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 tadpoie. Who made
the primal germ? Most of the evolution
lists say: We don't know Others say
it made itself Others say Il was spon-
taneous generation. There is not one Of
them who viii fairy aud openly and
frankly and emphatical,y say, God made
it,"
The nearest TO a direct answer Is that
made by Eerbert Spencer in which he
says it was made by he great "unknowa-
bic mystery" But here comes Huxley
with a cup of protoplasm to explain the
thing This protoplasm he says is pri-
NAL life giving quality with which the
race away back in the ages was started.
With his protoplasm he proposes 10 ex-
plain everything. Dear Mr.. Huxley who
made the protoplasm?
To show you that evolution Is nhdel,
place Inc Bible account of how the brute
creation was started opposite to the evo-
lutiOnist's account Of the way the brute
creation was started. Bible account; You
know the Bible tells how that the birds
We're made at one time, and the cattle
made at another time, and the FISH made
at another time. and that each brought
forth after lis kind. EvolutiOnists ac-
count From four or five primal germs or
seminal spores all the living creatures
NNolNetl. hundreds OF thousands OF species
Of insects. reptiles. of beasts of fish, from
four germs-a statement fatty contradict
ing not only the Bible. but the very B
G of science. A species never develops INTO
anything but It's 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. Spe-
cies never cross over. If there be an at.
tempt al 1t, il is hybrid, and the hybrid is
always sterile and has no descendants.
These men Of science tel us that a hun
dred thousand 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
l should say to you that the world is fiat,
and that a circle and square are the
same and that twice two make fifteen, l
would come just as near, the truth as
when these .cVolutonists ten you that
hundred thousand species came from four.
Evolution would have been left out Of
question with its theory fatty contradict
ing all observation and all science, had
not its authors and their disciples been
so sci on eiecting God from the universe
and destroying the Bible that they will go
to any length though 1t leads them into
idiotic absurdity. You see what the Bible
teaches in regard TO il. I have shown you
also what evolution teaches in regard TO il.
Agassiz says that he found in a reef of
Florida the remains of insects 10000 years
old-not three, but 10000 years old-and
that they were just like the insects now.
There has been no change. All the facts
of ornithology and zoology and ichthyol-
gy and conchology. but an echo of Gene
sis first and twenty-hrst: EVERY winged
fowl after his kind" Every creature af-
ter its kind. When common observation
and science corroborate the Bible l viii
not stulufy myself by surrendering to the
elaborated guesses of evolutionists.
To show that evolution is infidel I place
also the Bible account of how worlds were
made opposite the eyolutionists account
of how worlds We're 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. Evoluuonist ac-
count: Away back i'm 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 orig
inaly fire mist became what we call the
earth.
Who made the fire mist? Who set the
fire mist to word-makiug? Who cooled
off the fire mist into granite? You have
pushed God some sixty or seventy million
miles from the earth, but he is too near
yet for the health of evolution. For a
great while the evolutionists boasted that
they had found the very stuff out of which
this world and all worlds We're made
They lifted the telescope and they saw it,
the very material out of which worlds
made themselves. Nebula of simple gas.
They laughed in triumph because they
had found the factory where the worlds
were manufactured, and there was no
God anywhere around the factory; But
in an unluckY hour for infdel evolution
lists the spectroscopes of Fraunhofer and
Kirchoff were invented. by which they
saw into that nebula and found it was not
a simple gas, but was a compound ana
hence had to be supplied from some other
source, and that implied a God, and away
went their theory shattered into everlast-
ing demolition
So these inldol evolutionists go wan
dering up and down guessing through the
universe Anything to push away back

ton to the soul of the human race appear

know that while some of these scientists
have gone into evolution, there are many
that do not believe it. Among them, the
man who by most is considered the great
est scientist we ever had this side Of
the water-Agassiz. A name that makes
every intelligent man the earth over I'M

Agassiz says: "The manner In which

would lead those who are not special
biologists to suppose that observations
