  PRIMEVAL 
  MAN. 
  

  

  the 
  theories 
  of 
  Development, 
  of 
  which 
  Mr. 
  

   Darwin's 
  hypothesis 
  is 
  only 
  the 
  latest 
  form. 
  

   It 
  is 
  not 
  in 
  itself 
  inconsistent 
  with 
  the 
  Theistic 
  

   argument, 
  or 
  with 
  belief 
  in 
  the 
  ultimate 
  

   agency 
  and 
  directing 
  power 
  of 
  a 
  Creative 
  

   Mind. 
  This 
  is 
  clear, 
  since 
  we 
  never 
  think 
  of 
  

   any 
  difficulty 
  in 
  reconciling 
  that 
  belief 
  with 
  

   our 
  knowledge 
  of 
  the 
  ordinary 
  laws 
  of 
  animal 
  

   and 
  vegetable 
  reproduction. 
  Those 
  laws 
  may 
  

   be 
  correctly, 
  and 
  can 
  only 
  be 
  adequately, 
  

   described 
  in 
  the 
  language 
  of 
  religion 
  and 
  

   theology. 
  "He 
  who 
  is 
  the 
  alone 
  Author 
  and 
  

   Creator 
  of 
  all 
  things," 
  says 
  the 
  present 
  Bishop 
  

   of 
  Salisbury, 
  "does 
  not 
  by 
  separate 
  acts 
  of 
  

   creation 
  give 
  being 
  and 
  life 
  to 
  those 
  creatures 
  

   which 
  are 
  to 
  be 
  brought 
  forth, 
  but 
  employs 
  

   His 
  living 
  creatures 
  thus 
  to 
  give 
  effect 
  to 
  His
