Creation, we repeat, is but continuous evolution, bringing forth by natural selection,—“everything after its kind”—progressing onward year by year, developing more improved species and greater inventions. Evolution is but continuous creation. They are one, even as life and death are one. Lucretius wrote fifty years B. C., “Change is the law of things and is brought about by opposing forces.” Lucretius did not know that these opposing forces were but the attraction and repulsion, or positive and negative action of the one universal substance,—Electricity. The inherent eternal impulse (polarity, or sex) of the electrons composing the universal substance from which all things are evolved. Many of the great scientific writers, such as Kant, Darwin, Wallace, Hume, etc., had not seen this great light which the discovery and investigation of certain electrical phenomena has revealed and so could not account for this primal force in the universe, which they knew existed but could not define. Electricity is Life, and cosmic evolution is but the law of vibration of its eternal, universal being. All formations of worlds, planets, suns, stars, asteroids, etc., were rotated into form and position and continue their movements by this same universal law of vibration—the inherent, eternal impulse and energy of the one only substance—Electricity. Millions of ages have been evolved in the cosmos. All are subject to what is called decay or death, but, as Lucretius says, “What is will perish, but only to appear in another form.” All formations of nature in the universe are circular or spherical, thus proving their electric source or origin, and are but the completion of an electric circuit. Every stone, grain of sand and drop of water is rotated and rounded by this same electric vibratory impulse. What is true of our solar system, we may by deduction conclude is true of other systems, which may have gone through evolution and devolution many times in the countless aeons of the so called “past.” Combustion, radiant energy, what are these but modes of motion? A living, breathing, thinking organism called man, or an expiring puppy on the sidewalk, are but different modes of vibration of this one universal substance. From worlds to atoms, from atoms to monads, from monads to motion,—and we find the universe held in a solution of omnipotent, electric energy, just as salt is held in solution in the ocean. Well may we repeat the modern paraphrase— Praise law from whom all blessings flow, Praise protoplasm here below, Praise matter, evolution tossed, Praise force, the only Holy Ghost.
