38 SPECIAL CREATION 



heart to beat, its auricles must dilate and take the 

 blood into it; and its ventricles must contract and 

 force the blood out of it, and into the arteries. So 

 that every time one breathes, and every time one's 

 heart beats, force is exerted and motion of air and 

 blood is produced. Every time one takes a drink 

 of water or a bite of bread he must exert sufficient 

 force to raise it, and produce sufficient motion to 

 bring it to his mouth. Every time one takes a step 

 he exerts sufficient force and produces sufficient mo- 

 tion to move his body the distance that he steps. For 

 example, suppose that A, weighing .two hundred 

 pounds, gets on an electric street car and rides a mile. 

 It is obvious that the electric motor has exerted suffi- 

 cient force and produced sufficient motion of A's body 

 to move two hundred pounds, the distance of a mile. 

 Now, if A had walked along the same railway track 

 the same distance, it is clear that would have exerted 

 the same force and produced the same motion of his 

 body that the motor did. 



We eat, drink, speak, move, act, work, live do 

 everything by force and motion. When they cease, 

 death comes. 



Everything that a man can do with a physical 

 body is resolvable into force and motion. He may move 

 a body from one place to another; he may group two 

 or more bodies together; or he may take two or more 

 bodies apart ; or he may cut or break a body into two 

 or more parts. But, at last, all of these operations 

 are equivalent to moving one or more bodies from one 

 place to another, by force and motion.
