Excerpt from Proceedings of the American Society of Microscopists: Eighth Annual Meeting, Held at Cleveland, O., August 18, 19, 20 and 21, 1885

When we survey the present condition Of society, and attempt to analyse the problems Of social relations and intercourse, which have become the topics Of so many discussions and have called for SO many expressions Of difference Of opinion, we are apt to lose sight Of the more hidden and quiet forces, which, though unrecog nized, are nevertheless controlling with irresistible power the move ments Of the age, and, in spite Of the prejudice, the ignorance, the sordid motives, Of temporary leaders, sometimes in the highest stations, are bringing good out Of evil; and, as the round world itself, in Obedience to laws unrecognised by the busy crowd, moves surely and truly on its axis and in its orbit, regardless Of the cyclones and storms which, for the moment for us, appear to have the whole mastery Of our being, so under in"uence Of these, which are acting as the controlling and directing forces Of political and social life, we are safely guided, and know that our hopes Of ultimate success have a foundation, true as was the word pronounced when the Creator looked upon the world, with all its sky, its water and its land teeming with life, and behold it was very good; yes, and nothing but good can come from the study Of this perfected nature, when properly conducted.
