EARTHWORMS.
It is not man who has made of this
earth a flowering paradise.
It is the earthworm.
Man enjoys what <he has not pro
vided, reaps where he has not sown.
Vegetation is what makes human
life possible. Plants consume the ni
trogen of the air, leaving the oxygen
for man, replenishing the store of it
/for him.
But never could vegetation have
survived upon th eearth’s crust if the
earthworm had not been here, bur
rowing the ground, softening it,

aerating: it, enriching it. In an acre
of soil, ten tons of earth are’ distrib
uted by earthworms in a year.
What a. wonderful function it per
forms!
But it i* -pleasanter to be a human
being than to be an earthworm.
We know the world .at. large, not
the small compass of. a few square
feet.
Let us be-assured of one thing. We
are here for a purpose just as definite
as that of the earthworm. It blindly
follows instinct. We have been given,
minds, souls and awarded a choice of •
action and. careers.
The responsibility increases with
the additional gifts.
We are not earthworms.
We have no right to accomplish
less in proportion than they do. How
many of us are accomplishing any
more ?—£r.
