ELECTRICAL THEORY SAVES FROM PANTHEISM 289 



This is superficial science, for it explains nothing. 

 Waves are simply a form of motion, and a form 

 of motion creates nothing. Vibrations of what? 

 Wave motions of what? Our learned friend does 

 not inform us. Vibrations and wave motions 

 are like heat sensations, they are not realities; the 

 force that creates them is the reality, and they 

 are but the mode or law of operation. The reality 

 the force creating these vibrations and wave motions 

 is electricity. Yet he does not mention this fact 

 or any cause, but gives all the credit to the motion 

 or manner of motion, and ignores the cause, which 

 is the most important of all. Mr. Titus seems to 

 think motion has consciousness, for he states that, 

 "the consciousness which is wrapped up in motion" 

 becomes more or less active in matter, and that 

 God sleeps in the atom, and man is a potential 

 deity. 



These wonderful manifestations of electricity are 

 used by these pantheists to bolster up their theory 

 of these being manifestations of intelligence in 

 nature. And so they are, but they should remem- 

 ber that nature is the art of God, not God him- 

 self and God's art is wise and perfect. We have 

 a new definition of life given us which shows won- 

 derful intelligence in the various parts of man's 

 bod}r. It is by Prof. Justus Gaule of Zurich. In 

 the American Journal of Psycology, January, 

 1903. He says : "The whole organism resembles 

 a chemical laboraory with as many apartments 

 as there are organs or glands." As all chemical 

 changes are electric changes, a chemical labora- 

 tory is the same as an electric laboratory. He con- 

 tinues : "The substances produced in each apart-
