loved child, so will the soul forget the pain of the Spiritual birth by reason of
the beauty and nobility of that which will be born to and from it.
Let us study well the story of Physical Evolution, but let us not lose
ourselves in it, for it is but the preliminary to the story of the Unfoldment
of the Soul.
Let us not despise the tale of the Body of Man—for it is the story of
the Temple of the Spirit which has been built up from the most humble
beginnings, until it has reached the present high stage. And yet even this is
but the beginning, for the work will go on, and on, and on, in the spirit of
those beautiful lines of Holmes:
“Build thee more stately mansions, oh, my soul!
As the swift seasons roll!
Leave thy low-vaulted past!
Let each new temple, nobler than the last,
Shut thee from heaven with a dome more vast,
Till thou at last art free,
Leaving thine outgrown shell by life’s unresting sea.”
