existed four or five primal germs or planI
spores, andlthese developed all the liv.
ing creatures of the ages. First there
was vegetable stuff, perhaps mush.
room. That mushroom deyeloped by
its innate force into something like q
jelly-fsh, and the jelly-fish by innate
force developed into tadpole The
tadpole developed into a snail. -
The snail, by innate force, deyeloped
into turtle. The turtle, by innate
force, developed into a wolf, and the
wolf into dog, and the dog developed
into baboon, and the baboon developed
into a man. Darwin says our lungs arc
a swim-bladder, showing that we once
a0ated and were amphibious, and the
ears were once movable as easily as that
of horse when he lifts them at some
frightful object. From plant to polly
wog, from pollywog to insect, from in
sect to fish, from fish to reptile, from
reptile into monkey, from monky into
man. Now, any one who says that this
evolutionist account of the creation Of
man is not different from the Bible ac-
count makes an appalling misrepresen
tation. Prefer which account you please.
Take Darwin's original of species in
preference to the book of Genesis; il so
you will understand that you are an in
hdel. AS for myself, since Herbert
Spencer was not present at the creation
OF the world, and the Lord God was,
shall take the divine account of what
really happened on that occasion.
Let me sec how honest these cvolu-
tionists are, and see whether it is not a
strategem by which to eject the Creator.
You tell me that the monkey made man.
and the dog the monkey, and the rep.
tile the quadruped, and the pollywog
the reptile, and the primal germ the
pollywog. Please, sir, tell INC who made
the primal germ They say I'VE don't

lutionist scientists who will squarely,
openly and emphatically answer-God
Herbert Spencer comes nearest to di-

Huxley, who made the protoplasm ?
| put in opposition to the evolutionists'
account the Bible account of how the ami
mails were made, the birds at one time,
the cattle another time, the fish another
time, by the hand of God, and that then
they brought forth each after its kind.
Evolutionists theory: Some Of them say
that there were four primal germs, and
others one germ, but from this developed
all the innumerable species of birds and
beasts and reptiles and insects and fish
hundreds of thousands Of different kinds,
from ono or four primal germs. Thus
they not only contradict the Bible, but
contradict all the facts Of all the coun-
tries. Bird or beast, or reptile or fish
of one species never developed into any
other species. A shark never comes Of
whale, nor sheep from COW, nor
pigeon from yulture, nor butterfly
from wasp. The eyolutionists' state
ments that all the creatures that swim in
sea, or fiy IN air. or walk the earth come
OF one OF four primal germs would have
been laughed out Of the universe il it
we're not for the fact that in order to
a
crush the Bible and drive God out of the
world infidel scientists and their disci-
Piles are willing to do anything even
though it take them into idiotic abb
surdity. On the walls of cities buried
thousands OF years ago there have been
found representations of horses, and cat
tie, and birds, showing that these crea-
lures of God at that day we're as they
are now. The mummies Of crocodiles
and dogs and cats cxhumed from the
tombs of Egypt are just like what those
creatures are now Agassiz says he
found in the reefs of Florida remains Of
insects 10000 years old precisely like
the insects now. They never developed
into anything except their own kind.
