NEXT STEP IN EVOLUTION 



be obedient to the law that draws 

 it. It goes more certainly and 

 swiftly to its place than the atom 

 in the forming crystal. 



Evolution is a sword that cuts 

 both ways. It chooses, it con- 

 demns. The fittest survive. 

 There are many called but few 

 chosen. 



Punishment comes, but it is 

 largely within; degeneracy is, 

 through persistent wrongdoing, 

 the law of nature, fixed, inevita- 

 ble. If a man will not choose 

 to ascend he loses his power to 

 ascend, and must be reborn. God 

 never abandons a soul. Tho I 

 make my bed in hell thou art 

 there. The soul may lose sight 

 of God, but God never of the 

 soul. 



He lights the sun and sweeps 



the universe that He may find the 



missing coin. He goes after the 



lost sheep, leaving the ninety and 



76
