ELECTRIC UNIVERSE ETERNAL 263 



is the law of electric repulsion ; and it is the cosmic 

 force which, with electric attraction, has built the 

 universe as a vast electric machine, and they will 

 forever preserve its integrity and existence, and the 

 sun, earth and universe are eternal. 



The world moves; knowledge increases, and science 

 is gradually broadening her conception of the har- 

 mony and endurance of the universe. The theory 

 of dead matter and blind force has been relegated 

 to the obsolete and discarded past, and been re- 

 placed by the recognition of ever-present life and 

 infinite grades of consciousness. 



The vast and varied factors in nature's problems 

 of eternal destiny point to our sun and earth as 

 a present existing and unending reality. Nature 

 builds up, tears down, and reproduces her organic 

 forms on the surface of planetary globes, but she 

 does not destroy her great sun magnets and world 

 magnets in the same manner, as many of our scien- 

 tists think. There is a great difference in the powers 

 and functions of suns and planets and the creeping 

 things on their surfaces. Suns and planets, after they 

 have attained their matured and balanced powers, 

 are immortal, and creating, enduring and perfected 

 organisms; and, like man in his immortal spirit, 

 they have attained to eternal life, and neither death 

 nor ruin can ever come near them. Suns and worlds 

 in their electric energy have the powers of creation, 

 and as the creator is always superior to the created, 

 they should not be judged alike. Therefore the 

 changing and transitory nature of many things 

 on the earth's surface is no proof that such will 

 be the earth's destiny. On the contrary, every liga- 

 ment of force and power in this electric universe is
