1t is the same in the realm of thought. il
! We desire TO maintain Il firm attitude as think
! ing men we must adjust our theology to the
| knowledge OF our time. We are often asked
| now to harmonize certain scientific conclusions
with certain doctrines? That is onr task. we

Moreover we should do it with a firm faith
| that truth is OF infinitely more Importance than
| any theory, however venerable. anu that we
| can safely follow where she leads, The theory
| OF evolution teaches That man had lowiy
| origin.
The Adam of the poets and especially Of
Milton, was possessed OF the knowledge OF
| modern theoiogian and philosopher. and IS far
! from being the Adam OF Genesis or o. science
! Looking at the facts OF cmbryology tho history
Of species, as presented by Fossil. remains; the
| structure OF human language and the continual
| progress OF the race, owing to the struggle for
existence We are compelled to conclude that
man was once in state OF brutcliood. That
human speech and language are the products
OF long course OF evolution from the :udest
and simplest beginnings is one OF the most
evident facts. Primitive man had TO inveh.
! words to express his enlalgeing thoughts and
that it took him many ages to do this we can
easily believe.
