BISHOP ACCEPTS
DARW|N'S
THEORY
Churchman Says World Con-
vinced Man Has Evolved
From Ape-Iike Stock
BIRMINGHAM, England, March
1O.-"DarWin has friumnhed -

BIRMINGHAM, England. March
10.-"Darwin has triumphed. -
Doctor w. E. Barnes, bishop Of
Birmingham, made this statement
in commenting upon Professor
Darts discovery OF a Taung skull
in South Africa. heralded as a
missing link"
The world is lnow convinced,
the bishop said, that man has
evolved from an ape-Iike stock, and
everywhere men Of science are
eager to fill in the gaps which
separate humanity from his simian
monkey like ancestry.
All along religious people re-
fused to accept Darwin's conclu-
sion, and they have said. What
about the missing hnk?' They have
continued to say so, with a mo-
notonous reiteration. regardless Of
the fact that there is not che
missing link that is required. but
a thousand, and the transformation
has taken place as the result Of a
whole sequence Of changes.
There is no reason why evold-
ton cannot be regarded as Gods
process. / cannot conceive how il
ID pOSSlOiS LOE dnYOHe TO regard IL
as the result OF blind chance. The
brain of the ape has slowly devel-
oped until 1t became the brain Of
civilized man, and in that process,
should say, God has made man
in His own image.
'eThe fundamental question is. If
man is a descendant OF the monkey
how can ne have an immortal soul
il monkeys have none?'
Il do not propose to answer the
question. for 1 do not know the
OF evolution nor the
creative power behind it.
THE gaps which separate hui
manity from its monkey-like ances-
tors are being bridged, and the
world is now convinced that man
really is descended from ape-like
stock.
Nobody knows when man de-
an immortal soul. Man,
however. in developing from the
ape. has grown to understand Gods
ways: and God, who has used the
whole process Of evolution. extend
ing over 100000, 900 years. to bring
man into existence, will preserve
what He valued.
