on organic food and requires the

i've development Of the physical
world, it's successive beginnings in ex-
istance the mineral vegetable and
animal kingdom we are confronted
with a rotation of results so COM
plex in their details, and with a
history stamped with such uniform
ity in plan, such harmony in parts
and such wisdom of design, and, last
with the final completion, the special
preparation for the occupancy Of
man. TIL e whole face Of nature
seemed fitted and expectant OF the
crowning work Of creation and
watching for the family of Adam"
who was yet in the unborn future.
The evolution and establishment
of man in those awful solitudes of
earth was movement in a defin ite
direction, it was the sublime con-
ception, the product of a master pur-
pose, the coherent result Of one in
teligent mind, one creative power,
one Planner of Universe and it's oc-
cupants, one Architect of the world.
Even from the most elevated
standpoint of modern science, we
must see the hand of divine Arti-
ficer, who summoned man upon the
scene to begin the labor of his earth
ly life and assume the scepter of the
earth, and this man is the highest
point of creation, it's CULINARY pro-
duct, the completion OF the grand
column of organic matter and the
only animal capable of contemplating
Deity and the one who stands in
contact with it's Superior, and he is
the first of all animals who has liter
ally extended over the whole earth
and fulfilledthe command to take pos
session or 1t in it's use and enjoyment.
All the beneficient provisions of
the earth are at his command, the
coal was treasured in the recesses of
the earth. the gold, silver, copper
and iron is at his feet; the forests
yield him abundant supplies of tim
ber and fuel; the edible and medi-
cal vegetables are provided for him,
the nature of the domestic animals
was nodded for him.
If we glance over the long line of
organic history and observe how the
ascent from seaweed to man has cen
affected step by step ir regular sue
cession to the highest point of per-
fection and the supreme superior of
his series. we will naturally make
the inquiry-is man destined to be
the last term of series of improved
type or will there be some other
creature superior to Man. Intellect
of the broadest grasp, scientifically
substantiated, we feel convinced that
the material part, the frame work
of animality has been perfected, a
higher advancement does not seem
possible, as he is the highest cul-
mination of organic life and we des-
ignate HIM as the capital and the
completion of the great column of
organic existence.
In this opinion we are strength
ened by few facts acknowledged by
science-the fish, the earliest rep
resentative of the the types which
embraces man has the vertebral Ak
is located in a horizontal position
and has not the power of even rails
ing it's head. Then comes the bird
which assumed an oblique position
of it's spinal axis, and finally the
higher species of monkeys live
normally in sub-erect position and
after all, Man first and alone assum-
ed perpendicular attitude and
turned his countenance toward
heaven.
The elevation of the spinal axis
has reached mathematical limit
and therefore man is the master
piece of creation. he g not only
the finishing stroke but he ex-
cludes successor, he is the high
est perfection and exaltation of the
