EVOLUTION OF MIND IN MAN 45 



and mankind, and so we find these emotions of both mind and 

 soul are likewise evolved from the twenty-one attributes of 

 God's Trinity. It is my intention to illustrate the manner in 

 which the light thrown upon Evolution by the fact of recog- 

 nising that in the mystery of the Trinity of God lie the motive 

 forces of Evolution, is the real key or standard of gauging 

 the truths of Creation, and how it will aid us to account for 

 many if not all the difficulties which have been a stumbling 

 block to the students of Evolution in the past ; in that they 

 have been unable to account for the wonderful difference be- 

 tween the mind of an animal and that of a man. I will also 

 show how all the emotions of an animal mind are only the 

 lowest order of the development of the attributes of God's 

 Trinity; then how the same attributes of God's Trinity as 

 in the course of Evolution man evolved these attributes, as 

 they return to Creation, acting on the lower order of emotions, 

 they have already developed, produce in the same manner the 

 higher evolution of the human emotions that are to evolve the 

 mind and soul of man. This has been a stumbling block in 

 the past to students of Evolution, and I am hopeful that the 

 Hypothesis I am now demonstrating may offer a satisfactory 

 way of accounting for them. 



" I know nothing," says Professor Huxley in the Contem- 

 porary Review, 1871, " and never hope to, of the steps by 

 which the passage from molecular movement to the state of 

 consciousness is effected." Professor Clifford writes : " The 

 two things are on two utterly different platforms, the physical 

 facts go along by themselves." I hope to show that when 

 read by the light of the Tables of Trinity this is not the case. 



"It is all and for ever inconceivable," says du Bois 

 Reymond, " that a number of atoms of carbon, hydrogen, 

 nitrogen, oxygen and so on, shall be other than indifferent 

 as to how they are disposed or were disposed ; and how they 

 move or how they were moved ; how they will be disposed, or 

 how they will be moved. It is utterly inconceivable how 

 consciousness has arisen from their joint action." But 

 when you can realise the action of God's Trinity in the with- 

 drawal of the influence of the Spirit of Existence or Love, 

 and of Soul or Wisdom from the finite parts of His Creation, 

 and then their gradual return as Evolution advances to be 

 slowly intermingled and so assist the development of Creation,
