The scientist tells us that rich meteoric dust first fell on our
earth as soil for the earliest vegetable life. And ascending
from the scenes they loved, the apostles, with their memories,
the musicians with their solemn Te Deums, the artists with
their transfigurations and crucifixions, the cathedral-builders
with their sublime conceptions of worship, the philosophers,
and the poets, rained the richest associations down upon that
gospel, whose ideas had lent them their greatness.--N. D.
HILLIS.
