phenomena in the plant and animal are now thrown down. Thus 
community throughout the great ocean of life is seen to outweigh 
apparent dissimilarity. Diversity is swallowed up in unity.

or lessened? Is our sense of wonder diminished when we realize in 
the infinite expanse of life that is silent and voiceless the foreshadow- 
ings of more wonderful complexities? Is it not rather that science 
evokes in us a deeper sense of awe? Does not each of her new 
advances gain for us a step in that stairway of rock which all must 
climb who desire to look from the mountain tops of the spirit upon 
the promised land of truth ?
