'Hie ant uses her brain ns well ns her
mandibles or legs. She uses her eyes
to iee where she is going as well ns
her feet to walk. Study the ant as an
architect or a builder. Some of us
have stood In awe before the architec?
tural wonders of the cathedrals and
the palaces of the east. Wc have s'-eu
walls and columns and domes and
minarets and spires that are "frozen
molle In stone." We have climbed tho
heights of Milan cathedral, whose tow?
ers aud walls are peopled with almost
sb great numbers of apostles and
saints and martyrs and priests carved
in solid stone as there are worshipers
who ever gather at one time before its
sacred shrines. We have seen St. IV
ter'g of Home connected with the won?
derful Vatican and St. Mark's, more
poetic than the Venetian canals. We
have seen the marvelous conceptions of
a Christopher Wren and tho wonderful
structure at Cologne, only a few years
ago dedicated after having consumed
centuries In building. These trans, und?
ent buildings have lifted themselves up
ev?n as did the temple of King Solo?
mon. Why? Every beam, every stone,
bat its appointed place. Bach part, as
a s nail mite, fitted Iuto a great united
while. But as I stand today before a
Westminster abbey or a St. Paul of
London I emphatically assert that
tlie--e structure's compared to the
stieimth nnd intelligence of the build
ers are not as wonderful as an ordina?
ry, everyday, commonplace tint hive we
may we in the country road.
