You did not make yourself. You
cannot unmake yourself
By no process Of reasoning can you
explain this wonderful marvel of the
life principle within you. Science has
found all the ingredients which COM

which resembles the hens product can
be manufactured.
But it will not produce life. A Ger

produced in the chemical laboratory.
But the germs spawned by the fish

Nothing can produce life but that
