PRODUCES PHENOMENA OF NATURE 37 



This brings us to the border land of creative work, 

 to the mysterious sea of all life-giving forces, and the 

 universal basis of all existing creations. 



Here spirit, matter, and electricity the three 

 great basic entities of creation work together in 

 full accord in evolving and fashioning all material 

 growth and material structures. In natural growth 

 protoplasm gives the material conditions of life 

 without which there could be no food supplies. 



They contain grouped elements of oxygen, nitro- 

 gen, h}'drogen and carbon out of which living struc- 

 tures are reared. Life is dependent upon food sup- 

 plies of matter, which supplies must be raised to 

 radiant conditions by electric forces to secure its 

 assimilation into living organic forms. Life, there- 

 fore, like light, seeks through magnetic action a 

 radiant plane of matter where it can reveal its 

 working presence. Upon such a plane all forms 

 of life come to birth from a common parentage 

 from electric force and radiant matter, each form en- 

 dowed with personality, and powers of reproduction 

 that make them factors of life and growth upon 

 the radiant plane of creative potencies. 



Prof. G. F. Wright of Oberlin says in a recent 

 article : "Evolution does not solve the mysteries of 

 the universe. It simply pushes them one step fur- 

 ther back. The mystery of the acorn is greater 

 than the mystery of the oak, for it has compressed 

 in it all the 'power and potency' of the oak. It is 

 no explanation of a chick to say it is hatched from 

 an egg. The wonder and the mystery is simply 

 carried back to that infinitesimal point in the egg 

 which conceals within itself the power of producing 

 the feathered biped with all its marvelous instincts
