brought to the brain-cells, and the ear began to 

 gather in concentric circles around the brain-center, 

 and a new sense that of hearing was formed. Thus 

 there was an additional increase of the power of 

 perception or instinct. Thus were evolved all types 

 of animal form and animal instinct. They were the 

 result of electric energy, sense perception, and long 

 ages of growth, comparison and environment. 



Then came man, the highest type of animal or- 

 ganism. Man may have passed the successive 

 changes and transmutations of form that the shift- 

 ing vibratory rates of the planet responded to in the 

 long period of world building. He may have at- 

 tained to the grade of animal activity as a mind of 

 the highest order in bodily form before he received 

 the spiritual powers and intellectual force which he 

 has exhibited all along the ages,, after all animal 

 forms had battled with the elements in the struggles 

 to keep in equilibrium between the surging tides of 

 electrical dispersion and magnetic concentration. 

 Certain it is man holds his own by virtue of his 

 steady rise in mental power which has no limit of 

 evolution in the present stage of physical life and 

 psycbic life. And there are no known boundaries of 

 his power to penetrate all mysteries and explore all 

 conditions of existence " wherever being has laid 

 foundations, or law is working out the problems of 

 infinite destiny." Man came as a spiritual creation. 



Many scientists discard the religious or Mosaic 

 concept of a special creation of man and a divine 

 revelation, and hold that the revelations of science 

 are the only revelations of God that the world can 

 regard as reliable. 



I cannot agree with them that man was evolved
