I am aware that it may be urged that the great truths of Scripture cannot 
be seriously affected by the evolution theory, since many sound theologians 
no longer contend for the literal and verbal inspiration of the Bible. Now, 
this is not a question of mere verbal accuracy. Darwinism is not merely 
inconsistent with this or that particular line or passage, but is incompatible 
with the whole spirit of the Bible, where at .almost every page, the idea of a 
personal Creator is implied ; whereas the evolution theory abolishes all idea 
of creation in the ordinary sense of the term. 
Did I not desire to avoid trespassing too much upon the space which has 
been so kindly accorded to me, I could strengthen my argument by quota- 
tions from Lord Chancellor Hatherley’s last work, “The Continuity of 
Scripture/’ which book I recommend to the careful perusal of all those who 
are interested in this important subject.
