There is stagnation, fossilzng in e it changes

wrong-not wrong Bryan for that would be mposs
BILE. When you CERTAIN WITHOUT KNOWING, you
achieve the maximum Of inaccuracy.
But Darwin delighted with his great discoveries, at
ibuted TOO MUCH to evolution too little credit to
creative power and creative adaptation attributed too much
to accident, too little to DESIGN.
When you study the rocks where scientists find fossil
zed animals, in museums where they gathered and in
books you life constantly changing.
That does that it has all been ACCIDENT. It
does forbid you to believe you want to believe that
stands his hind legs that he SEE THE STARS and
walked uphill and grasped the tree trunks he climbed the
mountainside.
What happened throughout millions of years this
earth life passing from single cell through many compica
tons to its highest development in man. also happens in
brief period in the unborn life of every human being In his
Descent of Man. Darwin publishes pictures exact
born human and unborn dog Of about the You
could easily tell them apart There before birth period
of evolution development in which being
passes through various animal stages Nobody deny that
but it does that descended from the monkey
And by the way, DARWIN NEVER SAID THAT MAN DE-
SCENDED FROM THE MONKEY. He did say Huxley
said that his mode origin and the early stages of his
development far to the than to the dog
We talk more than ought to do about marvellous man
and the monkey supposed to stand back of him. Creation

Tho cerebral gangla' brain of ant is perhaps
one-tenth the size Of the head Of pin.
In that tiny brain dwell affection industry, combative

power make slaves of weaker animals Well might Darwin
say the brain Of ant Of the marvellous Of
matter in the world perhaps than the brain Of
man
Back of 1t ALL above the ant, above the monkey
Darwin and above Mr. Bryan there presides Inte
gence controlling this procession of life, controlling all the
and planets, in all the universe.
To that great Intelligence little discussions about
auon evolution and all the rest Of It must pitifu
Fortunately for he longs for knowledge struggles
free his BRAIN reach the unknown regions truth he
will reach them In the millions of years ahead
This aspiration Is like the craving Of animals mera

breast against the wires Of her until it is bare and
bloody 1t young salmon leap of the fresh
water in which they could continue exist and thus
Intentionally to commit suicide.
Every one knows how strong the maternal instinct Is
leading timid birds to face great danger though
with hesitation, and in opposition to the instinct Of self
preservation Nevertheless the migratory instinct
powerful that late in the Autumn swallows house mar
tins and swfs frequently desert their tender young leav

Keep mind you listen to this argument that the
