HUMAN LIFE 



ology is not a science for its own sake 

 alone. It is a science eminently useful 

 and practical to man and at the same 

 time it is a science highly inspiring to 

 him. For if it be depressing, as it may 

 be to some, though it is not to me, that 

 it teaches him that man's life is close 

 brother to all the rest of life, yet it is 

 inspiring in that the same time it reveals 

 how wonderfully much has been done by 

 Nature in making man, and how now 

 man has been let into partnership with 

 Nature for making better man. We are 

 not a foreign matter or being imposed on 

 Nature but Nature's own proudest prod- 

 uct. And the power we have for further 

 and higher development is not our own 

 unaided power but that of our own and 

 Nature's in combination. It is a com- 

 bination that should have almost limitless 

 possibilities.
