animal life. die--die because they once
lived and for no other reason, save in
the case of man whose death Is the
penalty OF sin. The stone never lived
and, therefore, cannot die. Can dead
matter generate life?
Abfogenesis is not a corollary and
is deduced from no truth or fact in
nature. The chemistry of one atom
Of non-living matter Is the essence of
simplicity when compared to the
chemistry of an atom of any living
substance. animal or vegetable. An
atom OF sodium and an atom of chic
rine will make one molecule OF COM
mon salt We can evaporate sea
water and manufacture table salt We
can. thus. bring these atoms together
or they may meet by chance. But

cells that definite substance called
henogiobin. "A molecule Of hemo-
globin must contain the following
number Of different atoms in their due
proportions. namely: of hydrogen
atoms, 1880: of carbon atoms. 745;
of nitrogen. 2l4; of oxygen, 245: of
sulpher, 2; Of iron. l; or 2.3o4 atoms

Of iron In Its peculiar relations to the
rest tmasked as some psychologists
say), were left out. the animal could
neither absorb oxygen nor give off
carbonic acid; 1t could not breathe and
therefore could not live. William
Hanna Thompson.
\ Notable Contrast.
What contrast between the chem
istry Of an atom of inorganic matter
ca stone) and the chemistry of an
atom Of any living substance. A river
of blood separates the two, the or
ganic from the inorganic worlds No
such blood stream divides the natures
IL the inhabitants of the spiritual
world, whether elohistic, cherubic. or
seraphc. just because spirit beings
are not flesh, and their lives are not
conditioned by blood. The blood is
the most hereditary thing known to
man. We are here face to face with
the remarkable statement OF Moses:
is In the blood ULevit. 17:14.
Hynomology teaches us that the
home of the soul is I'm the skies"
but the Bible and science declare 1t Is
Sin the blood" (damo).
Some Amazing Facts.
Recent Investigations into the i'm
munlty Of infectious diseases have re-
vealed facts before which we stand
amazed. Why should smallpox attack
man but once, and therefore or there
after he is immune. while pneumonia
in any case predisposes to second
or even a third attack. The antitoxlns
of typhoid fever are now injected into
the blood of all the armies of Europe.
But the various antitoxins OF immu-
nized blood are specific in that 1t al
fords protection only against Its own
poison. We have the antitoxine for
the cobra's bite, and another for the
rattlesnake's poison. This led FRO
lessor Wassermann. of Vienna, TO IN
vestIgate whether the blood OF each
species of animal did not contain
some ingredients not to be found in
the blood Of any other animal. Pro-
lessor Nuttall, Of Cambridge Univer-
sity, declares that q single, drop OF
blood from any animal now suff1ces
not only to show by it's peculiar chem
ical reaction what animal It comes
from, but also how nearly related by
it's blood an animal Is to other AMI
mails "A drop Of blood OF a walrous
shows no relation to a drop of blood
from a whale or of any other ceta-
cean, such as seals or PROPOSES
which. like the walrus. are mammals
that have taken to the sea. Instead
of that the blood OF the walrus I'M
mediately reacts with the blood Of
horses, asses and zebras, thus prov
ing that he is an equine that has
| taken to the seas"--WilHAm Hanna
! Thompson.
| Here, then, these blood tests diff
| ferentiate the animal from which 1t
has been taken from all other ami
mails; and. in the parent blood CELL
| indicate the kind" or pattern" at
| ter which every cell in its future
| body is moulded. whether man. ash
| or frog.
Darwdn's Theory.
The truth and honesty no less than
| the laborious and patient investiga-
| tons of Mr.. Darwin stamp him as
| one Of the noblest men OF our race,
yet, his view Of the origin OF man and
| Of the lower orders of life upon our
globe must give way to the Mosaic
doctrine that the Creator In the be-
ginning laid down in the primitive
animal and vegetable parent-cell, the
pattern" or kind" Oimino) after
| the outlines of which the whole an
| NAL and vegetable worlds In all their
| genera, species, classes and oroers are
developed.
"It is almost certain that several
| Of my conclusions will hereafter be
found erroneous"-Preface to second
edition of Descent OF Man." page
4, 1874. The revelations OF the mi
croscope during the last forty-five
years, the Descent Of Man" was
published in 1871, have shown that
his view of the origin Of man and Of
life on our globe (evolution) Is also
erroneous and utterly antagonistic
| to the Divine revelation and to the
| teachings Of modern science.
