3O2 Appendix. 



strated the " power \ wisdom, and goodness of God, as 

 manifested in the Creation" Of late years the doctrines 

 of so-called "Evolution" and "Development," have seem- 

 ingly gained ground amongst those interested in natural 

 history ; but I have too much faith in the good sense 

 and natural acumen of my fellow countrymen to think 

 that these tenets will be very long-lived. To put 

 matters very straight, I steadfastly believe that the Great 

 Creator, as indeed we are directly told, made all things 

 perfect and " very good " from the beginning ; perfect 

 and very good every created thing is now found to be, 

 and will so continue to the end of time.' "
