 | Nature Hints at the Resurrection
An illustration of what one may learn from nature, if he only has
eyes to see, is the example of a man who looked into his tropical
aquarium one day and saw on the surface a tiny creature, seemingly half
fish and half snake, not an inch long, writhing in what seemed its death
agony. With convulsive efforts it bent head to tail, now on this side,
now on that, springing in circles with a force truly remarkable in a
creature so small. "I was stretching out my hands to remove it," said
the aquarium owner, "so that it would not sink and die and pollute the
tank, when in the twinkling of an eye its skin split from end to end,
and there sprang out a delicate fly with slender black legs and pale
lavender wings. Balancing itself for one instant on its discarded skin,
it preened its gossamer wings and then flew out of an open window. The
impression made upon me was deep and overpowering. I learned that
nature was everywhere hinting at the truth of the resurrection."
