CAUSE OF EVOLUTION 413 



The same reason, consciousness, and intellect must be 

 there to guide matter and force in the microscopic world 

 as well as in our world. Knowing and observing the laws 

 of matter, man can mix certain materials like cement and 

 sand and produce a concrete, in similar manner the cell, 

 knowing and observing the same laws, can mix lime and 

 other materials and produce a shell, and knowing and ob- 

 serving the laws of matter, man can make a substance 

 that, when forced through capillary holes, will harden 

 when exposed to the air and when wound into threads 

 will be artificial silk. The cells in silk worms produce 

 the real thing in exactly the same manner. We imitate 

 and follow the process used and observed by the cells in 

 the silk worm, step by step. The production of the silk, 

 whether done by the cell or man, involves a knowledge of 

 chemistry and mechanics and requires intelligence. 



Each in his place could produce nothing without knowl- 

 edge, experience and intellect. I could go on indefinitely 

 in this manner and compare the action and production of 

 man and cell and show the exact similarity. The hard 

 frames of trees and plants and animals and tough pro- 

 tecting covers of trees, plants and animals are produced 

 by the cell colonies for their use and purpose, to protect 

 themselves, in precisely the same manner as man pro- 

 duces his houses, clothing, etc., to resist and protect him- 

 self from enemies and the elements. 



The intelligence of man is inferior to that of. the cell 

 because he must learn and get his advice from the cell. 

 We can see that the cell understands how to handle the 

 different forces in nature like heat, light, sound, electric- 

 ity, motion, etc. They use these forces for this and that 

 purpose to produce certain desired results just as man 

 does. They make and use heat to warm up their habita- 

 tions. They make a light to guide their actions, and elec-
