    find wonderful evidence of supernatural and divine knowledge / Dr . Paterson proceeds to discuss the oriin of lifevarieties of lifethe

    records of life , the g natural history , of life , enemies , of life , and results of life ! He sums up his conviction in the following eloquent words : ' Life is

    indeed a very miserable thing on the plane of materialism . If this life be all , we are of all men most — - ~ miserable . - - - — . - But - it is — — a grand r ^ i and -- noble

    thing when we regard it as the loom in which God is weaving His eternal work ; and , by means of us , little insignificant creatures though we be ,

    He is manifesting unto the powers in heavenly places His manifoll wisdom . Life is full of meaning , full of power , and full of grandeur , when we

    look at it in the light of God ' s Word and when we accept the teaching that Word gives us concerning its present purposes and its eternal issues . ' The

    aim of the work is thus to show the real harmony which exists between the book of nature and the revealed Word of God , and the style in which it

    is written may be said to be singularly attractive , and free from the phraseology of the schools . From Messrs . W . & A . K . Johnston . — ' Pupil Teachers' Geograhical 1 Cear-Book : Third Year
