[Anon] ─ Your readers will have heard of the death of Charles Darwin, and his burial in Westminster Abbey. Opinion is not unanimous anent the universal operation of the law of evolution which he propounded, and with which his name will always be identified, but the religious objection to it is generally and perceptibly allayed. However far some of Darwin's disciples may go in excluding God from nature, he, although confining himself, as a scientist, to which, are seen, never denied that there

appear to be somewhat less, and the sense of equality is shewn in every action. Professor Braubach goes so far as to maintain that a dog looks on his master as on a god.78 The same high mental faculties which first led man to believe in unseen spiritual agencies, then in fetishism, polytheism, and ultimately in monotheism, would infallibly lead him, as long as his reasoning powers remained poorly developed, to various strange superstitions and customs. Many of these are terrible to think of—such as

peroration of the Apology rings in our ears as if it were Charles Darwin's farewell: — The hour of departure has arrived, and we go our ways—I to die and you to live. Which is the better, God only knows. The following tribute to the memory of Mr. Darwin is from Punch: — Born February 12th, 1809; Died April 19th, 1882. A studious porer over Natures' plan. Calm tracker of her steps, keen, watchful, wise; Recorder of the long descent of man, And a most living witness of his rise: Long o'ver his

development has taken in the history of the world. My own strong impression is that there are a great many scientific men in the world who are a great deal more Darwinian than Darwin himself was. I have seen some letters published in scientific journals, from which it was quite obvious that the writers rejoiced in Darwin simply because they thought that Darwin had dispensed with God, and that he had discovered some process entirely independent of Design which eliminated altogether the idea of a personal

praise or blame of his fellows as his sole guide, though few escape this influence, but his habitual convictions, controlled by reason, afford him the safest rule. His conscience then becomes the supreme judge and monitor. Nevertheless the first foundation or origin of the moral sense lies in the social instincts, including sympathy; and these instincts no doubt were primarily gained, as in the case of the lower animals, through natural selection. The belief in God has often been advanced as not

Yet we could never discover that the Fuegians believed in what we should call a God, or practised any religious rites; and Jemmy Button, with justifiable pride, stoutly maintained that there was no devil in his land. This latter assertion is the more remarkable, as with savages the belief in bad spirits is far more common than that in good

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

universally and ungrudgingly recognised as the real author of the theory which goes by his name. The hostility with which Darwinism was at one time regarded, especially in clerical circles, was only what is always to be expected whenever the world is blessed by the appearance of a thinker who enlarges the boundaries of knowledge. He was charged with attacking the Bible, with undermining faith in the existence of God, and with all sorts of impieties; but he really made no attack upon religion or

The inevitable answer to these questions justifies the assertion which Cannon Barry made the same evening in Westminster Abbey, that the fruitful doctrine of evolution, with which Darwin's name would always be associated, lent itself at least as readily to the old promise of God as to more modern but less complete explanations of the universe.

accumulating, that 'God created man in His own image;' but that by the growing dominion of passion and lust, his nature degenerated until he lost even the consciousness of his divine origin; and perhaps, in some instances, becoming so degraded by ignorance as to forget the power of language and with it to lose even the organ of speech; preserving scarcely anything of the nature of humanity save some likeness to its physical form. This, at any rate, is as legitimate an hypothesis as that man has
