The Atlanta Georgian. vol. l xo. 57. ATLANTA, GA., SATURDAY, JUNE 30. 1906. JOHN WESLEY, FOUNDER OF METHODIST CHURCH, ■ HELD THEORY OF EVOLUTION LONG BEFORE DARWIN « He Wrote a Book on the Subject Thirty- ® Four Years Before Darwin Was Born, $ and Eighty-Four Years Before the “Origin of Species” Was Written. ® @ ® ® ® ® ft $ • ft® $ $ ft $ $ ® ® ® ® ® : ftftftftftftftftftftftftftftftftftftftftftftftftft J OHN WESLEY wrote a book In two Volumea am the orixln of spe cie* thirty-four years before Dar win waa born, ami eighty-four years before Darwin publlsheil his celebrated work on the "Origin of Species." The work written' by the founder of Meth odism Is entitled “Wesley’s Phllnsn Phy,” and was written In 1776, and pub lished In this country by Mason " Bungs, of New York, la Hit. The publication Is In two volumes, Darwin’s book Is called “The Origin of Species,” but It Is not on that sub ject at all, but on the modification of species. Wesley’s book Is not called “The Origin of on that subject. rhe Origin of Species,” but Is really Darwin’s book begins with species already started, arid stu- grvTng lu the origin of diously avoids them. .On the title page of “Wesley’s Phi losophy” are the following words: ’’A survey of the wisdom of God In creation, or a compendium of natural philosophy, containing an abridgment of that beautiful work, ’The Contem plation of Nature,’ by Mr. Bonnet, of Geneva; also, an extract from Mr. Deu- ton’s ‘Inquiry Into the Origin of the Discoveries Attributed to the An cients.’ ” The preface Is dated 1775. Wesley says In the preface: “I have long desired to see such a compendium of natural philosophy as was not too diffuse, not expressed In many words, but comprised In so mod- . erate a compass as not to require any large expense of time or money, not maimed or Imperfect, but containing the heads (after all our discoveries) of whatever Is known with any de gree of certainty either with regard to the earth or the heavens; but I can not find such a treatise as this In any mod em any more than ancient language. And I am certain there Is none such In the English tongue.” "I am thoroughly sensible,” he con tinue* In the preface, "there are many who have far more ability, as well as leisure, for such a work than me; but ns none of them undertake It, I have myself made some little attempt In the ensuing volumes.” The abridgment of the work of Mr. Bonnet Is In the second volume, ns also Is tho extract from Mr. Deuton’s book, but the whole work receives Mr. Wesley’s approval and Indorsement, and Is put Into hls.nwn language. It may be taken a* embodying the opin ions John Wesley had thirty-four years before Darwin was bom, of the origin. 1st* have been straightened In an at tempt to Institute a positive criterion for the' line of demarkatlon between animal and vegetable beings, and equally so for that between vegetables and fossils. There Is such an obvious r datlon In the scale of beings, that appears Impossible to ascertain where one species ends and the other begins.” Again, on the same page, the missing link between the plant and th* animal fs given In the following: “But there are instances wherein nature ap- table functions In the same beings, and the polypus may be considered as the Intermediate link between the two kingdoms.” On page’242, volume 2, Wesley says: When we consider In a general view the composition of men and quadru- method and order of nature. This book contains the whole development theor In a form far more In accordance wit Speers." Wesley represents species as originating In the only place'hey can originate. In the eternal mind of the Creator. Species, types, patterns. Ideas mean about the same thing, and while these may be modified by environ ment, natural selection, etc., they can not, originate In nor can they hr changed by natural selection or envl ronment. Mr. Darwin and his son, Francis, both confess (pp. 264, 255, Life and Letters of Darwin). "We can not prove that a single species has changed.” Agassis asked Mr. Darwin one troublesome question: “If spe cie* do not exist, how can they vary?" This was the very question that Mr. Darwin failed to answer. All of u* can ate., vary species, but what the wort wants to know Is, How species cam* to be? Where did all th* types, patterns, species and Ideas In accordance with ..-hirh ihtni'u vmw mm* from? This which things grow come from? This question Is answered by John Wesley. He considers at length plants, insects, reptiles, fishes, birds, beasts and man. He treats also of minerals, metals and fossils, of stars, and the machinery of the heaven*. I shall take extracts fron) different parts of the work without reference to order, as my object Is to show that the whole evolution or development theory was In th* mind of Wesley long before Darwin was born. On page 117 he says: "There Is a near analogy between animals- and plants.” In a note on page 251 of volume 2, .In the part which Is an abridgment of the work of Mr. Bon net, of Geneva, It Is said: Natural- here Is with respect to all of them the same foundation of structure, dif ferently modlded In different species. In order to be convinced of this, we need only cast our eyes on those anat omical plates. In which are.represented the skeletons of divers animals that have been dissected. From man. the ape and horse, to the squirrel, weasel and mouse, we shall see, throughout, the same design, the same arrange ment, the same essential relations, ex cept In a few particulars.” On page 152, volume 2, he says; ‘There are no sudden changes In na ture; all Is gradual and elegantly va ried. There Is no being which has not, either above or beneath it, some that resemble It In certain characters and differ from It In others. • • • The polypus links the vegetable to the ani mal; the flying squirrel unites the bird to the quadruped; the ape bears af finity to the quadruped and the man." Again, on page 224, volume 2: "All Is metamorphosis in the physical world. Forma are continually chang ing. The quantity ’of matter alone ’ Invariable. The same substanro see successively Into three king doms. The same composition becomes by turns a mineral, nmnt, Insert, rep. tile, fish, bird, quadruped, man." On page 240, volume 2: "When the evolution begins In an organised whole, Its form differs so prodigiously from that which it will afterwards assume, that we should be apt to mistake It were It not to accompany It In all Its progress.” Again on page 245, volume 2: "Evo lution Is not uniform In all parts of the germ; they grow unequally, and this Inequlalty of growth may Influ ence the effects of contact, pressure, adhesion, etc.” On page 265, volume 2: ‘The same general design comprises all parts of the terrestrial creation.

