SUMMAKY 241 



The evolutionist picture gives the world a new 

 unity ; the groaning and travailing of creation finds 

 a new meaning when Man is discerned as its outcome ; 

 the elaborateness of the foundations is more intel- 

 ligible when recognized as in part a foundation for 

 the lofty superstructure; perplexing anachronisms 

 in our nature receive historical elucidation. The evo- 

 lutionist view is encouraging and strengthening, for 

 evolution is on the whole integrative and makes for 

 the emergence of mind and personality; its momen- 

 tum is with us at our best; it is an ascent, not a 

 descent, that lies behind us. This is more heartening 

 than the theological doctrine of the Fall. Perhaps, 

 after all, the God of Evolution is no new concept, for 

 the scholars tell us that the word Jehovah meant not 

 only "I am that I am," but "I will be what I will be."
