TALMAGE DISPROVES “MISSING LINK" THEORY. At Every Stags of Human Life There i» Direct Evidence of Dlrina Will—Ua bridfeabls Gulf Between Mau and Beast. Portrait of an Evolutionist. jpopjrtght. 1898, American Press Asso- WASHINGTON, Aug. 28.—Dr. Talmage in this ditoourse advocates a Christian evolu tion in contradiction to an Infidel evolu tion and declares thafthe only radically improving force in the world is Chris tianity; text, Romans 1, 22, 28, “Pro fessing themselves to be wise, they became fools and changed the glory of the uncor ruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man, and to birds and four footed beasts and creeping things.” This is a full length portrait of an evo lutionist who substitutes the bestial origin for the divine origin. I showed you last week that evolution was contradicted by the Bible, by science, by observation and by common sense; that the Bible account of the creation of man and of brute and of the world, and the evolutionist’s account collided with each other as certainly as two express trains going in opposite direc tions at 60 miles the hour,-their locomo tives rticetingna tiie same track. I showed that all the evolution scientists, without iny exception, were pronounced infidels $ that evolution was a heathenism thousands 3f years old; that such men as Agassiz »nd Hugh Miller and Farraday and Daw ’ ran and Dana had for that doctrine of evo lution-unlimited contempt. I showed you that their favorite theory of the “survival of tie fittest*’ was an absurdity and an untruth, and that natural evolution was always downward anfi nevey upward, and that there had never been any improve ment for man or beast or World except through the direct gr indirect influence of our glorious Christianity. And in the closing part of that sermon I told you I Aras not a possimist, out an optiiiiist) tb&t Instead of it being 11 o’clock at night it is half past 5 in the morning. Now, I go on to teM you, it seems te uao that evolutionists are trying to impress the great masses of the people with the idea that there is an ancestral line lead ing from the primal germ on up through the serpent and on up through the, quad ruped and on up through the gorilla to man. They admit that there is a “miss ing link, ” as they call it, but there is not a missing link—it is a whole chain gone. Between the physical construction of the highest animal and the physical construc tion of the lowest man there is a chasm as wide as the Atlantic ocean. Evolutionists tell us that somewhere in central Africa or in Borneo there is a creature half way between the brute and the man, and that that creature is the highest step in the animal ascent and the lowest step in the human creation. But-what are the facts? The brain of the largest gorilla that was ever found is 80 cubic inches, while the brain of the moat ignorant man that was ever found is 70. Vast difference between 80 and 70. It needs a bridge of 40 arches to span that gulf. <4 Sridene* «IMvine Power. $| . Besides feat there i| a difference be tween the. gorilla and the man—a dif ference of blood globule, a difference of berve, a difference of muscle, a difference of bone, a difference of sinew. The horse is more like man in intelligence, the bird is more like him in musical capacity, the mastiff is more like him in affection, That eulogized beast of which we hear so much; represented on the walls of cities thou sands of years ago, is just as complete as it is now, showing that there has not been a particle of change. Besides that, if a pair of apes had a man for descendant, why would not alFthe apes have the same kind of descendants? Can it be that that one favored pair only was honored with human progeny? Besides that, evolution says that as one species rises to another species the old type dies off. Then how is it that there are whole kingdoms of chimpanzee and gorilla and baboon? The evolutionists have come together and have tried to explain a bird’s wing. Their theory has always been that a faculty of an animal while being developed must always be useful and always beneficial, but the wing of a bird, in the thousands of years it was being developed, so far from being any help must have been a hindrance until it could be brought into practical use away on down in the ages. Must there not have been an intelligent Will somewhere that formed that wonder ful flying instrument, so that a bird 600 times heavier than the air can mount it and put gravitation under claw and beak? That wonderful mechanical instrument, the wing, with between 20 and 80 differ ent apparati curiously constructed, does it not.lmply a divine intelligence? Does it not imply a direct act of some outside be ing? All the evolutionists in the world cannot explain a bird’s wing or an in- Beat’s wing. So they are confounded by the rattle of the rattlesnake. Ages before that reptile had any enemies this