LAST WORDS ON EVOLUTION
BY ERNEST HAEcKEL

the church, was forced to admit 1t
Hence, the open Acknowledgement of
the Jesuit, Father Wasmann, deserves
careful attention, and we may look
forward to a further development. If
his force of conviction and his moral
courage are strong enough, he will go
on to draw the normal conclusions
from his high scientific attachments
and leave the catholic church, as the
prominent Jesuits. Count Hoensbroech
and the able geologist, Professor Re-
nard of Client, one of the workers on
the deep-sea deposits in the Chal
LANCER expedition, have lately done.
But even if this does not happen, his
recognition of Darwinism, in the name
of christian belief, will remain land
mark in the history Of evolution. His
ingenious and very Jesuitical attempt
to bring together the. opposite poles
will have no very mischievous effect;
it will rather tend to hasten the vic
tory of the scientific conception Of
evolution over the mystic beliefs Of
the churches. .f
You will see this more clearly if we
go on to consider the important spe-
cial problem Of the descent of man
from the ape" and its irreconcilability
with the conventional belief that God
made man according to his own image.
That this ape or pithecoid theory is
an irresistible deduction from the gen.
Ieral principle of evolution was clearly
recognized forty-hye years ago, when
Darwin's work appeared, by the
shrewd and vigilant theologians; 1t
was precisely in this fact that they
found their strongest motive for Wig
orous resistance. II is quite clear.
