Creatures Contemplated in God. . . . . . . . . . . . . A Review in Dominicana Journal, June 1929: The Creator Operating in The Creature is a work whose professed purpose is to bring to us a clearer knowledge of God and His works. *Man is created to know and love God. This is childhood's first lesson. In it is summed up human life. We live in time to attain the bliss of eternity. This, Our Lord tells us, is for wayfarers of earth, 'to know the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom He has sent (John, xvii,3). For to know God rightly is to love Him. *The author, who is Emeritus Professor of ethics in the University of Santa Clara, has partly accomplished what he set out to do, namely, to make us know God and His operations in creatures. He touches on many things that cannot be completely and definitely solved by natural reason since God would no longer be God if the finite mind of man could completely understand Him. The chapters follow one another in logical order starting from some preliminary notions of actuality and potentiality and proceeding through a consideration of things in the natural order to those of the supernatural order. In explaining *Providence in Prevision* the author makes use of the *middle science* theory and this with its necessary consequences follows through into the next chapter where he deals with *Providence in Execution.* His method of treating miracles attracts one's attention and holds it from the very beginning. The treatise on man as an individual is followed by a consideration of man as a member of society, the operation of the *Creator in Society.* Here the author exposes the various theories on the origin of the State, the Social Contract Theories of Hobbes, Rousseau, etc., and refutes them with the Catholic doctrine as deduced from the Summa Theologica and the Summa Contra Gentiles of St. Thomas. Father Woods next proposes for our study man elevated to the supernatural state and in this he brings forth such topics as sanctifying grace, actual grace, the sacraments, and justification. The last chapter *Creatures in God* explains mysticism in a popular style. The mechanics of the book are simple enough but very interesting. Each chapter is introduced by quotations, mainly from the Summa Theologica and the Summa Contra Gentiles. Quotations from the other works of the Master would have added much weight to different subjects as for instance from De regimine principum in the chapter on the State. The author builds upon solid foundation when he uses the Angelic Doctor but as an eminent Thomist, Antoine Massoulie, has said * Divus Thomas sui interpres * In some chapters he starts with the principles laid down by St. Thomas and in others he uses the quotations from St. Thomas as arguments from authority. The book is very well written and worthy of the reader's closest attention. The matter treated is most profound and the method is clear with numerous exan1ples drawn from life to bring out the doctrine. — J. I. R. (Dominicana Journal: Vol. 14 No. 2, June 1929).…
