  	    Naturalists ask: "What can there be, of a material
18	nature, transmitted through these bodies called eggs, — 
  	themselves composed of the simplest material	                             Transmitted
  	elements, — by which all peculiarities of an-	                                     peculiarities 
21	cestry, belonging to either sex, are brought down from
  	generation to generation?" The question of the natu-
  	ralist amounts to this:  How can matter originate or trans-
24	mit mind? We answer that it cannot. Darkness and
  	doubt encompass thought, so long as it bases creation on
  	materiality. From a material standpoint, "Canst thou
27	by searching find out God?" All must be Mind, or
  	else all must be matter. Neither can produce the other. 
  	Mind is immortal; but error declares that the material
30	seed must decay in order to propagate its species, and
  	the resulting germ is doomed to the same routine.
