The nearest to a direct answer is
that made by Herbert Spencer in
which he says it was made by the
great ''unknowable mystery" But
here comes Huxley with a cup Of pro-
toplasm to explain the thing. This
protoplasm, he says, is primal life
giving quality with which the race
away back in the ages was started.
With his protoplasm he proposes to
explain everything. Dear Mr.. Hux-

or seminal spores all the living crea-
lures evolved. Hundreds of thousands
of species of insects, Of reptiles, of
beasts, of fish, from four germs-a
statement fatty contradicting not
only the Bible, but the very A b C Of
science. A species never develops in
to anything but its own species. In
all the ages and in all the world there
has never been an exception to it. The
shark never comes OF a whale, nor the
pigeon of a vulture, nor the butterfly
Of a wasp. Species never cross over.
II there be an attempt at it, II is
hybrid, and the hybrid is always ster-

These men Of science tell us that
100, 900 species came from four, when
the law all through the universe is
that, starting in one species IL keeps
on in that species, and there would be
only four now II there had been four
