Teachings of Thomas Huxley 63 



(Summit will be reached and the downward 

 route will be commenced. But I see no limit 

 to the extent to which intelligence and will, 

 guided by sound principles of investigation and 

 organized in common effort, may modify the 

 conditions of existence for a period longer than 

 that now covered by history." There is, there- 

 fore, reason enough for a broad and unselfish 

 view which depends upon industry and thrift 

 for the chief pleasures of its existence, upon 

 a knowledge of the harmony of things in the 

 universe and of its constituency in making that 

 harmony of a purer and diviner sort.
