394 CELL INTELLIGENCE THE CAUSE OF EVOLUTION 



colored papers, the colors of nearly all the pupae were 

 like, or related to that of the paper about them." 



In what manner do the actions of the cells in animals, 

 taking advantage of the color protection, differ from the 

 same acts by a German general? In what manner does 

 the act of the bee going after and storing food for the 

 winter differ from the act of the farmer rilling his barn 

 with hay for the winter? They are all directed for a pur- 

 pose. At every step in our investigation of the cause of 

 evolution, development and progress in life, we shall find 

 that it is intelligence in the cell that is the cause. It is 

 not chemical nor mechanical force nor blind chance, as 

 some will have it, nor is it nature, destiny or some other 

 mystic force as others call it. It is the cell ; and the rea- 

 son he is able to produce these different things is the 

 same as the reason that man is able to produce those dif- 

 ferent things produced by him. We find that he has 

 taken advantage of all the blind forces of nature and 

 converted them to his own purpose and use, just as man 

 has. Only a few years ago we knew nothing about this 

 invisible architect and we could only say that a tree or 

 man simply grew, but now we know there is one who 

 directs the work in the building of a tree or animal, just 

 as there is one who directs the work in the construction 

 of a house. The structure goes up piece by piece. The 

 materialist,physicist, or mechanist states that when cer- 

 tain conditions get right, the chemical force will do the 

 rest and produce all the different living structures we see. 

 This statement we know is not true from what we know 

 at the present time. Nothing is produced today, nor has 

 anything been produced in the past, unless some intelli- 

 gent being was back of it to direct the dead matter and 

 blind forces in the universe. 



The natural and chemical forces applied to matter will
