The yeast-plant is so small that it can be seen only under the
microscope. Each yeast-plant consists of a closed sack or cell,
containing a jelly-like liquid named “protoplasm.” Under the
microscope the yeast-plant is seen to change in form. Sometimes
little swellings grow out, like knobs on a potato, and these
will by and by separate themselves from the parent and become
other yeast-plants. It is alive and growing.
“What we need,” said McLeod, “is not life, (from galvanism), but the
life of life”--Jesus himself. (Text.)
