"Go to the ant, thou sluggard, consider her ways, be wise which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, provideth her meat in the summer, and gathereth her food in the harvest."- -xxx. 25.

"We came upon an immense colony of ants, all busily employed. They had made a highway from their dwelling of about forty yards in length, and this was literally covered with a black dotted line of these moving insects. Those going out carried nothing, but hurried along with great speed. Those returning carried a seed, or piece of straw. Another band were employed in carrying out a grain of the soil from the camp, making room for the new supply."-Narrative of a Mission to the Jews, p. 95.
