Sense Of Significance Of all Life
Grows.

Sense Of Significance Of all Life
Grows.
If we have any belief at all in a diff
ference Of moral faculty between our
selves and the animals, we must reeOg-
nize that we are, so far as our powers
over nature will permit, oyerseers Of
other forms Of life upon the earth, not
merely for our own advantage, but for
the good Of the universe. We cannot
deny that the struggle for life exists,
and that We must take part in it and do
our best to destroy those forms Of life
which are hostile to ourselves. We can
not go so farsin respect for life as to
found society for the prevention Of
cruelty to bacilli But at the same time
our respect for life is a sign Of our
triumph, however imperfect, over the
struggle for life; and the greater this
respect becomes the more we are men
conscious OF the promise and significance
of al life and the less we are beasts
involved in the blind waste Of nature.
Very slowly and imperfectly this
sense Of the promise and significance Of
al life grows in us. It is not only an
Intellectual but rather a religious and
emotional idea. II appears first in men
like st. Francis, with a prophetic sense
OF a nobler state Of being Prom them
IL Is communicated by the beauty Of
the example rather than by argument,
to other men; and perhaps when il has
become matter Of course in all civilized
human beings we shall find that il is Of
practical value and il viii attain to
scientific justification. -Loudon Times.
