268 HEREDITY. 



Inst geological age, in the filling-up of man's ethical 

 capacities, and in the descent upon him of a spiritual 

 power not his own, there is a prediction perfectly 

 parallel to many a prophecy made in the geological 

 ages that have gone by, of a world in which a supe- 

 rior being will appear, and of which the law will be 

 righteousness. [Applause.]
