the man, combined with the daring imagination that 

 saw the thing clearly long before he could prove it, 

 and the gentle forbearance in the presence of unkindness 

 and misunderstanding, won the love of a nation. He 

 wished to be buried in the village churchyard at Down, 

 but at his death, by universal acclaim, the gates of 

 Westminster swung wide to receive the dust of the 

 man whom bishops, clergy & laymen alike had reviled. 

 Darwin had won, not alone because he was right, but 

 because his was a great and loving soul one without 

 resentment. Archdeacon Farrar, quoting Huxley, said, 

 " I would rather be Darwin & be right than be Premier 

 of England we have had and will have many pre- 

 miers, but the world will never have another Darwin."