warning weapon was created. Why was it created? When the reptile, far back in the ages, had no en emies, why this warning weapon? There muat-have been a divine intelligence fore seeing and knowing that in agea to come that reptile would have enemies, and then this warning weapon would be brought into use. You see evolution at every step is a contradiction or a monstrosity. At every stage of animal life as well as at every stage of human life there is evidence of direct action of divine will. No Kinahlp Between Man and Beaat. Besides that, it is very evtafcnt from an other fact that we are an entirely different creation and that there is no kinship. Tiie animal tea few hours or months comes to full strength and can take care of itself. The human race for the first one, two, three, five, ten years Is In com plete helplessness. The chick just come out of Its shell begins to pick up its own food. The dog, the wolf, the lion, soon earn their own livelihood and act for their own defense. The human race does not come to development until 20 or 30 years of age, and by that time the animals that were born the samo year the man was born; the vast majority of them, have died of old age. This shows there is no kinship, there li nt> similarity. If we had been bera ot th» heart, we would have had the beast’s strength at tiie start or it would have had our weakness. Not only different, but opposite. Darwin admitted that tbe dovecot "pigeon has not changed in thousands of years. It is demonstrated over and over again that the liftifrd on tbe lowest forma tion of rocks was just as complete as the lizard now. It is shown that tbe ganoid, the first fish, was just as complete as the eturgeon, another name tor the some flsh now. Darwin’s entire system is a guess, Bnd Huxley and John. Stuart Mill and. Tyndall and especially Professor Haeckel some to help him In the guew, and gUOM ■ about the brute, and guess about man, and guess about world*, l ut as to having one solid foot ot ground to stand on they nev er have had it and never will have it. 1 put in opposition to those evolutionist theories the inward consciousness that we have no consanguinity with the dog that fawns at our feet, or the spider that crawls on the wall, or the fish that flops in the frying pan, or the crow that swoops on the field carcase, or the swine that wallows in the mire. Everybody sees the outrage it would be to put aside the Bible record that Abraham begat Isaac, and Isaac bo gat Jacob, and Jacob begat Judah, for the record that the microscopic animalcule be gat the tadpole, and the tadpole begat the polliwog, and the polliwog begat the ser pent, and the serpent begat the quadruped, and the quadruped begat the baboon, and the baboon begat man. The evolutionists tall us that the apes were originally fond of climbing the trees, but after awhile they lost their prehensile power and therefore could not climb with any facility, and hence they surrendered monkeydom and set up in business as men. Failures as apes, successes as me®. According to the evolutionists, a man is a bankrupt monkey. God the gather. I pity the person who in every nerve and muscle and bone and mental faculty and spiritual experience does not realize that he is higher in origin and has had a grander ancestry than the beasts which perish. However degraded men and wom en may be, and though they idayhave foundered on the rooks of crime andsln, and though we shudder as we pass them, nevertheless there is something within us that tells us they belong to the same groat brotherhood and sisterhood of our race, and our sympathies are aroused in regard to them. But gazing upon the swiftest gazelle, or upon the tropical bird of most flamboyant wing, or upop the curve of grandest courser’s neck, we feel there is no consanguinity. It is hot that wo are stronger than they, for the Mon with one stroke of his paw could put us into the dust. It is not that we have better eye sight, for the eagle can descry a mole a mile away. It is not that we are fleeter of foot, for a roebuck in a flash is . out of sight, just seeming to touch the earth as he goes. Many of the animal creation sur passing us in fleetness of font and in keen ness of nostril and in strength of limb, but notwithstanding all that there is some thing within us that tells us we are of ce lestial pedigree. Not of the mollusk, not of the rizlpod, not of the primal germ, but of tie living and omnipotent God. Lin eage of the skies. Genealogy of heaven. I tell you plainly that, if yOur father was a muskrat and your mother an opos sum and your great-aunt a kangaroo and the toads and the snapping turtles were your illustrious predecessors, my father was God. I know it, I feel it. It thrills through me with an emphasis and an ecstasy which all your arguments drawn from anthropology and biology and zoolo gy and morology and paleontology and all the other Ologies