Excerpt from Life and Love
In all ages of the world, among all peoples, the same question, What is life? has been asked, and has never been answered. To-day we are all eagerly asking it. The great men of science accumulate observations about it, but cannot satisfy us. The poet and the philosopher give us the inspiring and consoling reply that life, someway, is a part of a Divine Life, manifested. But aside from this thought of the poet, we seem to ourselves to come nearest to some understanding of this mystery when we speak the great companion, word "love," - love, the great continuer of life.
It is in itself a mystery nearly as deep as the mystery of life; its high office is that of drawing together, uniting, perfecting, renewing, - the same power working in the single cell, in the complex structure, and - with what a sublime difference - in the human being!
