The Origin of Species,

There are three possible views in regard to
the origin of species The first asserts Divine
agency by miraculous creation, and therefore
denies any process; the second asserts evolu-
tion process, but denies Divine agency; the
third asserts Divine agency by evolution
process. So, also, are there three correspond
ing views In regard to the origin of the individ.
ual-of you, of me, of each of us. The first is
that Of the little innocent who thinks that God
made him as he (the little innocent makes
dirt pies; the second is that of the little hood
lum who says, 81 wasn't made at all;
growed;" the third is the usual adult belief
that we are made by process of evolution.
Do you not observe, then, that in the matter of
the origin of species many good theologians
and pietists are in the position of the little
innocent? They think that species were made
without natural process. On the other hand,
most evolutionists are in the position of the
little hoodlum; for they think that species,
But there is higher and more rational philos-
ophy than either, which holds that the ideas of
making and of growing are not inconsistent
with each Other-that evolution does not and
cannot destroy the conception of or the belief
In an intelligent Creator and Author of the
cosmos. This view combines and reconciles
the two preceding antagonistic views, and is
therefore more comprehensive, more rational
and more true. But let us not fail to do JUS
tice-let us not overlook the fact that the most
important and noblest truths are overlooked
only by the hoodlum and materialist.

The Autocrat Of the Sanctum.

There is nothing like being bloated auto
crat of the sanctum, while next door one hears
the poor laboring man toiling at ninepins in a
bowling alley. The editor tolls not, and nei-
ther does he spin, and yet Mrs. jerks in all her
glory is not arrayed like one of these. While
all humanity is sweltering and swearing-and
wondering where they can hang up the bar
keeper for glass of beer-the editor has moth
ing to do. Two or three columns of editorials
to write and no pitch hot; two or three hun
dreds of exchanges to read through; as many
bores to bounce, letters to answer, manuscript
to read, till one cannot tell English from San
scrit-this is mere bagatelle, when the ther-
mometer is on the ragged edge of the nineties.
As we said before, the editor heartily despises
a man who works for living, and listens with
sardonic satisfaction to the sound from the
bowling alley next door, where the poor man
slaves and swears. 1t makes such contrast
to his luxurious idleness.-Rochester Erpress.
