that energy appears in a variety of forms as motion, 

 heat, light and so-called gravity and chemical ac- 

 tion. Fourth, that these forms of energy are inter- 

 changeableany one form may change into any 

 other form, and all are transformations of the 

 one ultimate force I term electricity. Fifth, that 

 there is nothing in science to show that mind or 

 spirit ever changes into physical energy, or force 

 into mind or matter, or either into the other. This 

 destroys the doctrine of monoecism, or all things 

 from one substance. And Haeckel will have to pro- 

 duce more facts and logic than he has yet set forth 

 to prove that spirit and matter, force and matter 

 are all one and the same thing or substance. 



The psychic or mental force is the paramount 

 force, and the true realm of evolution belongs to the 

 mental or spiritual universe and to organic nature. 

 Physical changes are not evolution in the highest 

 sense except as they are the result of spiritual power 

 and unfolding intellect. The highest sphere of evolu- 

 tion is in biology and psychology. 



There is matter, mind and force. Materialism is a 

 shallow, one-sided doctrine; and the opposite extreme, 

 that there is no matter, nothing but mind, is also 

 shallow and one-sided. These three separate entities 

 maintain their separate and distinct existence. 

 The electric theory explains and elucidates all nat- 

 ural philosophy and all material phenomena, and is 

 as a scientist has well said, "the best exposition ever 

 offered of the physics and metaphysics of the uni- 

 verse." 



In regard to another phase of natural philosophy, 

 Kant proved that in our experience objects can be 

 known only in relation to a subject, and matter only
