ANATOMICAL ANALOGY OF ANIMALS — COMPARA- 

 TIVE PSYCHOLOGY 



A close similarity of animals — A corresponding structure and 

 gradation from one species to another — Lower animals possess every 

 incipient principle of man — This uniformity of design furnishes 

 proof of the unity and wisdom of the Creator. 



I have been speaking of the intellectual powers 

 of lower animals in order to show that they pos- 

 sess minds, or souls, analogous to man. 



Let us now briefly consider the analogy of man 

 and lower animals from an anatomical standpoint. 

 We are taught by comparative anatomy that there 

 is a close similarity in the bodily structure of all 

 animals, and that each species possesses many 

 things common to all. 



"When we consider the various organs of animals 

 separately and trace them through the same class, 

 we find they exist in a regular and uniform man- 

 ner, and often observe a part or vestige of a part
