 "Ye didn't know it, Hlnnissy. bus 'tis firm tn, pleasant watheYs iv tn lakes in Vinzwala that our sthreets an our aidhermen are made so splendid an so slippery. 'Tis so.

 I can not leave this part of the subject without an attempt to correct a wrong impression of the significance of the terms struggle for existence and mental ideas to which Darwin has given expression in the above are so simple as to be almost extomatio and can be confirmed by the most elemen- tary observations. But note. the out- come of the struggle must be not the good of the individual only but the good of the species. Gaddes and Thom- son have given us Q clearer insight in- to this phase of the question. An il-, Iustration will help us here. Many of you may have heard the description given by pr. Schumacher of the feeding of the nestlings- by the mother bird. She brings to the nest @ fat worm or grub. The little nestlings struggle to the edge of the nest, crowdin6 one another, the greedies, most successful crowder gets the morsel. and none of the others get any thing until thtS strongest one Is filled up. Then the next strongest has his turn and So on. but before the weakest gets anything at all the first fellow Is hungry again. and so 1t may happen that the weakest one dies It is natures way, said pr. Schumacher, and he is perfectly correct. 1t Is one Of the examples of the elim- ination of the unfit. But pr. Schmuc- ker failed to call your attention to all the details of the picture. This ineom- plete picture has heen accepted by many as natures way. It seems to have been in Tennyson's mind when he wrote the 55th and 56th sections of Tn Memoria. You will recall the passages-So careful of the type she seems so careless of the single life Of fifty seeds she often brings but one to bear-Nature red in tooth and claw with ravine. It seems to have entered into the philosophy of some peoples lives, and by k they seek to justify an utterly selfish policy. It has led to the description of nature as a dismal cock pit a vast sladitorial show. This Is because men have stopped short with a half truth. In order to complete the picture we must give our attention

Wan iv tn anecdotes about him is that he become q pathrite an rivoiutionist in this way: He was leadin' tn life iv tn ordhriny Vinzwalan gintleman. tendin' his rubber orchards till they were fruited deep with overshoes an chiidrhrens pacifiers. dhrawin' his mornin' coffee fresh firm tn three in his front yard, watchin' tn trantuly an tn scorpion frisk in tn garden ~an' comin' home at night to his simple re- past iv red peppers seasoned with chicken.

Tn the fifty years that have elaps- sd since the publication of Darwin's ~origin of species'i a greater change has taken place in the mode of human thinkine than during any proceeding rniIieniun. There is scarcely q depart ment of human interest in which have not been felt ths vitaiizing effects of the changed view of the world brought about directly or indirectly by the work of this man.
 The theory A1 evolution has given us a new biology and new geology. H mas become ehe working hxpotnems- ana those well qualified to speak on this point say the only hypothesis that works of the modern student of history. the sociologist, the languages. the student. of comparative religions. and indeed the theologian.

 Before the idea of the origin of spe- Cte9 OY 4GVOluLlOu B@AACo 8O1S~A ceptance through the work of Darwin and Wallace. it was generally believed that each species was created separate ly as such in the beginning. This idea became more and more intorierable the more mem learned of the vast vari- ety of animals that had existed in past geological ages. It was held that at the end of each geological period the then existing forms were destroyed py a vast cataclysm. and at the beginning of the next period new ones were creat- ed Lyeil showed that this idea was untenabIe as far as It's geological side is concerned--that there is no necess- ty to asume the occurrence of violent revolutions, but that all the changes that had taken place on the surface Of the earth could be accounted for by the factors now at work under our very eyes. But in spite of this the dogma of special creation of each spe- cies in fixed and unchangeable form was still adhered to.
