eighteen centuries 1s not about to fade away like an ex- 
halation, nor are the new lights of science so exlilirating 
that sertous persons can look with comfort to exchanging 
the one for the other.” 
Of the Eutheria, or Placental Mammals, Doctors, fore- 
most among the scientific followers of Darwin, place the 
horse, lion, cow, sheep, and many others, as only developed 
to their present form about ¢e time when Man himself 
had reached his present development. 
The same chronologic arrangement is gathered 
from the Geologic record: this Huxley also admits. 
And how completely it cozzczdes with the revealed record 
in point of order, and date; the difference of opinion 
being as to whether they were fresh creations ; or develop- 
ments from older forms. 
Darwin’s statement, that speczes seldom outlast their 
own Geologic era, should imply the former, viz., the 
fresh series of creations; Geologic revelation distinctly 
contradicts the theory of transitional species, and 1s not at 
variance with the Divine revelation. 
That the Embryos of the creatures in so many, 
perhaps all, orders, and families have possessed, in the 
early stages when they seem little in advance of proto- 
plasm ; and which, even in later stages, possess many, or 
even most features in common; surely only suggests, 
what Comparative Anatomy long ago proved, that all are 
fashioned more or less on the same plan by the same 
Almighty hand. And it may well be that there is 
nothing physical in Man that is not common to one, 
or other of his fellow creatures; his inward anatomy, and 
his outward bodly appearance. 
There may even be some creature whose eyelid, like 
Man’s, does ot closely surround the iris of the eye, but 
exposes the conjunctiva to view. Ihave seen no mention 
of such.
