The Unity Of Life.

There is nothing. think. that
brings home to one more conclusively
the unity OF life. and therefore the
unity OF knowledge Of that life. than
the attempt to study any particular
subject by itself and conflne yourself
TO 1t alone. You find very soon that
you cannot do so. No aspect of life
can be separated from the rest and
understood even in any small degree
without some knowledge Of the rest
of life. No part OF life stands alone.
Every phenomenon OF life is the re
suit, not OF one or two causes alone,
but OF the interaction of innumerable
causes. To get near the understand
ing OF only one item you must be able
to estimate more or less truly all the
forces that make life. and the objee.
tive OF life. AS with the eddy Of a
river. to estimate II you must know
not merely the eddy. but much also
OF the river. its volume and its speed.
the density Of its waters. the configu-
ration OF its banks and its general
direction The observation OF the
eddy only would lead you into the
widest fallacies.-The Atlantic.