can never shake. Evolution is one great mystery. It hatches out 60 mysteries, and the 60 hatch out 1,000, and the 1,000 hatch out 1,000,- 000. Why, my brother, not admit the one great mystery of God and have that settle all the other mysteries? I can more easily appreciate the fact that God, by one stroke of his omnipotence, could make man than I could realize how out of 5,000,000 ages he could have evolved one, putting on a little here and a little there. It would have been just as great a miracle for God to have turned an orang outang into a man as to make a man out and out, the one job just as big as the other. Give God a Place. It seams to me wo had bettor let God have a little place in our world somewhere. It seems to me if we cannot have him make all creatures we had better have him make two or throe. There ought to be some place where he could stay without interfering With the evolutionists. “No, ” says Darwin, and so for years he is trying to raise fantailed pigeons and to turn these fantail pigeons into some other kind of pigeons or to have them go into some thing that is not a pigeon—turning them into quail or barnyard fowl or brown thrasher. But pigeon it is. And others have tried with the ox and the dog and the horse, but they staid in their species. If they attempt to cross over, it is a hy brid, and a-hybrid is always sterile and goes into extinction. There has been only one successful attempt to pass over from speechless animal to the articulation of man, and that was the attempt which Balaam witnessed in the beast that he rode, but an angel of the Lord with drawn sword soon stopped that long eared evolu tionist. But says some one, “If we cannot have God make a man, let us have him make a horse.” “Oh, no!” says Huxley in his great lectures in New York years ago. No, he does not want any God around the premises. God did not make the horse. Tho horse came of the pliohlppus, and tbe pllohippus came from the protohippus, and the protohippus came from the miohippus, and the miohippus came from the mesbo hippus, and the meshohippus came from the orohippus, and so away back, all the living creatures, we trace it In a line until we get to the moneron, and no evidence of divine intermeddling with the erection until yon get to the moneron, and that, Huxley says, is of so low a form of life that the probability is it just mad© itself or was the result of spontaneous genera tion. What a narrow escape from the ne cessity of having a God! As near as I can tell, these evolutionists seem to think that God at the start had not made up his mind as to exactly what he would make, and having made up his mind partially be has been changing it all through the ages. I believe that God made the world as he wanted to have it, and that the happiness of all the species will depend upon their staying in the species where they were created. Parliament of Blasts. Once upon a time there was in a natural amphitheater of the forest a convention of animals, and a gorilla from western Africa came in with his 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 free tope. And a delegation of reptiles came in, and they took their position in tho pit of the valley. And the tiers of rooks were occu pied by the delegation of intermediate ani mals, and there was a great aquarium, and a canal leading Into it, through which came the monsters of the 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 of protoplasm. Then this gorilla of the Afri can forest with hie dub pounded again, “Order, order!” 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 wo move up into the human race and be beasts no longer! Too long already have we been htinted and . *- eaged ud harnessed. We th*]’ stand M no longer." ?- At that speech 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 at the earthand the human race, but an old lion arose, his mane white with many years, and he ut tered his voice, and when that old lion ot tered his voice al! the other beasts ot the forest were still, and ho said: “Pence, brothers and sisters of the forest. I think We have been placed in the spheres for which we were intended. I think our Creator knew the place that was good for us. ” He oould proceed no further, for the whole convention broke out to an taproar like the house of commons when the Irish question comes up or the American con gress the night of adjournment, and tho reptiles hissed with indignation at tLj leonine Gam bet to, and tho frogs croaked their contempt, and tho bears gyowled their contempt, and ti.