But the answer. I venture lo submit is this: The full or complete solar energy which is the source of all molion in the world—it is this complete solar energy which onables the various elements io cohere and unile in the formation of life. Without the onergolic impulses of the solar force. they could nover have uniled; ond, except for such union, ihis malerial hurnon body could never have been inspired with Life. It is the sun which generales such gases as oxygen, hydrogen, nifrogen etc., and it is the same sun which, with the aid of the electrons thrown of from ils systern, unites ihe different clemenis and inspires them with the principle of life. But the sun is noi content with merely iInparting the gift of life : by II)€ô rhS of his luminous beams, he relieves the various ailmenis of ihe body and helps to preserve and sustain our life. Going słill further we may say ihat the sun not only gives and maintains Life— with the aid of the electrons (which are the stuff of electricily), he increases the energy of life and adds lo the various amenities of existence.
