Excerpt from Park's Floral Magazine, Vol. 57: July, 1921 The whole scheme of the universe is tending toward a higher and purer idealism, and what is not of use will 'be sloughed off, just as sure as the old world moves on. Our Butterfly says human nature does not change; I think it must do so, when we con sider the Heidelberg man and those other pie-historic humans; we find in man, as in other animals and plants, a tendency to rever sion, but the eternal urge toward the higher and more ideal is slowly, but just as surely, lifting humanity to something higher and more advanced; what that will ultimately achieve we do not know, as we see as through a glass very darkly.
