SUNSHINE ON THE FARM. 385 



the messenger of the Deity, the solar beam, comes through 

 the spacious amplitudes ninety-three millions of miles to 

 illuminate, vivify and people an otherwise desolate globe ; if 

 the life-exciting forces traverse stellar distances, and belong 

 to astral systems, can we imagine even for a moment that 

 the phenomena of life are limited to our earth? Can there 

 be a question that organization is the product of a plan of 

 agencies which comprehends the physical universe, and that 

 the effect must be as universal as the cause?
