Nothing Lost.

PHILOSOPHERS tell us that since the creation of the world, not one single particle of matter has been lost. It may have passed into new shapes; it may have floated away in smoke and vapor, but it was not lost; it will come back again in the dew-drop of the rain; it will spring up in the fiber of the plant, or paint itself on the rose leaf. Through all its transformations, Providence watches over it and directs it still. Even so it is with every holy thought or heavenly desire, or humble aspiration, or generous and self-denying effort. It may escape our observation, we may be unable to follow it, but it is an element of the moral world, and it is not lost.
