Mutual Relationship of Sun and Earth. 19 



also be that the earth and planets react. The 

 sun gives and dispenses favors, but science 

 has too much overlooked the great fact that 

 the sun receives and sympathizes. 



Let our philosophy but accept the idea that 

 the sun rouses the earth into action throiigh 

 their mutual relationships ; that the two in- 

 terchange good offices and essential services, 

 rather than that the sun is wholly independ- 

 ent, and simply gives outright, as philosophy 

 has hitherto conceived, and we think that the 

 dawn of a better day has come. 



The new philosophy, in our opinion, will 

 teach that the sun gives in such a way that 

 he will not be impoverished ; that though 

 bountiful, he is not wasteful ; that though he 

 freely gives, yet that he also as freely receives 

 in return. 



The new philosophy will be true to corre- 

 lation, and it will be true to conservation 

 as well.
