power and therefore could nc-t climb with
any facility, a?td hence they surrendered

Parliament of Bvamta,
Once upon a t ime there was In a natural
amphitheater of the forest a convention of
animals, and a gorilla from western Africa
came in with Ins club and pounded “Or
der!” Then he sat down in a chair of
twisted forest root. The delegation of
birds came In and took their position In
the galleries of the hills and the tree, tope.
And a delegation of reptiles camo in, and
they took t.holr position In the pit of tho
valley. And the tiers of rocks were occu
pied by tho di'legntlon of intermediate ani
mals, and there was a great aquarium, and
a ca.iml leading into It, through which
came tho monsters of tho deep to join the
great convention. And on one table of
rock there were four or five primal germs
under a glass case, and in a cup on anoth
er table of rock there was a quantity of
protoplasm. Then this gorilla of the Afri
can forest with his club pounded again,
“Order, order I” and then he cried out:
“Oh, you great throng of beasts and birds
and reptiles and insects, I have called you
together to propose that we move up Into
tho human race and be beasts no longer!
Too long already have we l>een hunted and
raged and havnessod We shall stand W
no longer.”
At that Hj>eech the whole convention
broke out Into roars of enthusiasm like as
though there were many menageries being
fed by their keepers, and it did seem as If
the whole convention would march right
up and take possession of the earth and
the human raw, but an old Hon arose, bis
mane white with many years, and he ut
tered his voice, and when that old lion ut
tered his voice all the other beasts of the
forest were still, and he said: “Peace,
brothers and sisters of tho forest. I think
We have been placed in the spheres for
which we were intended. 1 think our
Creator knew the place that was good for
us.” He could proceed no further, for the
whole convention broke out In nn uproar
Ilk- the house of commons when the Irish
question conies up or the American con
gress the night of adjournment, and the
reptiles hissed with indignation at the
loo: lue Ga n betta, and the frogs croaked
tec Ir contempt, and the Lears growled
their contempt, and the panthers snarled
their disgust, ami the In-tivts buzzed and
buzzed with excitement, and, though the
gorilla of tho African forest with his club
pounded “Order! Order!” there was no
ore t. and there was a thrusting out of
adderlne sting and a swinging of ele
ph;.ntine tusk ami a stroke of beak and a
swing of claw until It seemed as If the
convention would be massacred.
Just at that moments at the door of this
natural amphitheater of the forest, the
curtain of the leaves lifted, and the bolts
and liars of ti e tret'' branches were shoved
back, and there appeared Agassiz and
Audubon and SUltman and Moses, and
Agassiz cried out: “Oh, you beasts of tho
forests, I have studied your ancestral rec
ords and 'found you always have been
beasts, you always will t>e beasts! Be
content to be beasts!” And Audubon
aimed his gun at a b>ildhf»ded eagle which
dropped from the gallery and as it dropped
strnck a serpent that was winding around
one of the pillars to get np higher, and
Sil liman threw a rock of the tertiary for
mation at the mammals, and Moses thun
dered, “Every beast after Its kind, every
blr»l after its kind, every fish after its
kind!” Aud. 10. the parliament of wild
bixvste was prorogued and went home to
their constituents, and the bat flew out
Into the night, and the lizard slunk under
the rock, and the gorilla went back to the
jungle, and a hungry wolf passing out ate
up the primal germa, and a clumsy buffalo
upset the protoplasm, and kbe lion went
to bis lair, and the eagle went to his eyrie,
and the whale went to his palace of crystal
and coral, and there was peace—peace In
the air, peaoe Ln the waters, peace in the
fields. Man in his place; thelxastaof the
earth Ln their places.
An Absurd Theory.
But, my friends, evolution la not only
infidel and atheistic and absurd. It is
brutalizing in Its tendenotes. If there is
anything in the world that will make a
man bestial In his habita, it is the idea
that be was deeoendod from the beast.
Why, according to the idea of these evolu
tionists, we are only_a .superior kind of
cattle, a sort of Alderney among other
berda. To be sure, we browse on better
pasture, and we have better stall and bet
ter accnuiniodations. but then w« are only
Southdown* among the great flocks of
sheep. Born of a beast, to die like a beast,
for th* evolutionists have no Idea of a fu
ture world. They say the mind is only a
superior part of the body. They say our
thoughts an* only molecular formation.
They say when the body dies the whole
nature dies. The slab of the sepulcher is
not a milestone on the journey upward,
but a wall shutting us Into eternal noth
ingness. We all die alike—the cow, the
horse, the sheep, the man, the reptile. An
Sibilation is the heaven of the evolutionist.
From such a stenchful and damnable doc
trine turn away. Compare that idea of
your origin—an Idea filled with the chat
ter of apes and the hiss of serpents and the
croak <>f frogs—to an idea in one or two
stanzas which I quote from an old book of
more than Denmethenio or Homeric or
power- * What is man that
thou art mindful of him? And the son of
man, that thou vtHitest him? Thou hast
made him n little lower than the angels
and hastcrownetl him with glory and hon
or. Thon mad< st. him lo have dominion
over the works of thy hand. Thou hast
put all thing.? under ids feet. All sheep
and oxen—yea, and the benste irf the field,
the fowl of the nlr, and tho fish of the sea,
and whateoevvr pnswth through bbo paths
of the seas. O L«rd. our Ijord, how ex
cellout V? thy name in all the earth.”
A Great Unrolling.
How do you like that origin? Tho lion
the monarch of the field, the eagle th®
monarch of tho air, bohometh the monarch
of the deep, but man monarch of all! Ah,
my frlouds, 1 have to aaj to you that I am
not so anxious to know what was my

