The Lines of Affinity existing between different Primates

Construct a network: but not a ladder.

The Survival of the Fittest.

But the fittest (according to the Theory)

Have not survived.

The half-apes are with us to this day :

The half-men are nowhere.

Mr. Wallace's Demonstration

That the Origin of Man is to be found only in
An Act of Special Creation.

Mr. Mivart's Conclusion:

Prof. Tyndall's Fallacy;

Pyramid builders: Architect: Controlling Power.

Prof. Tyndall's belief that

"The formation of a plant or an animal

Is a purely mechanical problem."

Prof. Huxley's assertion that

"A mass of living protoplasm

Is simply a molecular machine.”

His resort to "subtle influences,"

i.e., to Vital Force.

His assertion that

"A particle of jelly" guides forces.

Refuted by Dr. Beale.

Two Points involved in these assertions :-

I. The introduction of Life ;

II. The manifestations of Mind.

I. VITAL ACTION: In contrast with physico-chemical action

Is peculiar to living beings.

Haeckel's Testimony :-

"The phenomena which living things pre-

sent have no parallel in the mineral

world."

:-

Du Bois Reymond's :-

"It is futile to attempt by chemistry to

bridge the chasm between the living

and the not-living."

No machine can grow.

No machine can produce machines like itself.

II. MIND. I. "Horologity": and the "watch-force":

A combination of many forces, and

Their adjustment to a particular PURPOSE.

Its seat is in

The Intelligence which conceived that com-

bination; and in

The Will which gave it effect.

This evidence of Design is shewn in Universal

Nature.

2. The Shell of the Barnacle.

things."

"Thinker of God's thoughts after Him."

The genesis of THOUGHT.

VOLITION.

"Thaumaturgic." (Carlyle.)

"No mere function of The Brain."

"A World by itself."

Whence ?

A machine not mechanical.

"An automaton endowed with free will."

CONSCIOUSNESS.

"A rock on which Materialism must inevitably

split." (Tyndall.)

WHENCE THY ORIGINAL?

THE MAJESTIC SPECTACLE OF THE UNIVERSE

Is a spectacle for the eye of Reason.

Natural Agents working for ends which they them-

selves cannot perceive.

But "Every house is builded by some man

And

"HE THAT BUILT ALL THINGS, IS GOD."
