THE BRUTE INHERITANCE.


We ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting
for our adopton-to wit, the redemption Of our
body.-Romans viii, 70.
1t is a fact-we are still waiting, still
groaning over the problem. Progress in
civilization is simply the mark Of our at
tainment in our effort to throw off the
brute inheritance. l believe that, as
clearly as a scientific hypothesis can be
established, the theory Of evolution is
practically established. 1t seems TO me
to harmonize more clearly with the Bible
than any theory Of creation have ever
read, and TO be the only rational explana-
ton of the method God used in making
man. cannot see how it was possible
for God to cut man out Of whole cloth,
as tailor would cut coat out of piece
of goods. 1t is not Gods way of doing
things, and cannot conceive that it is
the way he made the world from the be-
ginning.
Real progress toGGy = developed in
proportion to our elimination of tho
brutal In life and society. Are we max
ing progress2 Yes, we are. / believe
that tho world is better today than it
was yesterday, and that there is con
tinuous progress through the centuries.
AS | study history | see man slowly
emerging from moro brutal into a
