The magic wand is waved by dame nature
herself. With in6niteness of resource,
she adapts things to their necessities in
all climes and ages of time This weird
land is only exceptional in the incidental
only another illustration of the great Law
of absolute unity in non-essential diversity.
As we write, the clouds of the future lift,
and we see these now brown and arid hills,
covered with garden and vineyard from
base to summit. Teeming millions where
now scattered hunoreds are found. And
corresponding to this growth in ex-extern-
al nature, we see the human world bound
togethfr in the unity of wisdom and love,
resulting in that unity or effo which
easily secures the grandest results. Dark
valleys of passin. years, however, lie be,
tween US and the golden light of those
sunny years of the age to come. 1t can
not SO cast the horoscope of time as to
count the number Of the passing genera
tions before the kingd m Of heaven come
on earth. The present wave of human
life will have dashed itself on the shore of
eternity followed by many others, ere the
sun of wisdom shines in full effulgence on
the earth s
