The Virginia enterprise., 1909-10-15

In some respects the effect of the
glacial period upon animal life and
distribution was even more peculiar
than that on plants. During that Pc
riod large number of arctic species
were crowded down into central Eu-
rope and into the middle and north
ern states of the Atlantic coast and
Mississippi valley. In company with
mans remains there are found those
of the grizzly bear, the Irish elk, the
reindeer, the musk OK and the arctic
fox, while the ibex and the chamios,
which now occupy the high mountain
crags, descended to the valleys. Sew
eral of these northern species now ex-
tinct were also present in these tenn
perate regions.
The indirect effect of this incur
sion of arctic animals into the tenn
perate zone was to cause the de-
struction of many animal for4As
which already occupied the region.
Just before the glacial period there
were living in America two extinct
species of the cat family as large as
lions, four species of the dog family
as large as wolves, while the walrus
was found in Virginia, the sea COW
in South Carolina. There were also
living six species of horses, the South
American tapir and llama, a camel,
two species of elephant and two Of
mastodons, species of megatherium.
three of megalonyx and one of mylo-
don-huge terrestrial sloths as large
as the rhinoceros or even as the ele-
phant. All these and several more
species were either destroyed by the
competition of the northern animals
or were driven back into South Amer
lea. The destruction of so many wide-
ly spread species of animals occupy
ing North America just before the
glacial period is one of the most
startling revelations of geology.

world is by agreed what actually constitute
Christian principles but those outside the pale of ortho-
dox Christianity almost as unit as to what Is meant
thereby.
Blind unreasonng faith; simple credulity passive be-

These are pre-eminenty Christian principles, and it is
glorious fact that the world rapidly Ougrowng them.
They are adapted human life and progress They
incapable of mnisterng to the wants and needs OF
humanity The great world of commerce. the professional
and industrial worlds ignore them. All human progress
has been accomplished learned to rely less and less
upon Christian principles. When Christian principles
acuaed the world at standstill The higher
the race develops the wider grows the gulf between human
activities and socalled Christian principles
The modern physician eminent and skilled in his pro-
fesson makes no attempt to diagnose human ailments
from Christian principles, but from the light accorded him
through physiological law acquired from scientific expert
ment and investigation. Our entire system of Juris-
prudence is built upon certain fundamental physical equi-
ties arising of the social contract sometimes perverted,
but Christian principles do figure in judicial DEGREES,
unless in of perverted mentality by the occupant of
the bench The merchant the business man. the trader do
undertake to compute profit and loss by any system
based upon Christian principles but from strict mathe-
maca law in vogue long before any knowledge given
of Christian principles The different branches of natural
science with their minute eXacons careful calculation and
patient observation have been carried to systematic per-
lection independent and in spite of Christian principles,
and as all the departments here enumerated peculiarly
of this world and only this world, the secular philosophy
must apply, and all theological dica is admittedly, gi
gantic mistake
Christian principles built upon faith!
Freehought Secular principles, built upon work!
Christian principles offer atonement of blood as
medium for forgiveness from sin and its consequences
Freehought, Secular principles, insist that must
each face the natural and inevitable consequences of
wrong-doing.
Christian principles teach that mans first duty is towards
imaginary god.
Freehought, or Secular principles insist that mans first
