The unity of the human race is denied
by the advanced" scientists of the present
day, who know more than the Bible, Gods
revelation to man. Darwin, Tyndsll, Hux-
ley and others are leaders in the promulga-
ton Of these new doctrines, if not the
originators of them. And now Mr.. Henry
Ward Beecher, cutting himself loose from
''the faith once delivered to the saints"
| joins himself to this modern school of
skepticism, rejects the Bible statement of
mans creation; asserts that "man and the
monkey were evolved in the same
| cradle;' declares be would sooner
derive "his origin from a monkey
than a mud-hiIl;" sneers at the idea of
Adams fall, and that sin is impaired to
man by his fall; and vigorously denies the
unity of the human race as descended from
one pair. The claim of our modern school
of skeptics is that geology and science dis
place the statements of the Bible in regard
to the creation of the world and the origin
of man, thus antsgonizing science and
revelation, and placing the statements of
the Bible on low plane of ignorance, in
congruity and Inconsistency, and stripping
from the faith of the world confidence
and trust in divine revelation. The
wisdom of the Divine Creator, pales be-
fore the profundity of these modern sol
entists. take them at their own word, and
they claim too, that men capable of pro-
found, philosophical, scientific induction,
cannot accept the statements and theo-
ries of the so-called divine revelation as
to the worlds creation, the origin of the
human species, the fall of man and the in.
PRODUCTION of sin into the world. And,
yet, the profoundest thinkers known to
ly with the Bible, to differ fromthis modern
school of wise scientists of
which, not only Darwin and
Tyndall and Huxley are Acknowledged

lures, to that of scientific, geological
evolution! Let US see. The profoundest
minds, minds before which other modern,
so-called scientists are but the veriest pig
mics, as q result of the fullest and most
thorough investigation of all the facts
entering into a proper understanding of
the momentous question, assert their sin
cere conviction and belief in the truth of
revelation, and proclaim their belief in
the Unity of the Human Race, and
that mankind are descended from single
pair, as recorded in holy writ. Names
as great, and as worthy of respect for
scientific attainments and capability to
say the least; a. our modern shool of skep-
tics, may be quoted. Wilhelm Won Hum
boldt, whose learning and abilities is IN
questionable, says: "The separate my Thu
cal traditions found to exist independently
of one another, in different parts of the
earth, appear to refute the hypothesis of
an original gregarious condition of man
kind, and they concur in ascribing the
generations of the human race to the
union of one pair. The general prevail
ence of this myth has caused it to be re-
garded as Evolutionary record transmit

ants" "Timely Topics" quoted last week
the testimony of the "Nestor" of Physical
Science, the world renowned Alexander
Won Humboldt, brother of Wilhelm, to the
same purport. DR.. James G. Pritchard,
the greatest writer who has treated of eth
nology (the science which treats of the
division of man into races, their origin and
relations, and the differences which char
acterized them), gives his testimony in his
report to the British Association for the
Promotion of Science, as follows: al may
venture to remark that, with the increase
of knowledge in every direction, we find
continually less and less reason for be-
lieving that the diversified races of men
were separated from each other by unsur-
mountable barriers" An obituary notice
of DR.. Pritchsrd, by DR.. Thomas Hodgkin,
read before the London chronological soci-
ETY., has the following paragraph: "Having
myself paid some attention to the ethno-
logical grouping of human skulls, must
confess that have found very considerable
difficulty in adopting points of character
istic difference, and in this very difficulty
find an argument in favor of the unity of
our species, and of the differ
ences we observe being those of variety
only" Chevalier J. Bunsen, in his
"Report to the British Association" sig
nifcantly and incisively says: "Physio-
logical inquiry inclines, on the whole,
towards the theory of the unity of the race,
and pathological inquiry tends more
and more to the same result
A high religious faith and low philoso-
ply of human nature must drive a think
ing and honest mind, if not into despair
and madness, iato comfortless, chilling
Indifference and stupor." If the authori-

and candid thinkers and scientists goes for
