THE JUNGLE.
All around us is the jungle awaiting to come in. If all the people in a community were destroyed, it would not be long before the wild beasts invaded it. Civilisation always triumphs by the organisation of human society. Barbarous men and barbarous animals are held at bay only because of the activity of civilised, beings. Whenever civilisation stops or men cease their activities, the jungle is ready to break in. The same thing is true with everyone of us. Disease stands ready to invade us with the absence of postive health. Ignorance and vice await the destruction of knowledge and virtue. Bach one of us has only to cease his activities ancl his place will speedily be taken by someone of those who stand waiting with hungry eyes and stomachs to take his place.
