Fabre's Writings 



the naturalist's philosophical and religious 

 ideas by a synthetic view which brings him 

 into closer communion with his hero : " all 

 things are linked together," as he himself 

 has said, 1 and the study of the Holy Scrip- 

 tures, if he could have devoted himself 

 thereto, would certainly have led this noble 

 and penetrating mind to render the same tes- 

 timony to the truth of Christ and the Church 

 as that which it has rendered to the truth of 

 the soul and God.
