EVOLUTION.
Rev. Or. Oalton's Fifth Saturday
Lecture.

Rev. DR.. Dalton delivered the fifth lecture
in his course Saturday afternoon. taking as
his subject Evolution by Natural Selec-
:ion."
The phrase Natural Selection" said the
lecturer, is preferred in lecture like this,
because it is clearer than others. 1t denotes
that law OF nature which regulates the in
crease of all things that live and grow From
the microscopic animal organisms which con-
stitute the lowest form of life, the theory of
evolution assumes that all forms Of living be-
ings have been derived. The essential thing in
nature is intelligent purpose and originating
power. Natural selection is the law by which
the weakest 60 to the wall, while the fittest
survive. of the existence and operation of
this law, there can be no doubt BY the
fittest, however, it is not necessarily meant
the best, or highest in organization. Inferi-
or races of men will flourish in climates
where the superior would disappear. The
negro races were made for the tropics and
the tropics for them.
The Aryan race seeks the temperate zone
of the earth. OF its several branches, the
Greek and Latin have been the imperial
powers Of the pastsas the Slavic and Teuto-
mic are of the present and future. From
their senates go forth the laws, from their
schools the learning, from their galleries the
art, and from their churches the moral stand
ard 5, which govern the nations. They gov
ern the rest by natural selection, because
they have grown to be the fittest and will be-
come still more fit to do 50, the fittest moral
ly and intellectually.
1t is by this law all real progress has been
made hitherto, and will be hereafter
BY this law of natural selection, republics
Will soon supersede monarchies and oligar-
chies in the political sphere; free churches,
state churches, universal education, general
ignorance; and science, superstition, as al
ready increase of knowledge has, disproved
old beliefs and ideas. The solution
and satisfaction will come too not by striv-
ing and crying in the streets, not by magnifi-
cent manifestoes, but by silent Irresistible
manifestations of the truth to the mind. Not
he that asserts most loudly, but he that can
prove most clearly, will prevail. Assump-
tlonS Will not always pass for demOnstra-
tlons of the truth and the right for reason
is to rise higher and shine forth more clear
ly. Ideas are rapidly becoming stronger
than arms. The press, the pulpit and plat
form are now more potent than Bedford fails,
London towers, French bastlles and Spanish
dungeons, In this sense, there is nothing
good or evil, but thinking makes it so."
Whatever concerns the public welfare will
survive or perish, as it meets the ordeal of
Natural Selection" guided by reason and
controlled by conscience which when en-
llghtened, are the highest of human powers,
and the purest reflection in man of the
divine mind
