I’d love to hear what some of you think about this quote. It is from Charlotte Mason and is included in Volume 1 “Home Education”
As for this superior morality of some non-believers, supposing we grant it, what does it amount to? Just to this, that the universe of mind, as the universe of matter, is governed by unwritten laws of God; that the child cannot blow soap bubbles or think his flitting thoughts otherwise than in obedience to divine laws; that all safety, progress, and success in life come out of obedience to law, to the laws of mental, moral or physical science, or of that spiritual science which the Bible unfolds; that it is possible to ascertain laws and keep laws without recognising the Lawgiver, and that those who do ascertain and keep any divine law inherit the blessing due to obedience, whatever be their attitude towards the Lawgiver; just as the man who goes out into blazing sunshine is warmed, though he may shut his eyes and decline to see the sun. Conversely, that they who take no pains to study the principles which govern human action and human thought miss the blessings of obedience to certain laws, though they may inherit the better blessings which come of acknowledged relationship with the Lawgiver.
This paragraph has made me think. I have several that I wanted to discuss, but this seemed like a good place to start. 
It is true that the man who goes into the sun receives the sun’s benefits, even if he doesn’t believe. Also, one can believe without knowing the law-giver. I guess I’ve just never thought about the idea of unbelievers being blessed for their law-abiding actions. So many in the world choose to reject God because He sends unbelievers to hell. I’m guessing that Ms. Mason is referring only to earthly blessings, but I wish she could’ve expounded more. I find this a very interesting pattern of thought. I need to find some scripture to back up or refute these things…
