Of his omDipot-nce, could make man than
could realize how out Of 5,C000 0OU ages

so for years he is trying to raise tantailed
pigeous and TO turn these fantail pigeons
iuto some other kind of pigeons or to have
them 60 into something that is not pigeon
turning them into quail or barnyard fowl
OF brown thrasher. But pigeon it is. And
others have tried with the OK and the dog
and the horse, bat they sta;d in their species
If they attempt to cross over, it Is hy-

into extinction. There has been only one
successful attempt to pass over from speech
less animal to the articulation Of man, and
that was the attempt which Bala IN Witnessed
in the beast that he rode, but au angel Of the
Lord with drawn sword soon stopped that
long cared rolutionist.

horse ''Oh, me- says Huxley IN his
L. ~, IL M
h. does rot want any God around the prem
ises. G3d did not make the horse. The
horse came of the pliohippus, ard the plio-
hippus came from the protohippus, and TIE
protohippus came from the miohippus, and
the miohippus came from the meshohippus,
and the meshohippus came from the orohip
pus, and so away back, al the living crea-
lures, we trace it in line until we get TO
the moneron. and no evidence Of divine in
termeddling with the creation until you get
10 the moneron, and that, huxley SIS, Is
of so low form of life that the probability
is it Just made itself CT was the result of
spontaneous generation. What a narrow
esclpe from the neces ssiry of having God.
as near as can tell, these evolutionists
seem to think that God at the start had not
made up his mind as to exactly what he
would make, and having made up his mind
partisily he has been changing it all through
the ages. believe that God made the world
as he wanted to have it and that the haTpi-
ness of all the species will depend upon their
staying in the species where they were
created.
Bat, my friends, evolution is not only in
hdel and athe;stic and absurd. 1t is bru-
,aEzipg in its tendencies. If there is any.
thing in the world that will makes man
bestisl in his habits, it IS the idea tha; he
was descended from the beast. Why, ac
cording to the idea Of these evoluticnists,
we are only superior kind of cattle, sort
Of Aide ney among other heards. To De
sure, we browse on better pasture, and we
have better stall and better accommodations,
but then we are only South towns among the
great iocks of sheep. Born of beast, to
die like beast, to die like beast, for the
eyolutiouists have no idea of a future world
They the mind is only superior part o.
the body. They say our thoughts are only
molecular formation. They gay when the
boiy dies the whole nature dies. The slab OF
the sepulcher is net milestone on the jour
ney upward, but q wall shutting US into eter-
dal nothingness. Veal die a!ike-the ccw,
the horse, the sheep, tie man, the reptile.
Aunihila,ion is the haven of the evolution
ist. From such s'ebchful and damp io.e
doctrine turn away. Compare that ijea Of
your origin an idea filed with the chatter Of
apes and the hiss i serpents aud th- croak
Of frogs-to an idea in one or TIC 81: 80
which l qaote from an old bocs Of more
than Denosthenic or Homeric CT Dantesque
power; What is man that thou art mind
ful ofbim? And the son Of man, that thou
yisitest him? Thou hast made him little
lower than the angels and hast crowned him
with glory and honor. Thou madest him
to have dominion over the works Of thy
hand. Thou hast put all things under his
feet All sheep and oxen-yea, and the
beasts of the field the fowl Of the air, and
the fish of the sea and whatsoever passe,h
through the paths of the seas. 0 Lord, our
Lord how excellent is ny name in all the
earth
How do you ise that origin? The lion
