Perhaps they had some piety, and paid worship of the silent sort to God! It is needless to say that there is not even the semblance of a proof of there being any such capacities in the original atoms or force-centres. If so, how did they come in ? Take one human capacity: how did consciousness come in? Herbert Spencer, the mightiest of them, would have us believe that he has answered the question, and yet he SENSATIOX. 31 has simply avoided it. In his " Psychology " ' he is speak- ing of nerves... for hundreds of pages ; he shows tliat in their development there is a succession of a certain kind ; and adds simply that " there must arise a consciousness^'' ! This is all he condescends to say, bringing in no cause or link or connection. Thus does he slip over the gap — a practice not unconnnon with this bold speculator. It is pertinent to ask, How did these things come in ? IIow did things without sensation come to have sensation ? things w^ithout instinct to have instinct ? creatures without memory to have memory ?
