278 THE UNIVERSE 



similar to man. And the great planets, and great 

 suns, like Sirius, Alpha Lyra, Vega and Alcyone, 

 which are a thousand times larger than our sun, 

 should possess beings of greater intellectual and 

 spiritual faculties than our earth in proportion to 

 their superior grandeur and power. 



Thus the infinite wisdom and power of Creative 

 Deity, and the laws and creations He has evolved 

 on this earth, teach us that in other worlds and suns 

 He has created other and numerous types of intelli- 

 gent beings; and that living organic creatures of 

 His bounty in all suns and spheres honor and adore 

 His infinite goodness, power and love. 



His suns and worlds are countless as the stars- 

 His jeweled finger-prints. Through chequered bars 

 Of light and shade all life is shadow of His breath 

 An uttered thought. And law and change and death 

 His angel messengers. His spirit truth 

 Preserves the universe in fadeless youth. 



The palpable Infinite! who can know? 



Mind from a mustard seed to world, must grow. 



The past, the emblems of His power hath wrought 



Whose thought created first creating thought, 



And veiled in mists above Olympian throne 



We know the unknown God is God alone.
