82 CELL INTELLIGENCE THE CAUSE OF EVOLUTION 



primitive savage in a one room hut, a single simple cell. 

 The cell is almost microscopic and round in shape. An 

 outer covering almost as transparent as glass surrounds 

 this little body and in the interior imbedded in the proto- 

 plasm lies a bright globular spot ; in form, size and com- 

 position there is no difference in this cell and that of any 

 other animal. The dog, elephant, lion and a thousand 

 others begin their lives the same way. At an earlier 

 stage before it has taken on its pellucid covering, this 

 cell has affinities still more astounding for it is a fact in 

 modern science that the first embryonic abodes of moss* 

 fern, pine, shark, crab, lizard, lion and man are so ex- 

 actly similar that the highest power of microscope and 

 mind fail to trace the smallest distinction between them." 



You will see from this statement by Mr. Drummond 

 that what I have told you heretofore is true, that every- 

 thing starts from one single cell. That they are all alike 

 except as to outside covering and size. The cells that 

 build man, mouse or plants look alike in the same way 

 that a shoemaker and a preacher look alike, but their 

 knowledge and experience in life have been different. For 

 that reason the work they do and the structures they 

 build will be different, depending on what their education 

 and experience have been. The actions of a living being 

 are based on his knowledge, derived from previous experi- 

 ence. 



To return to the question, where does this first cell 

 come from: When the cells build the animals, special 

 organs are built in the male and female where the cell is 

 prepared, educated and dressed up ; these are the sex 

 organs. In a certain place in the female bodies, arrange- 

 ments have also been made to furnish these cells with 

 food and building material, so they can multiply and 

 build another body. This place is called the womb. Now
