20 Life and Love. 



" Even at this low level," says one inspired 

 scientist, " only through the fire of love can the 

 phcenix of the species renew its youth." 



Love preserves the universe of life, and to many 

 the thought has come, May not love be but 

 another manifestation of the same infinite power 

 which preserves the earth itself in its place, and 

 all the members of the starry host in their places? 



For this is the nature of love, — to draw to 

 itself the beloved object. 



To the finite mind it may seem a long way from 

 the amoeba to the stars ; but to the infinite mind, 

 it may well be but a single step.
