ELECTRICAL THEORY SAVES FROM PANTHEISM 291 



energy needed for itself and other parts of its 

 organism. 



It is true that solid metals, wood and stones are 

 in a constant state of molecular motion. Accord- 

 ing to Sir Norman Lockyer, ' ' the stones of which 

 St. Paul's Cathedral is built consist of millions of 

 millions of small particles called molecules, and 

 although the structure seems absolutely at rest, 

 as if it would last forever; yet, when you get down 

 into the intimate structure of each stone and every 

 part of the fabric, you get nothing but a multi- 

 tudinous ocean of motion." Now, Mr. Titus says, 

 " there is some inner hidden power which marshals 

 and controls the innumerable host of molecules in 

 all matter and keeps them whirling with tireless 

 energy." This is true, and I fully agree with him. 

 But he thinks it is the world-God in the atoms; 

 and I think it is electric energy working under 

 the intelligent laws of the world-God, the sun-God 

 and the God of the universe. 



All these pantheistic scientists have never con- 

 sidered the wonderful powers and utilities of electric 

 currents and electric energy which permeates all 

 matter, from atoms to worlds. When they do so, 

 they will see in electricity an intelligent and power- 

 ful causality which will satisfy their minds and 

 lead them away from pantheism and its follies. 



They are great believers in evolution, and so am 

 I, and what they require in evolution is, "the in- 

 herent power of the evolving entity to respond to 

 external influences." This being the requisite, they 

 have all they ask in the magnetic currents and elec- 

 tric energy pervading all nature. It is a fact that 

 the human body contains millions of microscopic
