ORGANIC LIFE. 



Taking into consideration the many means of 

 carrying the proper temperatures and union of matter 

 within them that nature had in the cooling process, 

 we find little trouble in finding the conditions that 

 brought life into existence upon the earth. And we 

 must acknowledge that life was as unavoidable in the 

 conditions that existed at that time in the cooling 

 process, as it would be to try to stop matter from union 

 when the temperature has arrived for its precipitation. 



With regard to evolution, there can not be any 

 doubt as to time and trials bringing about change in 

 the stature of the species. As the product of condition 

 cannot subvert the law of its maker. Man and all ani- 

 mals, being product of condition, must submit to the 

 dictates of further conditions. But as to evolution 

 Wiping out one form of species and transforming it into 

 another, that is all rot. As the wiles of time leaves con- 

 ditional marks on the youthful being, so does the con- 

 ception of beings leave footprints throughout posterity. 



As life is the product of a condition in the ele- 

 ments and temperature, then condition is its progenitor, 

 and will tend to modify the original work by being 

 itself modified, but not so as to change the form of 

 same. The change being but adaptability to the con- 

 ditions as they change. 



But the idea of life being built up out of one 

 minute form by evolution, and evolution being the 

 maker of large bodies out of nothing but change, must 

 be the worst of rot. It is strictly against the scientific 

 truth of inability to build matter out of nothing. What
