BARRETT Kepler, when he discovered the three laws of planetary motion, exclaimed: "I thank Thee, God, that I can think Thy thoughts after Thee." A celebrated scientist once remarked to the writer who was visiting in his laboratory, "Here is where I discover the hidden secrets of nature.**/ Both of these statements clearly indicate that we are living in an orderly world which is controlled hgr law and not mere chance. The reign of law always presupposes reason or purpose. Nature throbf with a definite and convincing purpose which is clearly manifested whan we sincerely investigate her methods. In the summer time, we have abundant harvests, and fruits of the orchard. Nature's purpose tn her 1 luctive processes is to Create I for tfc« ggtenfpetdl life.
