BLOOD CUTS NO FIGURE.
Mr.. 0Tme Gives Out a Few Pointers On
the Subject Of HeTedity.

He Talks on the Subject of Business
Versus Birth-He Does Not Think
Darwinians Will Ever Find the Miss
ing Link-He Don't Think 1t Was a
Monkey Anyhow-A Hog More Like a
Man Than Any Other Animal Is.
Mr.. r. NJ. Orme delivered a very enter
tanning lecture last night in the Sunday
school room of the First Presbyterian
church on the subject Blood in Families,
or Business vs.. Birth" The attendance
was fair and the lecture was well received
throughout.
Mr.. Orme is evidently not much of
believer of the value of blood in families
He seemed to be a great believer in the
individuality of the human being. He said
he believed there was such thing as her
edity, but that there was something back
of that AS a combination of two or three
different colors makes a color that is gen
orally unlike either of those that entered
into the composition, so man is made
up he said, of a combination of tempera-
ments. the resultant of which may be
entirely unlike either of those which en-
tered into it.
Progress and development, he said, are
laws of nature, and it is natural that
son should be a superior man to his father
or daughter a superior woman to her
mother, and while the child may partake
of the natures of both, its conscience is
it's own, and each must be individually
responsible to God. He believed that
mans surroundings, his environment, as
sociations, and education make him what
he is. He told a story of a woman, a
nurse, who substituted her child for a
prince, and while her son was educated
as a prince, and became a prince, the real
son of the king grew up and labored as
her son would have done, had he remained
where he belonged. IF there is such a
thing as blood in families he asked,
why didn't that fellow who chopped wood
feel himself a man? Why didn't he feel
himself as good as prince?"
The lecturer dwelt on the fact that no
two brothers or sisters are found just eX-
actly alike as an illustration Of the fact
| that neither blood nor brains in families
| make the man or woman what he or she
! Is. NIGnluSs he ShlO came illlO Ailt W VI III
| ready to make it's own way. 1t is the power
| to make, while talent is the power to take
! in, asslnilate and then retail what has
| been learned.
Mr. Orme is a great disbeliever in Oar
| wins theory of the origin of species
| and the descent of man. He argued that
/ Darwin would never find his missing link.
! The animal, he said, died. perfect-it had
! nothing to learn, while man always dies
| imperfect-he learns something new TO the
| day of his death. Mr. LOrme said he did
! not want to go to heaven If he could learn
nothing there, and if there were nothing
| to do but play on a golden harp. He in
! sisted that man did not develop from q
monkey, gorilla or any animal of this
| kind.
IF a man were developed from any ami
NAL" Mr.. Orme said, 'he was developed
from the hog, for he's more like the hog
than anything else. There's more affinity
! between them. The hog eats everything;
so does man. The hog is thoroughly sell
| fish, another common characteristic. The
| hog is the only other animal that sleeps
with his fellow; they keep each other
warm and are sociable When Jesus cast
the devils out from the man, the devils
asked to be allowed to go into drove of
hogs The devils knew how close was
mans relation to the hog"
The conclusion which Mr.. Orme reached
| was that man was not evolved from any
animal but was a positive creation from
God. He stated too, that ancestry had
very little to do with mans intellectual
powers, his individual worth or his sue
| cess. He dwelt upon the power and influ-
ence of environment on mind and char
| acter as we'll as on the physical man It
| is incumbent on the parent, he concluded
to note what his child is cut out for and
| to see that he is educated to it,