IV ft THE EVOLUTIONARY This picture gives us the whole divine 'process In creation In the form of a tree. It correctly rep resents John Wesley's Ideas, as well as those of all evolutionists of the present time. Those who speak of man -coming from mon keys or from any lower species of life, do not understand what evolution means. Any one, by carefully considering this tree, will see that nothing but plants ever come from plants. Only trll- obltes come from trllobltes; only horses come from horses; only monkeys come from monkeys. The monkey limb remains a monks; a man, are only different strokes of this design.” On page 261, volume 2: "What a multitude of physiological truths that were unknown to us In the vegetable to us? How do these truths ap pear as paradoxes, and yet how evi dently are they demonstrated? Who can doubt that there exists an animal, a very animal, since It Is extremely voracious, whose young grows like branches and which, being cut to prices and actually minced, regenerates anew In all Its parts, and even In the small est fragments, that may be grafted by approximation or Inoculation, turned approx! Inside outward like a glove, afterwards cut, turned back and cut again, with out ceasing to live, grow, devour and multiply?” He continues and gives fie a lesson In humility, warning us not to Imagine we know everything. “It was not a lit season, therefore, to make general rules, to arrange nature, establish distributions, form systemat- id to raise an edifice, leal orders, am which future ages, better Instructed, will even dread to project. We have scarce any knowledge of the animal when we would undertake to deflne It. Because our knowledge Is at present In some measure Improved, shall we pre sume to think we thoroughly know It? How many animals are there that are even more strange than polypuses, and that would confound all our rea soning could-we discover them? It monkey limb remains a monkey limb throughout all generations. The topmost branch of the tree represents man. He comes last, ns Genesis and all evolutionists teach, because God saw the ne cessity of preparing a world for . him. ond all things necessary tor: his well-being, before He created him. Man could not have lived If- simply created, and. left hanging In the air, without any world be low him, or any heavens above him. But while mnn was the last to appear on the top of God's creative tree, he was the first In the mind of God, who created all things. The direction of the whole divine movement was toward man, God's child, from the beginning. As a self-conscious, self-determlnlng, self-active spirit, he came straight from the mind and heart of the Almighty. The process has been called evolution, not because one species comes from another, but because one divine Idea succeeds nnother In getting itself uttered by the eternal mind. God aaw proper to make the atoms and S lants and lower animals before le made man. That Is what Moses said, and that la what Wesley said, and that Is what the latest science declares. The esentlal thing about evolution Is that Ood created all things from within, rather than from without. Men make plow- stocks from the outside of the makes all that He has mads from the Inside of the elements of them. As transcendent, God Is other and distinct from all things, as Imms- neflt He Is the underlying thought or Logos of all things. .As trans cendent, according to Christian theology.

This was brought out one day when Hugh Price Hughes expressed his surprise to Mr. Pattlson that even his college hail no adequate memorial of the most distinguished fellow that ever adorned Its common room. "What other fellow of Lincoln,” added Mr. Hughes, "or Indeed of any Oxford col- lege, had twenty millions of avowed disciples In all parts of tho world with in less thou a century after his death?” "Twenty millions!” exclaimed Mr. Pat- tlaon, with a start, "twenty millions!

Shall we Imagine that we have penetrated into the Interior parts of the continent because we have taken a slight vlsw of some coasts at a distance?

He had In his veins th* best blood In England. On both sides he "belonged to an unbroken ancefttral succession of English gentlemen.” He was a fellow Sna Greek lecturer In Lincoln College when he was 22 years of age. Zeal and enthusiasm in behalf of men led him Into disregard of ecclesiastical rules. He was unsophisticated and simple and human enough to think that men were so valuable as to be worthy of saving at th* cost of prece dent. This was too much for the clergy of the time. They closed upon him the door ot every church In Eng land. Nothing was left him but the the known cannot be a model for the unknown, and that models have been varied ad Infinitum.” This gives us an all discoveries of truth In the universe. His ruilh In God was In no dangar of being overturned by some discovery that some one might make In the do- entire work on natural philosophy la written In the most simple and unso phisticated way. It never seemed to dawn on him that anything In God's material universe contradicted any thing In God’s spiritual universe. ■rot ‘ * He wrote these books for ths people called Methodists to read, that they might understand the method of God In crea tion, as far aa that method could be YOUNGEST CANTOR IS VISITING ATLANTA VIASTER ISRAEL ROTHSTEIN, BOY WONDER, TO CHANT IN SYNAGOGUE.
