race and the evolutionist account OF
the starting of the human race are
the same accounts, he makes an appal-
ling Misrepresentation.
Prefer, il you will. Darwin's ".Origin
of the Species" to the book OF Genesis,
but known you are an infidel- As for
myself, rs Herbert Spencer was not
present ct the creation and the Lord
Almighty was present, l prefer TO take
the Divine account as to what really
occurred on that occasion. To show
that this evolution is only an attempt
to eject God and to opostpone Him, and
to put Him clear out of reach, ask .
question or two The baboon made
the man and the wolf made the bab-
con, and the reptile made the quad
ruped, and the fish made the reptile,
and the tadpole made the fish, and
the primal germ made the tadpole.
Who made the primal germ? Most
OF the evolutionists say: I'VE don't
know" Others say it made itself.
Others say it was spontaneous genera
tion. THERE'S not one of them who
will fairly and openly and frankly and
emphatically say. '.God made it,
The nearest to q direct answer is that
made by Herbert Spencer in which he
says it was made by the great 'un-
movable mystery" But here comes
Huxley with a cup Of protoplasm to
explain the thing. This protopiasm,
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.. Huxley, who made the proto-
plasm?
To show you that evolution is in.
fidel, place the Bible account of how
the brute creation was started opposite
to the evolutionist's account, of the
way the brute creation was started.
Bible account: You know the Bible
tells how that the birds were made 1t
one time, and the cattle made at an
other time, and the fish made ut an
other time, and that each brought
forth after its kind. Evolutionist's ac-
count: From four or five primal germs
or seminal spores all the living Great
urcs 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 developes into any
thing but its own species. In oil the
ages and in all the world there has
never been an exception to it. The
shark never comes of q whale, nor the
pigeon of vulture, nor the butterfly
OF . wasp. Species never cross over.
II there be an attempt ut it, it Is hy-
brid, and the hybrid is always sterile
and has no descendants.
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 it keeps
on IN that species, and there would
be only four now il there had been
four ut starting. II should say to
you that the world is fiat. and that .
circle and square are the same, and
that twice two make Is, / would come
Just rs near the truth as when these
evolutionists tell you that 100. 900 spe-
cies came from four. Evolution would
have been left out of the question with
its theory fatty contradlcting all
observation and alI science, had not its
authors and their disciples being so set
ON ejecting God from their universe and
destroying the Bible that they will go
to any length though it lead them into
idiotic absurdity. You see what the
Bible teaches in regard to it. have
shown you also what evolution teaches
in regard to it.
Agassiz says that he found in reef
of Florida the remains of insects $1,000
years old-not three, but 10000 years
old-and they were just like the insects
now. There has been no change. All
the facts of ornitholoyy and zoology
and ichthyology and conchology, but
an echo Of Genesis first and twenty
first: Every winged foul after his
kind" Every creature after its kind.
When common observation and science
corroborate the Bible will not stultify
myself by surrendering TO the elab-
orated guesses Of evolutionists.
To show that evolution is infitlel /
place also the Bible account OF how
worlds were made opposite the evolu-
tionist's account Of how worlds were
made. Bible account: God made two
great lights-the one to rule the day.
the other to rule the night; He made
the stars also. Evolutionist account:
Away bnck in the ages, there was .
fire mist or star dust, and this hre
mist cooled OF into granite, and then
this granite by earthquake and by
storm and by light was shaped into
mountains and valleys and seas. and 50
what was originally fire mist became
what we call the earth.
Who made the fire mist? Who set
the fire mist to matchmaking? Who
cooled on the 6re mist into granite?
You have pushed God some 6o,Oo0, QUO
or "a, ,O0O. 900 miles from the earth. bat
He is too near yet for the health Of the
evolution. For . great while the evo-
lutionists bosted that they had found
the very stun out Of which this world
and all the worlds were made. They
lifted the telescope and they saw it, the
very materials out of which the worlds
made themselves. Nebula OF simple
gaa They laughed in triumph because
they had found the factory where the
worlds were manufactured, and there
was no God anywhere around the fac
tory! But in m unlucky hour for ind
del evolutionists the spectroscopes OF
Fraunhofer and KirchoR were invent
ed, by which they saw into that nebula
and found it was not simple gas, but
was = compound, and hence had to be
supplied from some other source. and
that implied . God, and away went
their theory shattered into everlasting
dem0lition.
So these infidel rcvolutlonists 20
Wandering up and down guessing
Through the universe. Anything to
Bush away back Jehovah from His en-
pire and make the one book which il
His great communication to the soul Of
the human race appear obsolete and
delusive. But am glad to know that
while some of these scientists have
gone into evolution, there are many
that do not believe it. Among them,
tine man who by most is considered
the greatest scientist we ever had this
side Of the water-Agassiz. A name
