ORIGIN OF SPECIES. Lay 
thus has been completed the mighty cycle of being, 
which begins and ends in Himself. 
It will be readily seen, that this theory does not 
preclude the idea, that other amorphous forms of 
life than the Rhizopod, were simultaneously created 
in the same way, as the starting points, or matrices, 
for all the principal divisions of the animal kingdom. 
Nor does it conflict with the idea, that individuals 
of the same species are, under certain limitations, 
and domestication.

varied by ‘‘Natural Selection,’ 
Nor with the idea that men were created in different 
parts of the earth, and at different periods, and more 
than one pair, at the same period and locality. 
It will also be observed, that under this theory, 
there is no such thing asa transition form in the sense 
spoken of by Darwin and his critics. The only ap- 
proach to such a form, is an existing organism ade- 
quate as a receptacle for a new generation. In one 
sense it isa theory of ‘‘Special Creation,” but it 
proceeds in a mode which gives it the appearance of 
‘“‘Kvolution” or ‘* Development.” 
Finally, I hold and am ready to prove, that this 
theory does not necessarily conflict in the slightest 
degree with the Genesis account ef Creation.
