WHAT IS MAN?
What are we humaris made of ? Did you read what a doctor said ? Each of us worth five shillings from toes to the top of the head. Water, magnesium, carbon (and in t very much of that), lime, and iron, and phosphorus—the rest is sulphur and fat. What are wo humans made of? Did you hear what a doctor said ? Each of us worth five shillings from toes to the top of the l ead. But he didn't mention that something (perhaps it hasn't a name) as deep and wide as an ocean, brighter than any flame. That curious, sharc-by-all something, which ciicmretry cannot find, linking us all in kinship with the one eternal Mind. Each of us worth five shillings in terms of mcney and sod. But what of that priceless possession—our share of the spirit of Go:l ? —Wilhelmina Stitch. A reader of our page has forwarded the above excellent little verse as a reply to the paragrapn. "What 13 Man?" printed in our nage las', week. The verse was written by Wilhelmina Stitch after a similar paragraph had appeared in an English paper.
