"All nature voices this thought. Def

There are no idlers in the material realm
nothing loses itself in the general mass;
there is neither plant, nor spray of mist,
nor fiber, for which there is no office
Every creature is fitted to be, and is

stupendous workshop of the Almighty.
otherwise our individuality is mean
irgless, personality is no gain, but a
waste of creative energy. With this idea
behind it, distinctness of being is a
stride toward grandeur of being. The
Creator could not bring purposeless be-
ings into existence without contradict
ing himself. He is not a maker of toys,
nor does he delight in trifies, though he
shapes atoms and animalculae. Whether
in the atomic or in the gigantic, nothing
goes from his hand except on an errand,
nor strays except to keep some trust
