A Story Outline of Evolution 



If we shall examine the organs of the body, we find that 

 they are each designed to perform their particular function 

 with the least amount of effort for Nature teaches economy 

 in all things. All the organs of the body are in harmony 

 with each other. The muscles, bones, nerves, the organs of 

 special sense, and in fact all the organs of the body, are 

 placed in the most advantageous positions where their func- 

 tions may be performed without interfering with the func- 

 tion of any other organ. They are so related and in such 

 harmony that an injury to one, injures all. 



When Cultural Evolution began to develop, the power 

 of brain was substituted for and began to replace the power 

 of muscle. Mechanical hands and fingers began to use the 

 physical forces of Nature. Mechanical eyes extended human 

 vision and mechanical ears extended the range of human 

 hearing and a mysterious brain endowed with the power of 

 reason and understanding began to comprehend the simple 

 processes of creation. 



The vestigial organs of the human body were, at one 

 time, necessary and real organs that helped to lay the founda- 

 tion for the perfected body. Without their work in the ages 

 past, our bodies would not now be complete. The story of 

 the lesson they teach is best told by the eminent preacher. 

 Dr. Henry Drummond in "The Ascent of Man," as follows; 

 "Take away the theory that Man has evolved from a lower 

 animal condition, and there is no explanation whatever of 

 any one of these phenomena. With such facts before us, it 

 is mocking human intelligence to assure us that Man has not 

 some connection with the rest of animal creation, or that the 

 processes of his development stand unrelated to the other
