9P the Species to the book Of Genesis,
but krow YOU are an inEdel. 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 ask a
question or two. The baboon made the
man, and the wolf made the baboon,
and the reptile made the Quadruped,
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 evolutlonlsts
say. we don't know Others say It
made itself. Others say it was Spontaoo
neous generation. There is not one OF
them who will fairly and openly and
frankly and emphaticaliy say, God
made it.
The nearest to direct answer is that
made by Herbert Spencer in which he
saws it was made by the great 'un-
movable mystery. But here comes
Huxley with a cup of protoplasm to OK
plain the thing. This protoplasm, re
says. is primal life giving quality with
which the race away back in the ages
was started. With his protoplasm he
nroDoSes to explain everything. Dear
Mr.. Huxley, who made the protoplasm?
To show you that evolution is infdcl
| place the Bible account Of how the
brute creation was started opposite to
the evolutionists 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 another time,
and the fish made at another time, and
that each brought forth after its kind.
Evolutionist'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
scrms-a statement fatty contradict
Ing not only the Bible, but the very y
B c Of science A species never de-
velops into anything but its own spe-
cies. In all the ages and IN all the
world there has never been an excep-
ton to it. The shark never comes OF a
whale, nor the pigeon Of vulture, nor
the butterfly of a wasp. Species never
cross ever. If there be an attempt at
it, it is hybrid, and the hybrid is al
ways sterile and has no descendants.
These men of science tell US that
100000 species came from four when
the law all through the universe IS that,
starting in one species, it keeps on that
species, and there would be only -four
now if there had been four at starting.
If should say to you that the wc.ld Is
fat, and that circle and a square are
the same, and that twice two make 10,
IwouI6 come just as near the truth as
when these evolationists tell you that
100, 900 species came from four. Evolu-
tiou would have been left out of ques-
ton with It's theory fatty contradicting
all observation and all science had not
its authors and their disciples been so
set on ejecting God from the universe
and destroying the Bible that they will
80 to any length, though : lead them
into idiotic absurdity. You see what
the Bible teaches in regard to 1t. 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 $1,000
years old-not 5000 but 80, 600 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-frst,
Every winged fowl after his kind.
Every creature after its kind. When
common observation and science cor
roborate the Bible, will not stultify
myself by surrendering to the elabor-
ated guesses of evolutionists.
Tosshow that evolution is intideI |
place also the Bible account OF how
worlds were made pposite 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 back in the ages there was tire
mist or star dust, and this fire mist
cooled of into granite, and then this
granite by earthquake and by srorn
and by light was shaped into mountain:
and valleys and seas, and so what wa:
originally fire mist became what We cal
the earth.
Who made the fire mist? Who sci
the fire mist to worldmaking? Who
cooled off the first mist into granite:
You have pushed God some 60, 1000, ,00(
| or 70, 900, 900 miles from the earth, but
he is too near yet for the health o!
evolution. For great while the evolu
tionists boasted that they had founc
the very stuff out of which this worlc
and al worlds were made. They liftec
the telescope and they saw it, the very
materal out ofwhich worlds made them
selves. Nebula of simple gas. The!
laughed in triumph because they hae
found the factory where the world:
were manufactured, and there was ne
God anywhere around the factory. Bu
in an unlucky hour for infdel evolution
lists the spectroscopes Of traunhofe,
and Kirchof were invented, by which
they saw into that nebula and found l
was not a simple gas, but was com
pound, and hence had to be supplied
from some other source: and that I'M
piled God, and away went their theor!
shattered into everlasting demolition.
So these infdel evolutionists so wan
dering up and down guessing through
the universe. Anything to push ava,
