its fulness and power. For before words were produced by the end, the end, use to country, had no power in the world.
This may be further illustrated by the human body, in which we may see an image of creation. There is a continuous connection from the heart to the skin through the viscera, which is the intermediate. The skin, as an ultimate, holds all things interior in connection and order, for were the skin, against which the air presses, removed, the fluids of the body would pass away, and the body would be destroyed. The creative power on the plane of the body flows down through the higher things of the body into ultimates, and forms the skin as an ultimate of the physical forces. The physical forces terminate in the skin, and form a covering for the delicate organs within. If the physical forces had no power to form an ultimate, they could not form interior things, nor could they have any power on the higher planes of the body. The skin is therefore the ultimate and reactive basis from which all things within exist; and by virtue of power there, there is power in higher planes, whereby the organs perform their respective functions. Hence interior things are always terminated in and bounded by ultimates.
