that the whole world of life is permeated by teleology, that 

 is, by design and finality? Why not? Forsooth, because 

 then belief in God would again enter and create havoc in 

 the ranks of the "brethren." 



But however much men may struggle against the tel- 

 eologico-theistic principle and secure themselves against it, 

 it is all of no avail, the principle stands at the gate and 

 clamors loudly for admission; and if Grottewitz could but 

 bring himself to undertake a study of Wigand's masterful 

 work, perhaps his heresy would increase and we might per- 

 haps then find another article in the "Sozialistische 

 Monatshefte" tending still more strongly toward the truth. 



But what will Brother Bebel with his Haeckelism say 

 to the present article? 



All in all, instead of calling his article "Darwinian 

 Myths" Grottewitz might just aa well have entitled it "At 

 the Deathbed of Darwinism." May he bring out a series 

 of "deathbed articles" to disclose the truth regarding Dar- 

 winism to his associates.
