If God had not meant man to know something of his origin differing from the account in Genesis, he would not have given us Darwin and his successors.
William's writing-table was beside an open window, through which came an insistent whirring, unagreeable to his mood; and, looking down upon the sunny lawn, he beheld three lowly creatures. One was Genesis; he was cutting the grass.
In short, when life begins, begins also our feebleness; "Therefore," says Paul, "we walk by faith, not by sight." Ille. "How did it happen, then, that Abraham arrived at the knowledge of the one God, and called on the name of the Lord?" Hic. "Do you compare yourself with Abraham? Have you ever studied Hebrew?" Ille.
