SUMMARY OF THE PREVIOUS STATEMENTS AND PROOFS. 



The Factors in Human Life The Issue. 



WE have now arrived at a position when we can sum- 

 marize the facts and understand the factors in human 

 life. 

 Firstly. All matter is built of atoms which are never 



destroyed, were never created they are eternal. 

 Secondly. Atoms form molecules. The atoms which 

 form molecules are eternally regenerating mole- 

 cules. 



Thirdly. There are differences in potentialities of 

 atoms hence we obtain a higher and higher grade 

 of molecule. 



Fourthly. All living creatures, except the very lowest 

 forms, are built up of cells and the secretions of 

 those cells. All cells are built up of molecules. 

 In the higher animals, including man, the cells 

 are controlled by the central molecule, which is 

 in its turn controlled by the fundamental atom. 

 Fifthly. In man one of those controlling centres 

 exists, and so long as this cell the commander- 

 in-chief of the army of cells, called the human 

 organism, can keep its army together we have 

 what we commonly call life or that species of life 

 we call the life of the being. So soon as this con- 

 trolling power ceases what we call death takes place.
