Excerpt from Human and Comparative Anatomy, Physiology, and Hygiene 1. However complete a machine of human invention, none can be more perfect in structure, beautiful in appearance, or harmonious in action than the "house we live in," which is framed and furnished by the Great Architect, God. Q. What is said of the machines made by man, compared with the "house we live in"? 2. A watch contains beautiful wheels as well as delicate springs, all of which are surrounded by well-fitted cases. Yet the body contains parts more beautiful, organs more delicate, enclosed in cases more perfect in construction. Q. How does a watch compare with the body, in beauty, delicacy, and perfection? 3. Look at a watch, how beautiful soever its face, it cannot compare in loveliness with the smile that plays upon the infant's cheek. The hands of a watch tell the hour of day; but they have no sensation or feeling like the hands of a child.
