THIS triple comprehensive chorus from nature, with its Divine Solos, was heard by both Professor Cultus and the Doctor with profound feeling and a deep sense of responsibility. They had never heard an inner voice (solo) blending with sounds in nature (chorus) quite like this.

All so true when sung in concert of harmony and rhythm; the sacred music of this sphere.

“Activity for all our powers, and power for all our activities.”[1]
