(5) More than two-thirds of the body's weight is water--that is, hydrogen and oxygen. The principal elements found in the body are oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, carbon. There are traces of sulphur, etc., besides the mineral substances above alluded to. Thus man is not made of dust, but of water, oxygen and hydrogen, nitrogen and carbon. If they had made God say that he made man out of water, he would have been much nearer the truth. Solomon repeats the same in his Eccles. iii, 20: "All go unto one place; all are of dust, and all turn to dust again." In the burial service the same absurdity is repeated. Alter your service, your prayer--put water in place of dust. Or better, give all the four elements a chance. Do not teach children we are made out of dust. It is not true. Teach the young what is true. What is the good of lying because some man said, God said so? The "breath of life." Is it not time that men of intelligence, in this age of progress and civilization we boast so much of, cease to pretend to believe such nonsense? It is absurd to talk of its being "parables" and "figures of speech." Either the text means what it says, or it means nothing. There has been an immense amount of controversy over two Hebrew words, viz.: nephesh--breath, respiring, life, life strength, animal soul; ruach--anamos, breath, wind, psyche, soul, spirit, etc. They thought that the life is in the blood. Lev. xvii, 11: "For the life of the flesh is in the blood." Gen. ix, 4, 5: "But the flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof," etc., etc. This controversy has given rise to no end of studies, as psychology--derived from the word psyche,--soul. The literature that has been expended on this subject, psyche, soul, cannot be easily estimated. The matter has been twisted into a science, discussed, argued, lectured on, etc. On the word Theo, Theon--Deos--God, societies and sects, etc., have been formed, as the Theosophists. What is the breath of life that caused so much controversy, in church and out of church? Oxygen. Deprive a man of oxygen and he dies. Deprive a beast of oxygen and it dies. Oxygen thus is essential to life. Neither man nor beast, as we said, can live without it. The issues which this has given rise to are bewildering--theological, metaphysical, Theosophical, philosophical, Agnostic, gnostic, spiritual, etc., etc. Oxygen, however, covers the ground. It represents all, so far as the life of a body is concerned. We now come to Paradise, or the garden of Eden.
