Cole, to the heroic deed of the climax. If you have never read this book, you have a treat awaiting you, no matter what your age. *■ Cloth TSc Line upon Line
The Protest of Common Sense (Continued from page 388)
these manifold changes and progressions.” A “ Theistic Evolutionist,” in whose sincerity I have the fullest confi dence, writes me: “ I believe in evolution with God.” But these merely insist that in evolution they have discovered the method which God (to whom the credit is graciously conceded!) employed in forming and bringing to perfection this marvelous universe "o f His” ; and that this discovery magnifies His wisdom and skill— “ enhances our estimation of His perfections above the traditional (the Biblical) view." This, some of us, whose intelligence must be sub-normal or below the average, fail to see, or to rightly appreciate! But they have "discovered” a “ mare’s nest” ! Evolution, as Prof. Le Conte defines it, and as it is loudly proclaimed from the house-tops, or in the cloisters of our great Univer sities, is clearly NOT the method which God employed, whatever, unrevealed or undiscovered, as yet that method may prove to have been. And we humbly submit that the Infinite, the All-wise, the All-mighty, Original First Cause, by whatever name He be designated, in whose thought the whole system originated— who, by the gracious admission of these concessionists, ( ! ) established as the expression of the method He elected to adopt— these “ fixed laws” in accordance with which these "resident forces” operate, was fully equal to the modification of these laws (which after all are but the expression of His thought and volition); and the manipulation of these "forces” with which, it is also admitted, He endowed the original protoplasm; or even, as it might suit His purpose, to introduce new forces; and that He should be conceded the privilege, the right, to do so, as and when He pleased! We, at least, are not prepared to shackle the Almighty by fetters of “ fixed laws.” What do we know about the fixity of laws? How do we know that any or which if any, are “ fixed” unalterably? Our "exper ience” is too limited to warrant dogmatism on this subject. Our railroads all have "schedules” by which all trains are run. These, in the interest of efficiency of operation— of convenience to patrons— of safety to life and property, must be “ fixed.” Instability, unregulated fluctuations, were disastrous to all of these. This, however, does not forbid or prevent the Superintendent, or other superior officer having the authority, from varying, departing from, or even temporarily suspending them “ for cause” , in some emer gency deemed by him to be of sufficient importance, though it may be unknown to, or unsuspected by the general public, running an “ extra” or “ special,” or putting on a new train, T.
