14 THE UNIVERSE 



ancient curse, "by the sweat of thy brow shalt thou 

 eat bread," be removed, and agriculture and com- 

 merce will be conducted without the drudgery of 

 toil or the weariness of labor, and the earth shall 

 blossom at the touch of the silent electric forces 

 which man will harness to his car of progress and 

 power. Manufacture will then be automatic and 

 the web she will weave in her silent loom will not 

 be wet with the tears of imprisoned childhood, or 

 the agonizing sweat of dungeoned manhood. 



Omnipotence follows her footsteps and with the 

 blessings of heaven she comes as a friend to relieve 

 pain and toil and elevate and glorify humanity. 

 Her power is as boundless as space and as uni- 

 versal as heaven's love. 



For she comes with the Omnipotent power of 

 Deity to relieve the burdens of toil, lift up the op- 

 pressed of the earth, and give man leisure for men- 

 tal improvement and social elevation. 



Electricity, I contend, is the invisible force which 

 evolves form and substance and all visible things. 

 Matter is but the outer garment of these invisible 

 electric forces. It is Spirit which creates psychic life, 

 and makes life the cause instead of the consequence 

 of organism. It is electricity which evolved the 

 physical universe and makes it a vast electric or- 

 ganism bound together by invisible electric ties, 

 where its invisible forces are the cause instead of the 

 consequence of physical organism. These are the 

 basic differences between the materialistic science of 

 the past and the psycho-electric science of the present. 

 In the past science investigated only visible material 

 effects and ignored the supreme invisible forces and 

 laws which evolved and produced them.
