A Story Outline of Evolution 



in this building has come from the forest. The trees from 

 which It has come have withstood the storms of centuries 

 but the Hmbs, bark, sapwood and the defective parts have 

 been left behind and only the best and most perfect parts 

 have been used. The metal parts of the building have come 

 from the mines. The ores have been smelted and fabricated 

 and the dross and slag have been left behind and only the 

 pure metal has been used. The glass has been melted from 

 the white unstained sand and all Impurities and Imperfec- 

 tions discarded and so on through the catalogue of all the 

 parts of which the building structure Is made. So likewise 

 when all the preceding ancestors of man have contributed the 

 essence of their llfes' work In building the various organs 

 which form the complex human structure, then and only then 

 does the human embryo assume human form. 



The embryos of all mammals are the same or similar 

 until the life processes of reincarnating the useful attributes 

 of the common ancestors are completed but when the point 

 is reached where the mammals began to take different roads 

 in the ascent of life which led to new environments which 

 necessitated new adaptations and In turn developed new 

 forms, then the embryo takes on the form of the species of 

 its kind. The negative of the picture is now complete. The 

 processes of the development of all life that have passed 

 through the preceding ages have been repeated within a few 

 weeks' time. From this point or period of development, the 

 family history plays the important part. But even at this 

 stage of development, there are many parts which were use- 

 ful to our ancestors under the environments in which they 

 lived that are now no longer useful to us in the environments
