DAILY DOINGS 



edge where the father stopped? I presume that in 

 a large way each generation does begin on a higher 

 level of knowledge; certainly the child of the present is 

 familiar in everyday life with phenomena which would 

 have been called witchcraft and magic in the olden 

 time. Now that we have learned to utilize the waves 

 of ether for carrying our messages, nothing seems too 

 wonderful to believe. Let us not forget in this great 

 era of mechanical inventions, that it is Nature that 

 has been the chief teacher, and that she still holds 

 precious secrets for the future man. 



But if she jealously guards her deeper thoughts and 

 hedges the path thereto with endless difficulties, she 

 spreads a feast of delight to the casual intelligence 

 and fills his restless spirit with her blessed balm of 

 peace. 



There are no marvelous events to chronicle in our 

 simple country life, but it is astonishing how full the 

 days are and how rapidly they pass. A glance at the 

 line-a-day book brings more forcibly to my mind our 

 daily doings.
