VARIETY OF GOD'S WORK

From the January 1889 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Without variety, said a great preacher once, how tame our gardens, with every flower in form and color the counterpart of another; and how monotonous the music of early morn, did every lark in the sky, linnet in the bush, rook and ringdove in the woods, all utter the same notes! But variety characterizes every department of nature. Each lamb of the flock has a bleat known to its mother; each rose on the bush has its own shape and shade of color; and there is not a lark that hangs caroling in the clouds but has a voice recognized by the brood above whose grassy nest she sings her morning hymn, calling the drowsy world to rise for worship and for work.
