EACH EMBRYO BODY PRODUCED ANEW 83 



the sea. It appears that the chief office of the fer- 

 tilized ovum is to inaugurate the growth and multi- 

 plication of cells, which are, finally, differentiated and 

 specialised into the several organs and parts of the 

 embryo body. 



These facts serve to show the extent of the su- 

 pernatural creative work done in the embryo body. 

 It is a new living body, with all is organs and parts 

 made of inanimate matter, except the germ-cell.

The embryo is built of certain chemical elements, 

 namely: carbon, hydrogen, nitrcgen, oxygen, etc. See 

 sec. 3, supra, and index, infra, "Chemical elements.' 

 It derives its properties and potentialities fro iv > cer- 

 tain chemical combinations and mechanical arrange- 

 ments of these elements, and from life. All of the~e 

 combinations and arrangements are made after the 

 formation of the fertilized ovum. Even if this rvum 

 and its daughter-cells could build up the embryo body, 

 automatically, yet it must grow anew for itself, in- 

 dependently of the growth of the bodies of its parents, 

 or any other person ; for it must have its own bo ly, 

 and not that of its father, mother, nor of any other 

 person. It is composed of new materials, except the 

 fertilized ovum, which is too small to be considered in 

 comparison with the body of the embryo, as a whole.
