haes@' tathRHs
We had no idea In what We said ycsicr-
day in regard TO tho position Of the Pres
bytcrian Church Of the South toward DIR.
Woodrow as the advocate Of q diluted OF
modified form Of evolution, Of presenting
ourselves In the attitude Of controversy.
We simply intended TO bc understood as
rcstating the position Of tho Presbyterian
Church toward evolution n expressed by
the synods who opposed the employment
Of Dr. Woodrow as Professor In the The.
illogical Seminary nj Columbia, s. C., and

bend, 10 Prcsbytcrans, outweigh the

many able men who have fully believed
in God; but here again see how poor an
argument this is. The safest conclusion
seems TO me that the whole subject IL be-
yond the scope Of mans intellect; but
man can do his duty" And this disbe-
lief, he says Oh page 27S, ''crept over me
at very slow rate, but was at last COM
plete. The rate was so slow that felt no
distress. gradually came to dis
believe In Christianity" On page 2sl he
explains that no had bccnlcd bya feeling Of
deep inward conviction, "(although do
not think that tho religious sentiment was
ever strongly developed in mel to the firm
conviction OF the existence OF God and OF
the Immortality OF the soul" And on
page 2S2 he concludes 1.-THE mystery
OF tho beginning Of all things is in
soluble by us; and l for one must be
content TO remain an agnostic." AS
10 Prof. Asa Gray, for whom Darwin in
his letters expresses the highest esteem
as one OF the iirst among scientists. he says
in letter TO Miss Wedgwood (page 2S3)
that he cannot see proofs Of providential
design even in the structure Of scntient
being, and in this differs with Prof. Grey,
who, with some other scientists, looks
upon each variation, or at least at each
beneficial variation as having been provi-
dentialy designed. Yet, when ! ask him
whether he looks ut each variation in
the rock pigeon, by which man has
made by accumulation n poutcr OF fan
tail pigeon, ms providcntiallY designed
for mans amusement, he does not
know what to answer" This marks
a wide divergence, an irreconcilable d.
vergencc, Of view between the author Of
tho "0rign Of Species" and Prof. Grey,
whom Huxley, tho greatest exposition OF
Darwinism, and the scientist nearest to
Darwins heart classed with the Recon-
oilers, class ''in which. says Mr.. Glad
stone, In his "Proem 10 Gencsis-a
Reply 10 Prof. Huxley" Popular Sci
ence Monthly, March, 1886, page 6ii),
che places me. and for which he
had an unconcealed and unmcasured
scorn. These are they who impose upon
man burden Of false science In tho name
Of religion" And Mr.. Gladstone, further
explaining his position, says he is much
biased in favor Of Evolution "by what
conceive 10 be lis relation 10 the great ar
gument Of design" And this In the face
OF the fact that Darwin, the author and
expounder Of Evolution, secuted design In
his correspondence with Prof. Asa Gray.
But with all this, We do not pro-
pose TO DO drawn into conlro-
vcrsy. We stated yesterday that we
did not believe that the Presbyterian
Church could he linked TO the doctrine Of
evolution, even by DR.. Woodrow's Adam.
