The view we take of the animal world
below us is largely matter of proper
ton and emphasis. Nature has been pre-
sented as red in tooth and claw" and
the world has been pictured as slaugh-
ter house. But this generation more
wisely thinks of death as the servant of
life; its picture of the world has some
dark shadows, but they inevitably re-
suit from the bright light filling most of
the space with good cheer. Death is a
brief episode, while life is marked by keen
appetite and constant qualification;
Thou satisfieth the desire of every liv-
ing thing" No one estimates rightly
the nature or thought of the Creator
who does not see forever issuing from the
primeval fountains of conscious existence
innumerable streams of endlessly varied
delight. The call of Nature to its
creatures is Enter into JOY"
So it is with the natural life of man.
The infant is as naturally playful as the
lamb or kitten. As surely as
growth in size and strength comes
without effort, so does growth in hap
piness come as we pass from childhood
to youth and manhood. New powers
are unfolding within us, new doors of en-
ticing opportunity opening about us.
Youths most natural badge is bright
expectancy that ever says To-day is
good, and tomorrow will be- better"
