NATURE’S PLAN.
‘‘What seems to stand out clearly is that Nature gives premier places to ci! vi t il res like birds and mammals, which are good lovers and good pnr-
cuts; which practise, all unknown to themselves, what wo call self-subor-dination and the other regarding virtues. To speak metaphorically, Nature is all for health and all for beauty; hut to that we must add that she often leans her weight in favour of warmhearted kindliness and nimble wits. To speak more .scientifically, there is a survival value, not only in positive health and the harmony of constitution, which expresses itself us beauty, out also in parental care and kinsympathy and m the clear-headedness which often goes with vigour. Thus it seems not far-fetched but true to say that there are trends in organic evolution which are in line with what man at his best has always regarded as best, Nature is not against us, but for us.” - Professor ,J. A. Thomson.
