On the earth thus far there has appeared only the cell 

 type of organized life, supplemented by more or less well-

 stratum of unicellular life has developed a complexity of 

 cell unions, organized as plants and animals. 



By virtue of this extended organization, the estate and 

 condition of all the cooperative cells have been greatly 

 improved, their tenure on life enormously lengthened, 

 their psychic power as enormously enhanced. 



From the Silurian ages there has been a continuous 

 progress, extending upward through plant and animal life 

 to human life in civilized communities, until as a result of 

 the whole grand scheme of organization, we have in the

 fied cell intelligence, where the cell (neuron) now lives a
