tain degree of heat.
Meteors flying through the inconceivaby cold
spaces that separate the planets could bring life with
them in some microscopic FORM and, pluugiug safely
through our atmosphere. deposit the beginning of life
in the
thence travelled to the land
And we know that the lowest forms of life, begin
ming with the single cell on this planet, developed
every other form.
We do not need to guess about this, for the embry-
day it starts until its birth, SEES THE DOUBLE CELL
OF LIFE GO THROUGH ALL THE FORMS or AMI
HOUR, DETEL6PED HUMAN CHILD APPEARS.
The great marves of life to be studied in that
scope, and that with difficulty tell the difference
between the unborn human child and the lower
animals.
In his article in the issue of Hearss Maya
zine, already referred to, Sir William Ramsay, very
great and earnest scientist discusses Interestingly the
origin of life in the course of study of microbes and
germ life.
His conclusion is:
If it may be permitted an outsider
to risk opinion, II is that the question Is
not which be settled. For
first grounds it would appear not unlikely
that Nature 10 always producing life; but
it Is also almost certain that could
recognize prlmordla organisms, account
Of their extreme minuteness and simplicity
Of form. If such organisms are being
formed, and II they exist, doubt they
would In the course Of ages develop Into ono
Of a recognizable form; but proof would ap-
pear to be almost impossible
Thus far there is absolutely proof that life has
been created artciay, and all assertions to the con-
trary foolish.
The egg of a sea-urchn may be treated with chem
icals and life produced, but that means nothing.
You take the egg of hem put II IN an incuba-
tor and, under proper conditions, develop life But
you have the egg first and back of the there
be the hen. Back of the seaurchins egg artlh-
ciay fertiized there must be the mother of that egg
The fact is that human beings must probably recon-
cile themselves to the thought that life NEVER DID
BEGIN.
Our little lives form little opinion We BEGIN
In the cradle, and END in the grave. As begin
and end think that everything else must begin and
end.
But simple common teaches that TINE
could never begin. You couldn't imagine any partcu-
lar when time started. There must have been
time back of that.
And child of ten realize that there cannot be
any possible limit to SPACE-this universe MUST be
without limit If you say that the end of the universe
is a billion trilliOn miles away in a straight line, how
will you the question what is beyond that"
II doesn't need science only plain sense, to
teach that time had beginning, that it
will have end that space, what children would
call BIGNESS, is absolutely without limit
And difficult it is for TO conceive it, shall
probably settle down the belief that life itself
began.
Fortunately science and religion agree in saying
that life will never end.
On this and other planets and for millions and
millions of years, life viii continue in different
forms. Aud always the quality Of life will be
