A few years ago Prof. Huxley pub
shed To the world the startling In
teiligenee that Il was formed from the
deep sea mud. Strangest OF all, he
afterw ards admitted that he WIS ms
taken.
Now. no end Of rid.eule Is made of
the fact that there are hundred dis
eordant beliefs n the church. a hun
tsred sects; but they are band OF
brothers, united by bands OF steel.
Dromio, Of Syracuse, and Drom-o, OF
Ephesus, are not more alike than are
they when compared with the antago-
nistlc theories. opinions and doctrines
OF modern scientists on the subject OF
evolution. Let the honorable lecturer
at Powers Opera House speak for
himself He may have been evolved
He may have his geneology. pedigree
and stock history, but the really sc.en-
rif.c men are few who claim that evo-
luton is proven fact as applied to
man
Prof. Seeiye. law president OF AM
brose College. quotes Prot. Huxley as
saying that among all the thirty
thousand OF animal species il is not
proven that a single one had an origin
by selection. These are all missing
links.
Wallace, who disputes with OAR
win the claim to have originated the
doctrine OF natural selection, expressly
excludes man from its operation.
There Is no greater German author
ity than Prof. vnehow. He says:
ION the whole we must really admit
that there Is complete absence Of
any fossile type OF a lower stage in
the development OF man."
NJ. de yariguy says the same; also
Prof. winchell and many others.
Again, Darw,n's theory OF natural
selection according to his own state
ments, required two Thousand five
hundred millions OF years since life
began on this planet. "for such ac-
erection OF anfinithssimal variations in
succeeding generations as would be
necessary TO bring the fauna and flora
Of the plant TO their present state"
but here comes in the natural philoso-
pher.
Sir william Thomson and Prof. Law
son TAFT. the very highest physicists,
declare that life has not existed on this
planet to exceed ten million OF years.
They state that ten million years ago
the underground temperature was at
least that OF red heat at depth OF
one thousand feet below the earth's
surface.
Guyot saws: "Any length Of time
that Darwin requires for his trans
format ons would nevor suffice to make
OF the monkey n civilized man." Prof.
Tyndall himself makes the statement
that "Those who hold the doctrine
OF evolution are by no means ignorant
OF the uncertainty OF their data. and
they only yield TO 1t a provisional
accent.
Van Benedin, OF the University OF
Louvain. says: The more we adj
vance In the study OF nature the more
profound in our convection that belief
In an Almighty Creator can alone re-
solve the enigma of nature as well
as that OF human life"

philosopher. A far better skull than

only does this not prove evolution.
but II It proves anything. it proves a
special creation.
These eyolutSou,sts or modern
philosophers have now been looking up
evidence on this point for three genera
tsors. The earth has been ransacked
from pole to pole. We have n right
to say that the evidence Is all I'm and
closed. We are not compelled TO adj
vance an opinion as TO the result.
