Prominent among the stones of a fireplace in my country den, one
large rounded giant stands out. It was bourne by the glacial
streams from a more northern resting place and is marked by a
fossil of a mollusk that inhabited northern seas many million years
ago. Yet in spite of the eons of time that have passed it can be
compared with specimens of mollusks that live to-day. Down through
the countless centuries the living stream has carved its structural
habitations in much the same form. The science of Paleontology has
collected this history and has attempted a reconstruction of life
from its beginnings. The same principle here illustrated is true
for the thought-life of mankind. The forms in which it has been
preserved however are not so evident. The structuralizations are
not so definite. If they were, evolution would not have been
possible for the living stream of energy which is utilized by
mind-stuff cannot be confined if it would advance to more complex
integrations. Hence the products of mind in evolution are more
plastic-more subtle and more changing. They are to be found in the
myths and the folk-lore of ancient peoples, the poetry, dramatic
art, and the language of later races. From age to age however the
strivings continue the same. The living vessels must continue and
the products express the most fundamental strivings, in varying
though related forms.
