HEAT AND COLD. 



great miracle God could posisbly cope with. Darwin 

 put a small worm on the throne, and the mighty worm 

 made millions of great species out of nothing. The 

 former god made man and a few other articles for 

 man's use. Darwin's god displaced the old god, ow- 

 ing to having nothing to work with but himself, a 

 measly worm, and he entangled himself throughout 

 space and time until he worked out millions of great 

 bodies of living, breathing, moving, growing and 

 flowering organisms. All out of nothing. Darwin's 

 god did all these miracles in the light of an advanced 

 scientific world. Men read, they believed and were 

 convinced. They knew the world was cooling and life 

 was growing colder with the earth. They knew that 

 it took more heat to keep a large organic property 

 alive and in motion than it would to create the same 

 action within a small body. They knew that nothing 

 could be made out of nothing. But they immediately 

 fell in line worshiping one miracle when it proved to 

 be greater than the former miracle. 



All men knew, in the light of their own senses, 

 that Darwin's god was just as impossible as the god 

 it displaced, but it was miraculous, and being more 

 miraculous, owing to having a smaller body, and it be- 

 ing the father of the man god, of course in that case the 

 god who sat enthroned could not hold the chair when 

 the worm made him. The worm demanded the chair 

 and the sulky little king who dared to assume the seat 

 moved out. So all men became lovers of the great 

 miraculous god who could make millions of organisms
