ture and strength? And if various kinds of ant-eaters 
exist side by side to-day with not the slightest evidence 
that one has developed from the other, then why should 
it not be a fair assumption that also various types of the 
horse species have existed side by side in prehistoric 
times? The difference in size and structure between the 
various kinds of antelopes, kangaroos, and ant-eaters is 
at least as great and fundamental as the difference be- 
tween the various prehistoric types of the horse. 
When it is considered that the age of the rocks in 
which the fossil ‘ancestors’ of the horse have been 
found is still a matter of dispute, the argument for evolu- 
tion based on the development of the horse becomes very 
frail indeed. It must never be forgotten that the rocks 
are grouped by scientists, to a great extent, according 
to the evolutionary theory; in other words, rocks are 
called old when the fossil remains are of a simple type. 
As a matter of fact, there is no place on the surface of 
the earth where all the various layers of rock are found 
exactly in the order in which the text-books show the 
different “ages.” 
This digging in the earth to prove that God did not 
make it reminds us of Cowper’s lines :— 
Some drill and heave 
The solid earth, and from the strata there 
Extract a register, by which we learn 
That He who made, and then revealed its date 
To Moses, was mistaken in its age. 
In conclusion, let all those who believe that there is 
no antagonism between evolution and Christianity re- 
member that evolutionists themselves admit that the 
whole fabric of Christianity tumbles down in ruins if 
evolution is true. And the results of this doctrine are 
all too evident. Addressing Moody Institute in Chicago, 
Mr. Bryan said :—
