finds not, but feels would be the full
fillment and satisfaction of life. He
fears in the depths of his soul a call
coming from the infinite, commanding
him to adjust himself to an order of
being which is eternal. He is endowed
with capacities which enable him to
correlate himself with all reality, Wis
ible and invisible. Emerson exclaims:
20, rich and various man! Thy pal
ace of sight and sound, carrying in
thy senses the morning and the night
and the unfathomable galaxy; in thy
brain the geometry of the city of God ;
in thy heart the power of love and
the realms of right and wrong"
But notwithstanding these capaci-
ties, how poor and limited is his life
in fact. He evidently was intended to
be brought into full, free. happy corr
respondence with all reality. But who
that looks upon his actual state can
fail to see that he has failed in large
measure of his glorious attainment?
The fact which has most imperative
ly arrested the attention of every man
who has turned a thoughtful eye upon
our nature is the wide gap between
capacity and fuIfillment, the vast mar
gin of the unrealized i'm man. The dis
parity between the potential and the
actual is not, of course, the same i'm
titude yet attained by man and the
summit of his possibilities there is a
far longer distance than he has yet
ascended in his upward progress
What is man that thou art mindful of
him and the son of man that thou
visitest him ?" SO questions the psalm
list. But in the same breath he eX-
claims "Thou hast made him little
lower than the angels. Thou hast
crowned him with glory and honor. -
But if we are yet imperfectly ad-
justed to nature and our natural life
is consequently poor and precarious,
how much more tremendous is our
mal-adjustment to the spiritual world.
We know more of nature than we
know of that invisible and infinite
Being whose flowing garment nature
is, and who is the very life of life. We
have a better knowledge and a better
command of those forces which touch
our bodies to their well-being or un-
doing, than we have of those forces
which act directly upon our spirits and
react upon the very centers of life and
character and destiny. We are more
