100 THE UNIVERSE 



The art of longevity will be restored to the human 

 race by supplying the electric energy necessary to 

 maintain its growth and vigor, renew its wasted 

 tissue and preserve its organic power. Then the 

 age of Methuselah may come again in longevity, 

 and the centenarian be in the boyhood of his race. 

 Man will eat less, enjoy more, and get a thousand-

 all the elements of the body so adjusted as to 

 give it continual life and vigor by merely breathing 

 in its life-giving elements a few hours each day. 

 All these things are possible. 



Then there will be light and refreshing work of a

 will of man and the electric button, will do the 

 work of the world. Then the soul will be paramount 

 and soar above the grosser appetites and passions 

 to gather celestial joys in the spirit realm of earth's 

 diviner life. 



This is pre-eminently the age of mind and invisi- 

 ble forces, as the past century was the age of mat- 

 ter. Francis Grierson says : "So far as we know, 

 electricity is the soul of form. What we call brain 

 waves have an analogy to electric waves. We are
