and phenomena that serve humanity, emphasizing the divine underpinnings of these elements. The author invites the reader to appreciate the powerful forces of nature, ranging from sunlight to gravity, showing how they can both inspire and assist human endeavor. At the start of the text, Warren reflects on the significance of natural forces in everyday life, contrasting them with the mythical elements found in stories of ancient genies and fairies. He introduces the concept that God has designed these forces to be beneficial to humankind. Through engaging anecdotes, such as a struggling farmer who relies on the sun for rain and a lumber owner utilizing gravity to transport timber, Warren illustrates the capability and kindness of nature’s forces in simplifying human labor and enhancing prosperity. This opening segment sets a thought-provoking tone, encouraging readers to see the wonders around them as tools for dominion rather than mere background. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
