contends that the graBdest form Of or

mate development through countless

upon our globe. In other words
life, as we are acquainted with
lt, instead Of being the result of
dlstlnctcreatlve acts ls theresult OF grad
ual growth. Astronomers thus trace

ayerse, however, 20 the recognition of
our poor relations of aur half-human
ancestors OF the ape family, and hold
to the idea that man IS 20 different

a special act OF formation on the part
OF the Almighty. The gap between
man and the chImpanZee = much mar

ITS unbrOken process, just as surely as
1t does the nOnad or the ape. Man
as he exists today is the cOnsummate
development of 4 life principal, which
/ followed through rising forms of mani
festatOn can be traced back 10 the
simplest primitive life germ, which is
the simplest life stuff ont of which the
lowest vegetable and animal forms
emerge, the former through countless
ages of persistent change and trans
formation 10 ultimate III the giant

The ultimate result OF the theory is
! to bring forth man as the crowning
intent of the Almighty.
II dcathin the past was only n stage
/ Of progress, really Il form OF new birth
for q higher life that emerged there
from. who shall say that it IS anything
different now with man? There Is no
evidence OF higher order OF being TO
take the place of man, but there is
! much evidence which shows that he is
far from a completed state. lie may
may ba perfect physically, but there IS
higher moral state. Life disappears
in death only to roappear in a higher
form OF lie. Man passes, not expires.
