GULLNER'S TRAVELS
 AND EV0LU7lONISTS
Rev. N. H. Hartman Delivers
 Fourth Attack on Scientists

Rev. N. H. Hartman, pastor of the Peoples church. delivered his fourth attack on evolution last night at the church. com mparing mans lot and fate
 as argued by evolutionists and as it is revealed in the Bible.
 An abstract of the sermon follows: Evolution and Redemption.
 "Quoting from an able lawyer,
 whom God saved from darkness and despair-and evolution-let me sum up the facts already proven. All talk of differentiation, and 'integration', and progression from the homogene-
 ous to the heterogeneous of 'primorr- dial protoplasm' and primal nebul-
 osity' and all the rest, has no more solid foundation than 'Gulliver's Trav- els
 'If I have not shown that this is true. I am sure I do not know how one could show anything to be true. From its own advocates, it is con- fessed that evolution is at best un- proven. From former evolutionists, we have heard most positive assaults upon its claims While from the wis est and sanest of modern scientists, real scientists and not cheap philos- OpHOiS dl1O $ uCSSSAo, "C ASc'AA II SAAeeS SAAo scientific world today discards it al- most altogether.
 And now we come to the most con- vincing proof as to the original of this exploded and unchristian theory of
 evolution when we take up the topic
 of the evening" Evolution and Re-
 demption. Here, the violence, and
 virulence of its attacks upon the
 Bible plan of salvation, plainly re-
 veal the Dragon, that old serpent,
 which is called the Devil, and Satan.
 In Eden he won the race of man in our first parents. In Eden was pre- dicted Seed of the woman who was to defeat and destroy his power. On
 Calvary that Seed of the woman
 bruised his head. A little hence and that Seed Is to cast Satan into the
 lake of fire. Naturally, therefore.
 Satan does not love the Son of God'
 nor the great salvation
 Several times I have noted this
 trend of the evolution attack upon the
 Bible. In studying it's attack upon the
 Genesis account, I have asked you to
 notice more than once, that every
 thing in evolution seems driving eag-
 erly on till it reaches man. Once I
 asserted that this eagerness to climb
 up to man, and prove him the prod
 uct of natural causes and not of su-
 pernatural creation had it's signlti-
 canoe in the aim of Satan to discred-
 it mans redemption. Tonight we
 shall see that this is the real inward ness of evolution, for it not only does not stop short of the sphere of re- ligion, but it boldly plunges into that sphere, and seeks to discredit not only the need but the fact of redemption of man. And this is precisely what we
 should expect.
 A Bible Text.
 "You observe that I am no longer admitting, even for arguments sake' that this Bible may not be the very word of God. The Book that has for three generations withstood the as saults of the world gone mad over evolution, natural origins instead of supernatural; the Book that has come out of the awful conflict as the chill l dren of Israel came out of the Red Sea dry shod and saw their enemies dead upon the shore-that BOOK, l whose theory of the origin of things 1 stands out before the scientific world \ as the only really scientific eXplana- l ton of things-that Book is indeed
 The Word of God.'
 l From that Book I give you text, and you will observe how we'll it fits 1 the situation we are discussing to- night: But if our Gospel be hid, 1t ] Is hid to them that are lost: in whom
 the god of this world hath blinded
 the minds of them which believe not,
 lest the light of the glorious Gospel l of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine unto them.'-2 Cor. ABA. Here is the picture of men l in unbelief, with minds blinded be- cause of their unbelief, blinded by Satan, the god of this world.' and 1 blinded that they may miss the light and benefits of the glorious Gospel of Christ If our ministerial Brethren l who are still preaching evolution had not rejected the Bible really, if'they really believed that there is hell for incorrigible sinners. would not that text startle them? The fact is, evo- lutionists are inevitably universalists, in the final analysis of their unbelief. ''The fact is, that this arrogant the- ory of natural origins, which assalls the Bible teaching of supernatural it116o
