LIVING MATTER. 39 



Yet the spiral is not broken, it is but expanded, and the 

 analogies and relations have a distinctive similarity, 

 since they are equally the work of one God and Creator 

 of all. As the physical forces, by attraction and vibra- 

 tion, and conservation, arrange the cosmos, or physical 

 universe, so the various bioplasts weave the living tis- 

 sues for the living creature the microcosmos and so 

 the conscious acts of our spirits weave the character of 

 our future life.