<- panthers snarled their disgust, and tfio insects buzzed and buzzed with excitement, and, though the gorilla of the African forest with hli» club pounded “Order! Order!” there was no order, and there was a thrusting out of adderine sting and a swinging of ele«. phantino tusk end a stroke of beak and a swing of claw until it seemed as if the convention wonld be massacred. Just at that moment, at the door of this natural amphitheater of the forest, the curtain of the leaves lifted, and the bolts and bars of the tree branches were shoved back, and there appeared Agassiz and Audubon and SUliman and Moses, and Agassis cried out: “Oh, you beasts of the forests, I have studied your ancestral rec ords and found you always have been beasts, yon always will be beasts! Be content to be beasts!” And Audubon aimed his gun at a baldbeaded eagle which dropped from the gallery and aa it dropped struck a serpent that was winding around one of the pillars to get up higher, and Billlman threw a rock of the tertiary for mation at the mammals, and Moses thun dered, “Every beast after Its kipd, every bird after its kind, every fish after its kind!” And, 10, the parliament of wild beasts was prorogued and went home to their constituents, and the bat flew out into tiie 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 germs, and a clumsy buffalo upset the protoplasm, and the lion went to his 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, peace in the waters, peAce in the fields! Man in his place; thebeastsof tho earth in their places. An Absurd Theory. , But, my friends, evolution is not only infidel and atheistic and absurd. It is brutalizing in its tendencies. If there is anything in the world that will make a man bestial to hie habits, it is the idea that he was descended 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 herds. To be sure, we browse on better pasture, and we have better stall and bet ter accommodations, but then we are only Southdowns among tho great , looks of sheep. Born of a beast, to die like a beast, for tee evolutionists have no idea of a fu ture world. They say the mind is only a superior part of tho body. They say our thoughts are 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 oow, tho horse, the sheep, the man, the reptile. An nihilation 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 of frogs—to an'Mea in one or two stanzas which I quote from an old book of more than Demosthenic or Homeric or Dantesquo power: “What is man that thou art mindful of him? And the eon of man, that thou visitest him? Thou hast made him a little lower than Che angels and hast crowned him with glory and hon or. Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hand. Thou hast put all things under his feet. All sheep and oxen—yea, and the beasts of the field, the fowl of the air, and the fish of the sea, and whatsoever passeth through the paths of the seas. O Lord, our Lord, how ex cellent is thy name in all the earth. ” A Great Varelllag. j' How do you like that origin? The lion the monarch of the field, the eagle the monarch of the air, behemoth the monarch of the deep, but man monarch of all! Ah, my friends, I have to say to you that I am not so anxious to know what was my origin as to know what will be my destiny. I do not care so much where I came from as where lam going to. I .am not so in terested in who was my ancestry 10,000,- 000 yean ago as I am to know where I will be 10,000,000 years from now. lam not so much interested in the preface to my cradle as I am interested in the ap pendix to my grave. I do not care so much about protoplasm as I do about eternasm. The “was" is overwhelmed with the “to be. ” And here comes in the evolution I believe in-»not natural evoltr tion? but gracious and divine and heavenly evolution—evolution out of sin Into holi ness, out ot grief into gladness, out of mortality into immortality, out of earth into heaven. That is the evolution I be lieve in. Evolution from evolvere, unrolling! Unrolling of attributes, unrolling of re wards, unrolling of experience, unrolling of angelic companionship, unrolling of di vine glory, unrolling of providential ob scurities, unrolling of doxologies, unroll ing of rainbow to canopy the throne, un rolling of a new heaven and a new earth in which to dwell XttfhteotfWww Oh, the thought overwhelms me! I have not the physical snduiuuee te consider it. Monarehrmr earth ot all lower orders of creation-and then lifted to be hierarchs in heaven. Masterpiece of God’s wisdom and goodness, our humanity; masterpiece at divine grace, our enthronement. I put one foot on Darwin’s “Origin of the Spe cies,and I put tho other foot on Spen cer’s “Biology," and then, holding in one hand the book of Moses, I see our Genesis, and, holding in the other hand the book Revelation, I see our cetaitiAl arrival. For all wan I prescribe the Bethlehem chant of tite angels, for all sepulchers I prescribe the archangel’s trumpet, for all the earthly griefs f prescribe tho hand that wipes away all tears from all eyes. Not an evolution from beast to man, bat an evolution from contestant &> conqueror, and from the struggle with wild beasts in the arena of the amphitheater to a soft, high, blissful seat to the King’s galleries.