much about protoplasm as I do about

with the “to be.” And here comes in tho
evolution I believe In—not natural evolv
tion, hut gracious and divine and heavenly
evolution—evolution out of sin into holt
ncsß, out nt grief into gladness, out of
mortality Into immortality, out of <xirth
into heaven. That G tiuj evoluthm I be
Hove in.
Evolution from evolvere, nurnJllngl

lug of rainbow to canopy the throne, un
rolling of a new heaven nnd a new earth
in which to dwell righteousness. Oh. the
thought overwhelms inel I have not the
physical endurance to consider it.
Monarchs on earth of all lower orders of
creation and then lifted to be hierarchs in

Revelation, I see our celestial arrival.

Notnn evolution from beast to man, but

Miss Helen Gould Looking Out After Wants

Camp Wlkoff, Montauk Point, L. 1.,
August 23 —(By Mail.) —Mrs. John A. Lo
gan and Miss Helen Gould are notable
figures about the thoroughfares at Mon
tauk Mies Gould In her plain dress and
simple manner detains as many of the
boys of the Sixth U. S. I. as she can and
takes their names, and finds, by very cute
questioning of each individual, about what
clothing he has, and as her secretary jots
down those badly needed she makes her
self known and says: “The articles', you
need will be wired for and tomorrow you
shall have them.”
Mrs. Logan Is working with the Red
Cross Society, and I find, though silvery
white as her hair may be, she Is very spry
and moves about unattended and directs
the needs of sick to be supplied quickly,
and has wagons on the spot to carry out
her demands.
Mrs. W. A. Downs, wife of Colonel
Downs, of the Seventy-first New York
volunteer infantry, is also a noticeable
figure, and she, too, has a big heart for
the soldier boys, and by her diligence and
hustling qualities she Is making many a
poor boy remember home and mother.

MACON NEWS MONDAY EVENING,
SOUTHERN’S EARNINGS
What the Big System Has Done During the
Last Year.
The fourth annual report of the Southern
Railway has just come from the prese.
The company’s gross earnings from oper
ations for the year ending June 30, 1898,
were 22,000,000 in round figures, and the
net earnings from operations were |6,593,-
>74. This was an increase of nearly $748.-
000 over the net earnings for the previous
year.
The Southern had to pay out $5,862,767
for interest and rentals. The balance car
ried to credit of profit and loss was more
than $1,000,000.
In the report are included the earnings
of 'the Memphis and Charleston for four
months.
During the year the system’s mileage

HOW TD LOOK GOOD.
Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy con
dition of all the vital organs. If the liver
is inactive, you have a bilious look; if
your stomach Is disordered, you have a
dyspeptic look; if your kidneys are af
fected, you have a pinched look. Secure
good health, and you will surely have good
looks. “Electric Bitters” Is a good Altera
tive and Tonic. Acts directly on the stom
ach, liver and kidneys, purifies the blood,
cures pimples, blotches and bolls, and
gives a good complexion. Every bottle
guaranteed. Sold at H. J. Lamar & Sons’
Drug Store. 50 cents per bottle.
