ELECTRICAL CREATION BRIEFLY STATED 53 



These two oppositely flowing floods of electric 

 energy, under the great law of electro-magnetic 

 attraction, pass through ninety-three million miles 

 of radiant matter in eight minutes of time and 

 enter the resisting atmosphere of sun and earth, 

 their currents thrilling with energy at the high ten- 

 sion of opposite polarities beneath their atmos- 

 pheric envelope. Thus the attraction known as 

 gravitation, but which is electro-magnetism, pours a 

 constant flood of light and heat upon both sun and 

 planets, and thus the electric light and heat of the 

 sun and planets evolved from their resisting at- 

 mosphere, and the contact of their positive and 

 negative electricity, become creative potencies, de- 

 riving their vast power from each other, and from 

 their environing space of virgin, imponderable 

 matter, and thereby give life, motion and utility to 

 all visible created things. 



Thus we find that light, heat and vital force is 

 created by the contact of the positive and negative 

 electricity in the magnetic atmosphere of suns and 

 worlds. That the electric affinities in matter pro- 

 claim an electric origin, and the invisible atom as 

 the material basis of all material life; and by trac- 

 ing their source to electrical and magnetic energy, 

 we have reached the foundation upon which is built 

 the eternal structures of the universe, and the bounds 

 of all creation.
