The address of Professor Coles was

material, the speaker arguing that 1t

intellect and through 1t alone could the
bodily Ills Of mankind be prevented or
leSsened
Professor Coles introduced his subject
with biblical quotations Of philosophers
and scientists in proof that blood is
the life of all flesh" Adams blood was
poisoned by apostasy 4,004 b. c. and the
tinge of it Went down through the ages
into the character of all of Adams de-
scendants. II one fountain Of bad blood
did so much harm. the sum Of good
destroyed by countless millions Of sin
| fountains is incompatible. The blood
absorbs the teachings of the mind, he
observed, rather than IL the brain nour-
ished directly by the blood.
WOULD EDUCATE THE BLOOD.
In the case of an Indian boy educated
in a seminary, the spirit inculcated in
him would in turn educate the blood
animalcula SO that they would trans
form the boys whole human structure
and make a beautiful face, cleaning
with intelligence. where once was an
ill-shaped, ill-kept and homely frontis-
piece. For the Lord has declared that
"A mans wisdom maketh his face to
shine, and the boldness of his face
shall be changed" Ecclesiastes, Will.
Each tribe of blood animalcula builds
as it has been taught. mo person over
eighteen years Of age should think of
emigrating to foreign lands II as they
stand but one chance in q thousand Of
living through the flesh and bone trans
planting process" said Professor Coles.
He cited the change in the frames OF
Hungarians who, after few years in
this country, become spare and bony.
| "All things teach us we must be In
sympathy with all nationalities, for
within each human temple there is in
structiOn for the inquiring, food for the
hungry, supplies for the destitute,
strength for the weak, ETC., ETC." In
the intermarriage of races there is a
probability Of abnormal offspring-a
deteriorat ton. The mixing of blood in
tellect, not blood In q material sense,
does this.
In Genesis fourth chapter. ninth
verse, is found, And the Lord said
unto Cain. Where is Abel thy brother?
And Cain said. know not. Am my
brothers. keeper? And the Lord said.
What hast thou done? the voice Of thy
brothers blood creth unto me from
the ground. And now art thou cursed
from the earth, which has opened up
her mouth to receive thy brothers
blood from thy hand" Cain could not
tell the Lord what he had done. but
the blood-the living. thinking, speak
ing animalcula-that had been spilled
from Abers body told him what had
happened; Now We understand how
the spirit and the living animalcula in
our bodies are on speaking terms and
how that blood talks!
BUILDING A MANS BODY.
at takes countless millions Of living
animalcula of all trades and profess
sions, twenty years to build a mans
body. And II God should devulge the
perfect construction of the human
body to man. 1t would take the COM
bined effort Of all the men, women and
| children now living on the face of
earth, over one thousand and seven
hundred years to accomplish the same
work.
"A peep into the Electric Eye shows
| us that the surface Of our bodies Is
covered with scales, like those of fish !;
they are like great, overlapping defens-
es-armOr plating-more effectually

| will cover q thousand or more Of these
| scales and under these powerful pro-
| tectors are pierced myriads of little
pores which serve as canals.
Nobody has any conception Of the
number of them and nobody depending
upon the rough, haphazard disclosures

any clew to an adequate idea Of the
