410 CELL INTELLIGENCE THE CAUSE OF EVOLUTION 



cially to show the same intellect in the smaller beings or 

 structures as in the larger. For instance when the bees 

 are taken south to perpetual sunshine they quit storing 

 honey for the winter. Whole communities of bees some- 

 times take to theft and live by robbing other hives, just 

 like man plundering his fellow man, and they will de- 

 stroy the queen first, so as to create a disturbance and 

 disorganization among the workers. 



The ants rob and plunder each other, take each other 

 captive as slaves and compel the captives to do all the 

 work while the others live in idleness and luxury. It is 

 perfectly natural that we should find these acts purposive 

 and intelligent to the same degree in the ants and bees 

 as in man, because both man and ant are put together and 

 guided by the same individual, the cell. The cells are in- 

 dividuals that build just as man does and they use the 

 same matter and forces in the production of their differ- 

 ent structures. Man has been and is today studying the 

 various building schemes and methods for production and 

 protection now used by the cell. 



The cell is the architect, builder and guardian of all liv- 

 ing things we see such as plants, animals and man, in the 

 same manner as man is the architect, builder and guard- 

 ian of all those things we see produced by him, such as 

 houses, railroads, machines, factories, etc. Because man 

 cannot produce a microscope powerful enough to see how 

 the cell produces all his different structures and watch 

 his organs perform their various functions, there is no 

 reason to deny the facts because we know that matter 

 everywhere in the universe follows fixed laws whether it 

 be a molecule, atom, grain of sand, stone or brick. Heat, 

 light, electricity, gravitation, chemical affinity, also obey 

 fixed laws. This we find to be the case everywhere in 

 the universe. The cell interferes with the laws of matter
