A NOBLE OPENING 99 



guinea fowl are examples, and perhaps within another 

 generation we may be able to add the zebra. And 

 there may be many other animals fitted to enrich 

 and adorn human life which would make no insuper- 

 able resistance to domestication if wisely and 

 patiently handled. Here is a noble opening for 

 carrying out in its kindest sense the command, 

 "Multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: 

 and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over 

 the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that 

 moveth upon the face of the earth."
