ELECTRICAL THEORY SAVES FROM PANTHEISM 299 



producing all light, heat, vital force and so called 

 gravitation. 



Radium is one form of electricity or electrons in 

 marvelous combination and are said to have the 

 power, first, of giving out light perpetually without 

 any exciting cause; second, to emit rays that pen- 

 etrate solids like X-rays ; third, the property of act- 

 ing on sensitized plates; fourth, of causing air to 

 conduct electricity; and fifth, the emission of heat. 



Sir Oliver Lodge, in a May, 1893, London per- 

 iodical, shows the advance of science in recognizing 

 the forces of nature and the dominion of mind and 

 spirit over the material world. He affirms that : 

 "the whole effort of civilization would be futile if 

 we could not guide the powers of nature. The 

 powers are there, else we should be helpless; but 

 life and mind are outside of these powers and can 

 direct them along an organized course. And this 

 same life or mind, as we know it, is accessible to 

 petition, to affection, to pity, to a multitude of 

 non-physical influences; and hence, indirectly the 

 little plot of physical universe which is now our 

 temporary home has become amenable to truly 

 spiritual control." This sustains my contention 

 that the spirit life of man is outside of matter and 

 material powers and can control and direct them. 



This is truth, well spoken, and illustrates the 

 electric theory, for the powers of nature is the elec- 

 tric energy in nature, and this is guided, and under 

 the control of mind and spirit the mind or spirit 

 of man and the omnipotent spirit of Deity. And 

 the future will reveal the wonderful controlling 

 power of mind over matter through electric energy.
