ABSTRACT
It is true that so many of us are indifferent to what this wonderful world, which we call the natural world, is. If we feel the need to understand what is involved even in a single primrose we are fairly on our way in the search for the purpose of life. This little structure, the primrose, has been built up by the Life-Principle through the bringing together of various inorganic elements and the mixing in therewith of the Life-Principle itself to provide what are called organic substances. These, by laws as immutable as those which govern the succession of day and night, produce the beautiful harmony of plant, leaf and flower which we know as the primrose. According to the estimates of science, it took the Life-Principle an incredibly long time, as we count time, to gather together in its laboratory the material and the tools requisite for producing the primrose. In the geological series, in which, as in a book, all the members of man and everything appertaining thereto are written, the order to which the primrose belongs appears late among fossil remains of plants. When human parents expect their baby, they make great preparations; the nursery, the cradle, the tiny garments, etc., are all thought out long before their little owner comes to claim them. So the Life-Principle created on this globe conditions which made it a world exquisitely suited for its most highly-favoured sons and daughters—men and women. The process of preparation is called Interadaptation.
