modified cell-body." (Martin, Human Body, p. 651.) 

 According to Haeckel, the spermatozoon is about 

 l/10,000th of an inch in diameter. See Evolution of 

 Man, p. 53, fig. 22. 



"The striking differences,' says Haeckel, "of 

 [between] the respective cells, in size and shape * * * 

 * * are easily explained on the principle of division 

 of labor. The inert motionless ovum grows in size 

 according to the quantity of provision it stores up 

 in the form of nutritive yelk for the development of 

 the germ. The active swimming sperm-cell is reduced 

 in size in proportion to its need to seek the ovum and 

 bore its way into its yelk." Haeckel, Evolution of 

 Man, p. 57.) 



These statements appear to be true ; but the work 

 described by Haeckel, cannot be done by man nor 

 woman ; nor by their sexual organs ; nor by the blind 

 unthinking atoms which go to build up the spermato- 

 zoon and the ovum. The Creator only, can make them ! 



"The phenomena we have described,' he says, 

 on another page, "can only be understood and ex- 

 plained by ascribing a certain lower degree of psy- 

 chic activity to the sexual principles. They feel each 

 other's proximity and are drawn together by a sen- 

 sitive impulse (probably related to smell) ; they move 

 towards each other and do not rest until they fuse 

 together. (Haeckel, Evolution of Man, p. 58.) 



There is no pretense that the spermatozoon has 

 any brain, eyes, ears, nose, taste or touch; nor that 

 the ovum has any such organs. Then, how can they 

 have any "degree of psychic activity;' how can 

 "they feel each other's proximity;' how can "they
