and called formed matter. These
were the oaly kinds fsund
in the animal an vegetable Kingdoms.
The first matter is known by various
names, such as living matter, permipal
matter, bioplasm and p~rotoplasm. A

The speaker at this point turned to A
couple of charts done in red and black
colors and displaying some highly magni-
fed tissues ofthe human body. The whole
body is made of cells. Understand how
cells are formed and you have grasped the
subject. The cells, like the complete
oyster, takes in dead matter from the out
side and converts it into living matter.
The formed matter is merely the matter
thrown around them. Take a tendon.
The cells which produced it took in nutri-
ment and threw off formed matter. The
cells out of which the muscle eventually
grew acted in the same way. But the re-
suit in each case was very differ
ent. The tendon produced was
white, glistening and bloodless the
muscle was red, soft, full of blood. while
the nerve was delicate, n~on-contractile.
but possessed of the peculiar faculty of
transmitting nerve impulses.
HOW DIFFERENT THEIR OFFICE
and how different their appearance, and
yet the germinal matter from which each
was produced, so far as science can deter
mine, was precisely the same in Zach case.
How does the web and loom work with
the weaver ? He was
merely acting as a lawyer and
submitted the matter to the audience
as a Jury. Take specks of germinal mat
ter, the same exactly, so far as the micro
scope or ANALYSIS reveals, and one pro-
duces a man, another an oak, another a
lion and still another an eagle. Variety
in result implies variety in cause. He did
deny that their chemical and me-
chanical power were in great force, but
he did deny that they set themselves in
Darwin accounted for the first
living matter by a supernatural creation.
The theory of spontaneous generation has
been exploded. Huxley acknowledges
that science cannot bridge the chasm be-
tween living and dead matter. The
growth is not like Capitalization. The
difference lies in the fact that one speck
of germinal matter killed, cannot be
revitalized. Beale says that the matter
from which the sponge and brain are
woven are precisely the same as far as
he can determine. Materialistic argu-
ments were much like the old astronomy.
The earth rests on n tortoise and the tor
toise rested-heaven knew where. The
then referred to the manner in
which nerves were wound round muscles,
in and out like dancers in a cotillion.
With Carlyle he asked, ''Will some one
order one of these out of your shops to-

marvel of the intimate blending of ar.
t%eries, veins, nerves and muscles, and
did mere matter account for the
building upofveins or arteries or the mys-
FERROUS heart that kept regularly pumping
the blood, sleeping or awaking. Join
four to the osseous system
and join the multitudinous whole into a
single individual and you discover what a
speck of germinal matter does. Does
of itself, do all that?
DOES MATTER THINK?
