DinOSaur to Mouse
There Are Greater Contrasts

strange and powerful huge and tiny complicated ways in
which natures force has worked at the great earth problem
That problem is to find the right kind Of creature 70
develop and rule this earth
AS this little planet is the brother planet to gigantic
Jupiter as sum- million times the size Of this earth,
q the little brother of another sun billion times bigger
than our sun, so the tiny In this picture Is the
brother Of the huge dnosaw. Both are children Of the
And the ape man at one end of the dnosaur has in his
thick skull back Of his low forehead, spark OF planning
intelligence that finds its brother In the brain Of the more
highly developed at the other end Of the dlnosau
Through millions and millions of years this develop
At frst life took form invisible to the naked eye
By the accumulation Of endless billions Of single cells
through the process Of evolution, the huge dnosau too
Every kind Of creature natures force made and tried
Let them pass before the eye Of your mind.

The thought as you look at this picture dinosaur and
tiny rodent, ape man and civilized being is this:
The marvellous changes that have gone before during
millions Of years are to. be followed by changes
marvellous in the millions of years that are to come
We know that our planet, warmed by the sun and
balanced by It's power will travel through endless space for
hundreds Of millions Of years to come and that there viii

Distant the sun heat and the earths heat win die away
Our planet and solar system viii die individuals

future unknown destiny, does the life Of the individual

infant
What win the changes Of the future be? Some slight
but not important changes in bodily form There viii be

REAL MAN within the skull
great English naturalist said "Ths difference
between highly developed civilized and low savage
is greater than the difference between that savage and the
blade Of grass and he told the truth.
The greatest differences in natures building are not
those that you this picture The difference between
and dinosar is not great that between an
ordinary human being and Shakespeare.
And the difference between Shakespeare or Michael
Angelo and the blade Of grass is not great will be the
difference between those reat men, of savage period
and the really great that will in the millions of
years that lie ahead of US

universe, Of the power that controls all things.
The newborn infant talk to or learn from those
that bend its cradle. This newborn planet cannot
talk to the other worlds or learn from it.
But it will not be so always. The coming race that
