STATEMENT No. 13. 



Cells under the influence of the strongest cell group 

 themselves to form highly complex structures 

 or organisms, hence the most complex of all 

 organisms MAN. The activity of cells forms 

 that activity we call Human Life. Thus life is 

 the sum of the activity or energy of molecules 

 formed of atoms. 



HAVING now obtained the conception of the funda- 

 mental operations in Nature, we will proceed to study 

 the main facts explaining the mode adopted by Nature 

 to build up that most complex of beings, the human 

 being. 



The fundamental operation is always the following : 

 That which forms the human being (and all objects 

 which we call animal and vegetable life) is derived 

 from external sources. Man grows, lives, and thinks 

 by absorbing food and the molecules existing in the air 

 all are molecular. 



Air, we now know, is very complex ; besides the 

 objects called " germs " held suspended in the air, it 

 also contains free atomic matter (Argon) which will not 

 combine with the simple atoms, but only with the most 

 complex grouping of atoms. These plentiful, but 

 relatively rarer species of atoms, man is constantly
