/ that Stls human lHugs arc only a swim
bladder showing that ne once foated
or were amphibious. He says the

by force of will just as a horse lifts its
ear at a frightful object. He says the

From primal germ to tadpole, from
| tadpole to fish, from fish to reptile,
from reptile to wolf, from wolf 10 Chin
panzee, and from chimpanzee to man.
Now, if anybody says that the Bible
account of the starting of the human
race and the evolutionist account of
the starting of the human race are
| the same accounts, he makes an appal-
ling misrepresentation.
Prefer, if you will, Darwin's Origin
of the Species to the book of Genesis,
but known you are an infidel AS for
myself, as Herbert Spencer was not
present at the creation and the Lord
Almighty was present, 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 postpone Him, and
to put Him clear out of reach, l ask a
question or two. The baboon made
the man and the wolf made the bab-
oon, 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: eve don't
know" Others say it made itself.
Others say it was spontaneous genera
| ton. There is not one of them who
will fairly and openly and frankly and
emphatically say. "God made it."
The nearest to 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 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.. Huxley, who made the proto-
plasm?
To show you that evolution is in
fdel, place the Bible account of how
the brute creation was started opposite
W GhC hSOOAhU1 "a INV
way the brute creation was started.
Bible account: You know the Bible
tells how that the birds were made at
one time, and the cattle made at an
other time, and the fish made at an
other time, and that each brought
forth after it's kind. Evolutionist's ac-
count: From four or five primal germs
or seminal spores all the living Great
ures 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 of science.
A species never developes into any
thing 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 ever.
If there be an attempt at 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 if there had been
four at starting. If / should say to
you that the world is fiat, and that q
circle and square are the same, and
that twice two make Is, would come
just as near the truth as when these
evolutionists tell you that 100000 spe-
cies came from four. Evolution would
have been left out of the question with
its theory fatty contradlcting all
observation and all 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. l have
shown you also what evolution teaches
in regard to it.
Agassiz says that he found in a reef
of Florida the remains of insects 10000
years old-not three, but $4,000 years
old-and 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 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-
GRATED guesses of evolutionists.
To show that evolution is infdel /
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 Hghts-the one to rule the day
the other to rule the night; He made
the stars also. Evolutionist account:
Away back in the ages, there was a
fire mist or star dust, and this fire
mist cooled off into granite, and then
this granite by earthquake and by
storm and by light was shaped into
mountains and valleys and seas, and SO
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 of the fire mist into granite?
You have pushed God some 60,0o0,000
or 70, 900. .001 miles from the earth, but
lie is too near yet for the health OF the
evolution. For a great while the evo-
lutionists bostcd that they k1d found
The very stuff out of which tais 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
gas. They laughed in triumph because
they had found the faetory where the
worlds were manufactured, and there
was no God anywhere around the fac
| tory! But in an unlucky hour for inf
