The Evolution of Man.

Editor Dawson News | have been very
much interested and edited by the discussion
and refutation OF evolution IN the Macon
Daily Telegraph by John S. Wimbush, and
see my old friend w. P Horriady, OF Dawson,
adds his mite in the Telegraph OF recent date.
So as confirming what has gone before, | beg
to add mine-gotten from close fifty years
study Of the Bible, the history OF the Jews
history of Egpyt and recent researches under
the Pierpont Morgan foundation in various
parts OF the world to establish the truth OF
the Bible.
In my boyhood it was my good fortune to
be intimately associated with a natural-born
ffatura1ist who studied nature in all its phases
to establish not preCOnCelved truth but truth.
Here is his theory of the creatlon:rAl mani
mails in all departments, whether OF fish, am
mails or creeping things, in each genus, is dl-
vided into five species If the lower order OF
mammals why not the higher order, man? Ihke
then man We have the highest order, The
Argan. Next, because farther advanced and
nearest approach to the white in its spiritual
conceptions the American Indian. Next the
brown, next the yellow lastly the black Now
remembering that Moses, who collected from
tradition the history of man as laid down in
Genesis, aided by direct inspiration from Je-
hoyah God with us the ancient OF days, the
Christ of the new, being as Paul afhrms the
Jehovah of the Old Testament Moses beng
the Aryan, or white race, would naturally look
upon this race as peculiarly the sons OF God.
Now read in Genesis the reasons for the
NoaChic flood: And the sOrs OF God saw the
daughters of men that they were Conely." (Ihe
old English, which King James version trans
lates fair, comely and fair at the time OF this
translation being synonymous terms) Ana
they the sons Of God tool, of the daughters
of men wives as they chose Read on further:
And there were giants the mongrel always
taking the intellect of the higher parent, and
the brute power and lust from the lower as
we see every day in the mulattO among men,
and the mule among horses. And reading tur-
Their, And the wickedness ola man became
great in the earth so that God repented that
He had made man to dwell on the face OF the
earth" And reading farther: God said unto
Noah make thee an ark OF gopher wood, CIV
ing him the dimensions, and take OF every
living creature of the clean man and the clean
animals, eight Of each kind5 the male and the
Lfemale."
Then go to the prescriptions given by Mos
les to the Jews in Moses FIVE books: Thou
shalt not work an OK and an ass together.
Thou shalt not have upon thy person gar
ment part wooden and part linen, showing
His adherence of mixed things. Take that
since the date of the flood each species OF
man. save the white, have been confined to a
certain portion OF the earth, with this broad
ly translated, as by Paul, God has set the
bounds of the nations according to the number
of the children of Israel" For Paul says all
are OF them, meaning the white race Now
read Acts 10, where Paul essaySd to 60 into
Bythnia, behind which lay China and the
spirit forbad him" Read further on where he
saw a man of Macedonia, saying: Come
over and help us" Europe being peculiarly a
white mans country. Now turn to Isaiah IN
the Old Testament and read: He was bruis-
ed for our niquities." Further on you will sec
Isaiah meant our iniquities against our bodies,
as we'll as the sin against our souls brought
on by this. He was chastised for our sins. He
took our diseases and with His stripes we
are healed
Now take Christ's message to John in pris-
on when John sent two of his disciples to the
Christ and bade them ask: Art thou he that
should come, or look we for another" And
the Christs answer: GO and tell John the
things We see and hear. The blind receive
their sight the lame walk, the epers arc
ceansed and these poor have the gospel
preached unto them | take the liberty OF in
sertine' these poor" instead of "the poor" be
cause throughout Christ's life on earth He
first cured mans bodily ailments, satisfied his
craving for the necessities CT life, and then
proclaimed His mission to a soul human.
Thus He took a womaneef the streets, cured
her Of the diseases incident to her calling,
taught her the necessity OF a spiritual reblrth,
as he had just remade her physically whole,
these being the seven devils that were cast
out of her Take Peter and John; the great
OF the beggar who sat at the gate beautiful OF
the temple. Take Peter when ship-wrecked
he first healed the father of Pubus, the chief
man of the island, and all in the island that
| lad divers diseases. This is the gospel that
he meant when he said: When the world by
wisdom knew not God it pleased God by the
Ifoolishness OF preaching, healing the BODY
! first and then the soul, to them that be-
! lieve" And take this prediction Of the Christ
to his disciples on the eve OF his crucifxion
! "And greater works than these shall We do,
because l go unto the Father | am by my
mission and my short sojourn earth con
fined to a small portion OF this earth; you by
/ the accretion OF the millions who believe
1 through my gospel shall reach unto the Circle
| of the earth" Now see this fulfilled in our
day. Under the Rockefeller foundation for
medical and surgical research for remedies for
human ills leprosy is in process of Danish
ment, typhoid is under control, smallpox is
gradually ceasing to be a terror, malaria is
conquered and the earth and its inhabitants
are fast becoming the Kingdoms of our God
| and his Christ. And Hoover taking American
sanitation in one hand and food in the other,
/ is preaching by the benefactions under his
hand the duty of Il am my neighbors keep
err Now let those who dwell in the fog OF
evolution read John c. Keener on the Garden

man they will no lOnCar err therein " Yours
