Wlicii time hccdiucs causation, tlieii persistence becomes 

 state and cliunge becomes event, '^llie state is constant as long- 

 as tlie body is constant; the event is varial)le. 



Wlien judgment l^ecomes conception, then conscionsuess Ije- 

 comes menioi-}' and choice becomes inference. Memory is con- 

 stant as U:)no- as tlie bod\' is constant, but inference is varialile. 



Quantities and properties are reciprocah Number is tlie 

 same thing- as class. We call it number when we consider 

 the particles of which the body is composed. We call it class 

 when we consider the body which they compose. For exam- 

 ple, here are ten hollow cvlinders. Organize them into a bodv 

 and thcA' become a gas stove. By their organization a new 

 kind of body is developed. Hollow cylinders become a stove, 

 though the cylinders i-einain cylinders. In like manner space 

 and form are reciprocal, motion and energy are reci})rocal, 

 time and causation are reciprocal, and, finally, judgment and 

 conception are reciprocal. 



Number, space, motion, time, ami judgment are quantities 

 that can be measured. Kind, form, energy, causation, and 

 consciousness are properties that can he classified. Tlie ([iian- 

 tities that can be measured and the properties that can be clas- 

 sified are the same things considered from difi'erent standjioints; 

 that is, one is the reciprocal of the others. 



There are still other relations which bodies bear to one 

 another. All the bodies of the universe have relation to human 

 beings, which are good or evil. These relations constitute 

 another grade of relativit}' and are qualities. The properties 

 give vise to qualities, for every property may produce a quality 

 when it is considered in relation to human purposes. A num- 

 ber may be few or mauv for a purpose. Ten cents ma}' be 

 few if we desire to purchase a dozen oranges, but 10 cents may 

 be many if w^e desire to purchase but two; yet the property 

 remains the same. A thousand dollars may be few if we desire 

 to purchase a farm, or nian\' if we desire to purchase a coat; but 

 the })roperty remains the same. A pane of glass may be small if 

 we desire to use it in an exhibition window, or it may be large 

 if w^e desire to use it in a carriage; but the propert}' remains the 

 same. A stone may be small if we use it in the foundation of
