30 TRANSACTIONS OF THE 
thought that these manifest life but they do not exhibit 
their activities to his objective mind. 
He becomes an animated question-mark. The 
“When?” and the “Where?” and the “Why?” press him 
for explanation. These interrogatories are answerable. 
The unvarying harmony that reigns in undisturbed 
Nature impresses him mightily. He is set at ease by its 
wondrous music ONLY when the natural balance is 
maintained upon the earth. Obviously such a balance 
exists by design and rules always when wild-life is left 
to the administration of its own affairs. 
Long continued investigation compels the student

destroyer of this balance. Why? Because he breaks 
his own laws and disregards all Divine Laws, of which

creatures multiply so rapidly, eat so voraciously, and des- 
troy so extensively that even man and his vaunted power

All animal life depends upon the products of the 
earth for its sustenance. There is nothing but wild bird-

with his herds and the insect hosts that prey upon his 
crops. 
This thought teaches the student that the real 
munition plant is the earth and that food is the only 
munition with which mankind may fight all battles to 
successful issue. 
He recognizes the obvious value of everything in 
creation. That each product is not only for his use but
