PBOOFS OF EVOLUTION.

connects egg-layers and milk-givers ; but between 
man and the ape there is no living link. Nor can 
there be if Evolution is true; yet it is not less 
certain that he has been evolved from a lower 
animal form than that these other steps in biolog¬ 
ical development have taken place. 
Professor Wilson, of Edinburgh, says : “ There 
can be no Evolution for one group, and special 
creation for another. There can be no Evolution 
for the lower races, and creation for the higher 
forms of animal life, or for man himself. Uni¬ 
formity and sequence exist wholly, or not at all.” 
Professor Huxley also declares, “If one series of 
species has come into existence by the operation 
of natural causes, it seems folly to deny that all 
may have arisen in the same way.” 
It has been truly said, “Of special creation the 
rocks tell no tale.” Nor do the present living 
forms which roam beneath “this brave o’erhanging 
firmament,” while all the fossil dead, and all 
living creatures, give out some hint or indication 
of the things they were, and of the evolutionary 
process through which they have reached their 
present estate.
