194 IMPERFECTION OF MAN'S WORK 



between man's most tasteful work and that 

 of the humble things of Nature ought to 

 impress us more than it does. It is humi- 

 liating, in a sense, that if we amplify man's 

 work its deficiencies and imperfections increase 

 with the amplifying process, but the opposite 

 occurs with Nature's works. The more we 

 enlarge the microscopic natural history object 

 the more wonderful it appears. 



The microscope and the camera used either 

 singly or as a combined instrument aid us in 

 forming some faint conception of the beauty 

 of this material world fallen as it is and 

 yet so fair and so full of the Creator's 

 wisdom. 



THE END.
