cup of protoplasm TO explain tho thing.
This protoplasn, he says, is primal life Civ
ing quality with which tho race away back
I'm the ngcs was started. With his proto-
plasm he proposes to explain everything
Dear Mr. Huxley, who made che proto
2lasm?
To show you that evolution is iufidcl /
place the Bible account of how the brute
creation was started opposite to the evolu-
tionist's account of the way the brute
creation was started Bible account: You
know the Biblo tolls how that the birds
were made at one time, and the cattlo
made Mt another time, and the fish
made ut another time, and that each
brought forth after its kind. Evolution
list s account: From four or five primal
germs or seminal spores all the living
creatures evolved. Hundreds of thousands
of species of insects, of reptiles, of beasts,
of fish, from four gcrms-a statement fiat
ly contradicting not only the Bible, but
the very A Is G of science. a species new
en- develops into anything but its own spo-
cics. In ~. the ages and in all tho world
there has never been an exception to 1t.
The shark never comes Of n whale, nor tho
pigeon of n vulturc, nor the butterfly of
wasp. Species never cross over. If there
be an attempt at it, it is hybrid and tho
hybrid is always sterile and has no de-
sccndants.
These men of science toll us that 100, 900
species came from four when tho law all
through tho universe is that, starting in
one species, 1t keeps on in that species,
and there would be only four now ii there
had been four at starting. If l should say
TO you that the world is fiat and that n
Il
twice two make 10, would como just as
near the truth rs when these evolutionists
tell you that 100, 900 species camo from
four Evolution would have been left out
of question with its theory fatty contra
dieting all observation and all science had
not its authors and their disciples been so
set on ejccting God from the universe and
destroying the Bible that they will go to
any length, though it lead them into
idiotic ahsurdity You see what the Bible
teaches in regard TO it, / have shown you
also what evolution teaches in regard to il.
Agassiz says that he found in reef of
Florida the remains of insects 30, 900 years
old-not 5000 but 10000 years old-and
that they were just like the insects now.
There has been no change. All the facts of
ornithology and zoology and ichthyology
and conchology but an echo of Genesis
first and twenty first, Every winged fowl
after his kind" Every creature after its
kind. When common observation and sci
encc corroboratc tho Bible, / will not stul-
tify myself by surrcndcrinR to the elabor-
atcd guesscs of cvolutionists.
To show that evolution is inndcl place
also the Bible account of how worlds were
made opposite the cvolutionist's account
of how worlds were made. Bible account:
God made two great lights-thc one to
rule the day, the other to rule the night;
hc made the stars also. Evolutionist ac-
count: Away back in the ages there was
u fire mist or star dust, and this fire mist
cooled off into granite, and then this gran
lite by earthquake and by storm and by
light was shaped into mountains and val
lcys and seas. and so what was originally
fire mist became what we call the earth.
The First Cause.
Who made the fire mist? Who set tho
fire mist to matchmaking? Who cooled off
the fire mist into grantee You have
pushed God some 90, 600, 900 or TO- 000, 900
miles from tho earth, but he is too near
yet for the health of evolution. For u
great while the cvolutionsts boosted that
they had found the very stuff out of which
this world and all worlds were made.
They lifted the telescope and they saw it,
the very material out Of which worlds
made themselves. Ncbula of simple gas.
They laughed in triumph because they
had found the factory where the worlds
were manufactured, and there was no God
anywhere around the factory. But in an
unlucky hour for infdcl cvolutioniSts tho
spcctroscopes of Fraunhofcr and kirchoff
We're invented, by which they saw into
that ncbula and found 1t was not u simple
gas, but was "A compound, and hence had
to be supplied from some other source and
that implied q God, and away went their
theory, shattered into everlasting dcmoli-
ton.
/ So these infldcl evolutionists go wander
ing mp and down guessing through tho
universe. Anything to push away back
Jehovah from his empire and make the
one book which is his great communica-
/ ton to the soul of the human race appear
obsolete and dcluSivc But | am glad To
| know that while some of these scientists
/ have gone into evolution there are many
that do not believe IL, among them the
man who by most is considered the great
est scientist we ever had this side of tho
watcr-Agassiz, name that makes every
intelligent man the earth over uncover.
AgaSSi2 says: 1.-The manner in which
the evolution theory in zoology is treated
would lead those who are not special Zoolo-
gists to suppose that observations have
been made by which it can DO Inferred
That there Is in nature such "A thing as
ihangc among organized beings actually
taking place There is no such thing on
record, 1t is shifting tho ground of OBJ
scrvation from one field of observation to
another to make this statement, and when
the assertions go so far rs to exclude from
the domain of science those who will not
be dragged into this miro of mere assertion
then il is time to protest"
With equal vchcmcncc against the doc
trine of evolution Hugh Miller, Farraday
Brewster, Dana, Dawson and hundreds of
scientists in this country and other coun-
tries have made protest. ] know that tho
few men who have adopted the theory
make more noise than the thousands who
have rejected it, The Bothnia Of the

The 800 made any excitement. But after
we had been four days out, one morning,
we found on deck mans hat and coat
and vest and boots, implying that some
one had jumped overheard, Forthwith
we all began TO talk about that one man.
There was more talk about that one man
