Prefer, If you will, Darwin's "origiu
of the Species" to the book of Genesis,
but known you are an intidel. 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

question or two. The baboon IN .de
the man and the wolf made the bab-
Don, 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.

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 1t was made by the great "un-
movable mystery" But here comes
Huxley with Il 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-

tdel, 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 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. Evolutionists 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 b c 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 Il vulture, nor the butterfly
| of wasp. Species never cross over.
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 III 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 a
circle and square are the same, and
that twice two make Is, | would come
J Just as 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
it's theory fatty contradlcting all
observation and all science, had not it's
authors and their disciples being so set
on eiecting 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 30 900
years old-not three, but 30, 600 years
old-and they were just like the insects
now. There has been no change. All
the facts of ornithoogy 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 stuttify
myself by surrenderng to the eIab-
GRATED gues,es of evolutionists.
To show that evolution is infdel /
place also the Bible account of how
worlds were made opposite the evolu-
tionists account OF how worlds were
made. Mnle 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 back in the ages, there was
| 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 aud seas and 80
what was originally fire mist became
what we call the earth.
Who made the fire mist? Who set
the fire mist to world making? Who
