The ceaseless human activity in a material universe as visualized by Shakespeare was pictured thus:—
All the world's a stage,
And all the men and women merely players.
What the poet expressed in verse Mrs. Eddy set forth in prose when she wrote (Miscellaneous Writings, p. 224), "We should remember that the world is wide; that there are a thousand million different human wills, opinions, ambitions, tastes, and loves; that each person has a different history, constitution, culture, character, from all the rest; that human life is the work, the play, the ceaseless action and reaction upon each other of these different atoms." In the same paragraph this wonderful woman with spiritual vision counsels students to go forth into life with large patience, a genial temper, a settled equanimity, "a charity broad enough to cover the whole world's evil, and sweet enough to neutralize what is bitter in it."
