In  this  humanity,  thus  balanced  and  harmonized  by  one  centralizing
attraction,  moving  to  a  common  destiny,  it  is  not  physical  power  that  is  to
bear  sway  in  the  future  as  it  has  done  in  the  past,  but  mind,  free,  edu-
cated mind,  controlling  and  directing,  not  only  the  elemental  forces  of
nature  in  their  varied  applications,  but  mental  and  spiritual  forces  as  well.
The  strongest,  the  best,  the  noblest  living  can  be  lived  only  in  and  through
these  varied  and  complex  organic  human  relations,  wherein  it  is  the  glory
of  heroic  and  sacrificial  souls  to  waive  personal  ends,  sacrifice  convenience,
to  enrich  the  commonweal,  giving  the  high  communion  of  souls,  the
lofty  converse  of  spirits  for  educating  and  perfecting  humanity.
7.  Effective  Co-workers.  —  To  become  effective  co-laborers  in  this
divine  work  for  universal  perfectness,  one's  work  must  joint  into  the
divine  plan,  and  move  on  with  the  divine  purpose,  as  expressed  in  the
march  of  Providence  shaping  human  progress.  Such  an  one  must  tread
to  the  rhythm  of  this  movement;  then  will  his  life  become  significant,
and  crowned  with  true  and  permanent  success.  A  child  once  desired  to
become  a  painter,  that  he  might  help  God  paint  the  sunset  skies.  It
is  the  mission  of  all  to  help  reveal,  each  to  the  other,  the  divine  glory
with  which  the  universe  is  aflame,  and  thus  become  co-artists  with  God.
