CONTINUITY THROUGHOUT NATURE 43 



essential for the existence of the whole, and for the 

 working of its entirety. 



Amid the immensity so outlined, all anthropometric 

 methods of realisation of proportions and features become 

 utterly inadequate to cope with the vast problem, the 

 terms day and night, east, west, north, and south, and 

 the like, becoming obsolete, the dawn of day and the 

 *' light of setting suns " no longer having a meaning, 

 time itself disappearing, the one great resultant infinitude 

 embracing every variety of thing and every vicissitude 

 of change in its growing perfection and perpetuity, the 

 mind thus dimly and ultimately descrying the goal of 

 <c the supremely beatific," whither destiny is leading and 

 guiding it by those " powers of attraction " so long 

 known to and appreciated by all of "light and leading" 

 who have been earnestly treading the onward and upward 

 path of truth and knowledge. In this way we discover 

 that continuity of relationship, harmony of action and 

 interaction, and unity of purpose, become more and more 

 apparent and necessary, as synthetic methods become 

 added to those of analysis, in dovetailing, and appreciating 

 the elements of the truth as they become revealed to 

 mankind, and the plan of the universe becomes more 

 exact and definite in outline.
