Animal Kingdom In the animal creation it will be interesting to note that there are today approximately twenty-five domestic animals. Scientists have tried to tell us that the dog and house cat were formerly wild and have simply been domesticated, but nature con¬tradicts it. There is a dog to meet every need of man from the Arctic to the equator and from the rising to the setting of the sun. The strange thing about it is that no wild animals as yet have ever been able to take the place of our domestics. They tell us that the dog belongs to the wolf family, but who has ever been able to take a wolf of any species and tame it to make a lap-dog of it, a guard and companion to his children, or a daily associate on the Farm or home? You may keep him twenty generations, and he is still a wolf. If you Jet our faithful friend of the human go wild in the forest for twenty generations, then capture and take him to your home, within a week he is your servant and friend and stave who will lay his life down for you. The dog was created by God Almighty to be the faithful servant and companion and lover of man. Our common house-cat was created to he the household friend and chum of children and childhood, and pet of the aged. When the wise Master Builder made the horse He designed him purposely to meet the needs of His Man as servant and beast of burden. He left a place in its mouth where no teeth grow that a bit might be held without inconvenience, that the horse might be able to eat its food with the hit still in its mouth. Had the cow been given the fierce disposition of a hyena or lion, she would have been totally unfit for domestic purposes. Had the dog been given the disposition of the wolf or fox, or had our cat been given the disposition of the tiger, they would have been unsafe for our home. Had the horse been given the disposition of the zebra, it never would have been mans beast of burden and inseparable friend. No, He who created man knew that man would need domestic animals that would respond to the touch of love, animals that would pine and yearn for human companionship and that would gladly obey the human voice. So I might speak of the other domestic animals that show the wise provision of an intelligent creator, if I had space. Vegetable Kingdom It will be of intense interest for us to look at the great variety of woods that were created for Man. There are 183 varieties of the Eucalyptus family alone. These with the oak, the sighing pine, the laughing maple, the delicate willow, the lonely poplar were created to fill a need and want in humanitys development and expansion. There are over one hundred thousand classified varieties in the vegetable kingdom; there are over five hundred thousand insects that Feed on these hundred thousand varieties. Every plant, shrub, vegetable, fruit or tree of the entire vegetable kingdom was designed and planned for mans use, and as man grows intellectually and delves into the mysteries of the vegetable kingdom he is finding there the answer to thousands of needs that are continually coming in this great mechanical age.
