SPERMATOZOON AND OVUM 51 



same is true of each ovum vice versa. These facts 

 prove that each spermatozoon, and each ovum, has a 

 specific composition, and definite arrangement of its 

 atoms; that each spermatozoon has the same composi- 

 tion, and, substantially the same form, size, and struc- 

 ture that every other has; and that each ovum has 

 the same composition, form, size and structure that 

 every other has. 



We cannot doubt that each spermatozoon and 

 each ovum is produced anew, separately and apart 

 from, and independently of every other, the produc- 

 tion of each having no relation to the production 

 nor to the existence of any other. 



Intellect, memory, will-power, force and motion 

 are necessary to group two or more atoms into a 

 prescribed chemical combination, or into a specified 

 mechanical arrangement. So supernatural, psychic 

 and creative force are necessary to endow the human 

 spermatozoon and ovum, with the vital properties 

 and potentialities which they are known to possess. 



Thus it appears that each spermatozoon and each 

 ovum has mysterious and wonderful properties pecul- 

 iar to itself. "We cannot believe that they are pro- 

 duced by accident, nor by chance ; nor that the atoms, 

 of which they are composed, assemble and group 

 themselves, automatically, into the form of a sperm- 

 atozoon or an ovum; nor that they are evolved by the 

 factors of evolution. The man in whose genital organs 

 the spermatozoon is formed, has no conscious part nor 

 voluntary agency in its production; nor has he any 

 control, nor any power over it. His sexual organs 

 "grind it out' as a mill grinds out meal. Nor has
