belief and desire is universal that it
should exist. There has been well
nigh universal belief among all people
in all time that it exists somewhere
in a higher state of life.
Mr.. Edison AYERS that he never
created anything. Great inventor
that he is. this is entirely true. Nei-
Their can he annihilate anything. He
NAV demolish one of his electrical
inventions. The material of which it
is made will return to the common
mass and the electrical current will
be freed but not destroyed Certainly
he should see the analogy here to
human existence. Is the mind and
soul annihilated when the body re-
turns to the common heap?
He believes in a Supreme Intelli-
gence that has given the universe or
der and design; certainly he would
not speak of the supreme impression?
If We have no thoughts, as he de-
clares, we have no intelligence. In
telligence doesn't exist except through
what is wrought by Impressions, but
that could not explain the great Su-
preme Intelligence. Mr.. Edison in
vented the moving picture apparatus,
and in so doing he only utilized the
forces of nature which he had OBJ
served, but he used intelligence in
designing the machine. 1t would
never have come by chance, nor can
the machine be worked except by in
telligent direction. Mr.. Edison is
therefore compelled to believe in a
Supreme Intelligence that has de-
signed and directs the wonders Of the
universe-even in one that is actually
created, though creation be beyond
his comprehension Still he says
