Admit the full play of man's intelligence, and we will agree with much affirmed by Mr Darwin as to the marked characters of varieties. But apart from this, it is not within the range of our belief, that, even though you assign a personality to Nature, while you banish God from the scene

If two seedling misletoe plants spring up on the same branch of an apple tree, we are told there will be a struggle for existence. Of course, because the design of the Creator is, that the misletoe seedling should grow to maturity as a healthy plant, and He carries out His design. The seed which had the start in springing, will, [page] 47

For when the voice of God issues the fiat and says let this thing be, is it not as perfectly obeyed although that thing comes into being by generative development, as if it sprang forth from nothing or from the dust? And again what shall we do with the principle of Agassiz, that in all these new creatures there is no chance and nothing arbitrary, but a

investigating the claims of science, he must call upon his intellect to look sharply at the facts, the logic, the arguments and the conclusions; and this is all, or nearly all. But he must choose and hold his faith, not by means which logic disdains and denies, but by asking of logic to do all that it can do and and the best that it can do, as the instrument of something higher than itself, which can take up and complete the work which mere logic must leave unfinished. How easily could God have

Atleast, we see nothing in his scientific theory to hinder his adoption of Lord Bacon's Confession of Faith in this regard, that, notwithstanding God hath rested and ceased from creating, [in the sense of supernatural origination,] yet, nevertheless, He doth accomplish and

This is one form of the hypothesis; another is, that the original atom from which men and monkeys and oysters alike have sprung, came into being itself, by the force of natural laws, without the need of any God to breathe into it the breath of life. This is the position taken by the author of The Origin of Species, but it is an inference dawn from his premises, by certain persons who consider it very profound to regard this universe as having come into

Transfer the question for a moment from the origination of species to the origination of individuals, which occurs, as we say, naturally. Because natural, that is, stated, fixed, or settled, is it any the less designed on that account? We acknowledge that God is our maker, not merely the originator [page] 3

All that is meant in general by the language of those who believe that God presides over the whole, creation is that everything depends ultimately upon Him, whatever agency He may choose to employ, and that if His fingers have not literally, moulded the wonders of structure which Mr. Darwin describes, their design proceeded from Him and was carried into effect by secondary

Nor do we maintain that either the creative energy of God, or the immateriality of man is necessarily excluded by their hypothesis, so far as they have developed it. At the same time, it goes in that direction, that is to say it tends to remove difficulties out of the way of those who desire to

Again, he learns from Mr. Hearne, that a black bear was seen swimming, for hours, with widely open mouth, probably overheated by running, and cooling himself. His assumption is, that he was thus catching, like a whale, insects in the water. His generalization of this odd freak of a bear, and its supposed motive, is, that black bears may become the progenitors of a whale-like progeny. He says: Even in so extreme a case as this, if the supply of
