He then further shews that names or nicknames given from some animal or other object, to the early progenitors or founders of a tribe, are supposed after a long interval to represent the real progenitor of the tribe; and such animal or object is then naturally believed still to exist as a spirit, is held sacred, and worshipped as a god

. When the question is put in either district, is it worse to kill a girl of a foreign tribe, or to marry a girl of one's own, an answer just opposite to ours would be given without hesitation. 29 We may, therefore, reject the belief, lately insisted on by some writers, that the abhorrence of incest is due to our possessing a special God-implanted conscience. On the whole it is intelligible, that a man urged by so powerful a sentiment as remorse, though arising as above explained, should be led to

The primitive idea of justice, as shewn by the law of battle and other customs of which vestiges still remain, was likewise most rude. Many existing superstitions are the remnants of former false religious beliefs. The highest form of religion—the grand idea of God hating sin and loving righteousness—was unknown during primeval

At p. 116, speaking of the different motives, he says man must likewise avoid the reprobation of the one God or gods to whom, according to his knowledge or superstition, he may believe. Here Darwin appears to term belief in God knowledge, while belief in gods he calls superstitions. At p. 126, he says the ennobling belief in God is not

of the theory of evolution it does not enter into my province to speak this evening. To my mind Darwin has exalted our conception of Nature beyond the theologies. He has taught us that there is no intermediate and direct interference with the course of natural law—he has enforced the lesson that in studying natural science we are concerned only with secondary causes. I cannot do better than conclude in the words of Bacon:— ''For certain it is that God worketh nothing in Nature but by second

Darwin's opponents say on the other hand, that a species is an invariable type, and that the variation of individuals does not accumulate, but fluctuates between certain limits. The inevitable conclusion being that there is no progress by the evolution of one form out of another, but that each species is a creation directly from the hands of God. The anti-Darwinists lay great stress upon the tendency of cultivated plants and animals
