When Huxley wrote his Mans
,are In Nature" and Darwin wrote
iIs "Descent Of Man" IT. vas gen
.ra1y believed that the aiDOMins,
,r more properly speaking, the pro
elds, formed the physical basis Of
Ne. Upon this supposition these and
Jthers built up the theory OF eyo
utlon.
I, Is now known, however, that The
,rganlc matter "a not The real buIld

erials used By the mineral com
o1nds In The construction Of hy
ng things. The mineral compounds

our children, from generation To

As people Of today are suffering

20 will we be enabieI, through this

In the study Of life We must no
only deal with the inherent force
and conditions os matter that have
been yelled by a false and crude
philosophy Of materlalism and erro
neOus ideas Of matter and its re.a
ton % life, but We also come int
contact with an array Of fine
forces which have nothing less Il
do with the human organizm thai
have the forces and conditions o
matter that have been veiled by
false and crude philosophy of ma
terialism and erroneous ideas o
matter and its relation TO life, bu
we also come into contact with al
array OF finer forces which hav
nothing less to do with the huma
organism than have the forces an
conditions OF matter, yet these, toe
have been obscured by crude an
scnseless philosOphies having n
foundation either in demonstratio
or in fact
It Is only when these two force
meet and harmonize that they unit
into perfect human being, as d
two separate portions OF water unit
to form drop Of dew.
