"The bird is a captive in the air and the fish a
captive in the sea. Man alone stands apart and
says to the elements, I will make you my servants!
I can govern you! He takes electricity, and
through his ingenuity imprisons it and makes of it
a wonderful power for lighting, and a means of
communication to a distance of thousands of
miles. But man himself may become a captive to
the things he has invented. His true second birth
occurs when he is freed from all material things:
for he only is free who is not a captive to his
desires. He has then as Jesus has said, become
captive to the Holy Spirit."
