A Martyr to
Diarrhoea.
Tells of relief from suffering by
Dr. Fowler's Ext. of Wild Strawberry.
There are many people martyrs to
bowel oomplaints *ho would find Dr. -
Fowler,s Extract of waa Strawberry a
wonderful blessing to them. It not only
checks the diarrlicea but imothea andheals
the inflamed and irritated bowel, so that
pennon; t relief is obtained.
Mn. -• drew Jackson, Houghton, Ont,
sends a following letter: "Far the
past two or three,
years I have been a`
tnartyr tothat dread-
ful disease diarrhoea.
• I tried every remedy
I heard of and spent
a good deal of money
trying to get cured'
but all failed until
I happened to read
of a -lady who was
cured by using Dr.
Fowler's katract of
Wia Str&wborry. I purchased a bottle

highly for what it did for me."

Washington, Aug. 21.—The question
Of human origin, so prominent now In
scientific and religious circles, is dismissed
in cheracteristio style by Dr. Talnlage in
this discourse, irs which he also advocates
the theory that all the world's rogress
has porno through Christianity: text, I.
Timothy vi, 20, "0 Timothy, keep that
whielt is committed to thy trust, avoid.
Ing oppositions of science falsely, so

There is no contest between genuine
•scionce and revelation. The same God
who by the hand of prophet wrote on
-parchment, by the hand of the storm
wrote on the rack. The best telescopes
and microscopes and- electric batteries
and philosophical apparatus belong to
Christian universities. Who gave us mag-
netic telegraphy? Prbfessor Morse, a
Christian. Who swung the lightninge

ties of chloroform, doing more for the re-
lief of human pain than any man that
ever lived, driving hack nine -tenths of
the horrors of surgery? James Y. Simp-
son of Edinburgh, as eminent for piety
as for science, on weekdays in the uni-
versity lecturing on profoundest scientific
subjects and on Sabbaths preaching the
gospel of Jesus Christ to the masses of
Edinburgh. I saw the universities of that
city draped in mourning for his death,
and I heard his eulogy pronounced by
the destitute populations of the Cowgate.
Science and revelation are the pass and
soprano of the same tune. The whole
world will yet achnowledge the complete
harmony, but between what my text
describes as science. falsely so called, and
revelation there is an uncompromising
war, and one or th'e other must go under.
At the pregent Ulna the air is filled
with social and platform and pulpit talk
about evolution, and it is high time that
the people who have not time to make in-
iestigation for themselves understand
that evolution, in the first place, Is up
and down, out and out infidelity; in the
second place, it is contrary to the facts of
science and, in the third place, that it is
brutalizing in its tendencies. I do not
argue that t'As is a genuine book, I do
not say that the Bible is worthy of any
kind of credence—those are subjects for
other Sabbaths—but I want you to under-
stand that Thomas Paine and Hume and
:Voltaire no more thoroughly disbelieved
the Holy Scriptures than do all the lead;
Ing scientists who believe in evolutio/ni
And when I say scientists of course I do
not mean literary men or theologians
who in essay or in sermon and without
giving their life to scientific investigation
look at the subject on this side or that.
By scientists l' mean those who have a
specialty in that direction and ' who

"F." Professor Heckel, in the very first
page of his two great volumes, sneers at
the Bible as a so-called revelation. Tyn-
dall in his famous prayer test, defied the
whole of Christendom to show that hu-
man supplication made any difference in
the result of things. John Stuart Mill
wrottit elaborately against Christianity,
and to show that hie rejection of it was
complete ordered this epitaph for his
tombstone, "Most Unhappy." Huxley
said that at the first reading of Darwin's
bocsk he was convinced of the fact that
teleology had received its death blow at
the hand of Mr. Darwin. All the leading
scientists who believe in evolution, with-
out one exception the world over, are
infidel. I say nothing against infidelity,
mind you. I only wish to define the be-
lief and the meaning of the rejection.
•
Evolution Is Infility.
Now, I put opposite to ea h other; to
show that evolution is- infidelity, the
Bible account of how the human race
started and the evolutionist account of
how the human race started. Bible a0 -
count: "God said let us mike nian in
our image. God created man in his own
Image, male and female created he them."
He breathed into him the breath of life,
the whole story setting ,forth the idea
that it was nota perfect kangaroo or a
perfect orann outang, but a perfect man.
That is the Bible accOunt. The evolution

•Me accounts, he makes an aPpalling
misrepresentation.
Prefer, if you will, Darwin's "Origin
of the Species" to the kook of Genese,•
but know you are an iiistRiel. .As for my-
self, as Herbert Speneerwas not present
at the creation and the Lorel Almighty
was•present, I prefer to take the divine
amount as to whatireally occurred on that
occasion. To show that this evolution
only an attempt to eject Godani to poet -
pont him, and to put him clear out of
epoch I ask a queetion or two. The ba-
boon made the man; and the wolf made
the baboon, and the reptile made the
quadruped, and the fish made the reptile,
and the tadpole made the fish, and the
primal germ made the tadpole. Who
made the primal germ? Most of the evo-
lutionists say, "We don't knoti." Others
say it made itself. Others say it ram spon-
taneous generation. Theis is not one of
them who will fairly etnd openly and
frankly and emphatically say, "God
made it."
The nearest to a direct. answer is that
made by Herbert Spencer in which he
says. it was made by the great "unknow-
able mystery." But here comes Huxley
with a cup of protoplasm to- explain the
thing. This protoplasm, he says, Is pri-
mal life giving quality with which the
race away back in the ages was started.
With his protoplasm he proposes to ex-.
plain -everything. Dear Mr. Huxley, who
made the protoplasm?
To show you that evolution Is Infidel I
place the Bible account of how the brute
creation was started opposite to the evoL
lutionisb's account of the way the brute
creation was started. Bible -account: You
know the Bible tells how that the birds;
were made' at one time, and the cattle
made at another time, and the fish made
at another time, and that each brought
forth after its kind. Evolutionist's ac-
count: From four 'or five primal germs
or seminal spores 411 tholiving oreat•ures
evolved. Hundredslof thousands of speeds:le
.of insects, of reptiles, of beasts, of flab,
fronefour germs—e statement con- _
tradicting not only the Bible,but the very
A B C .of science. A species never (level -
one hate anything but its. own speisies. In
all the ages and in alt the world there
line never been .an exception to it. The
*shark never conies of a whale, nor the
pigeon of a vulture, nor the butterfly of
a wasp. Species never cross over. If there.
be an attempt at Wit is hybrid, and the
hybrid is alwayssterile and has no de-
scendants.
These men of science tell us that: 1001-
000 species came from four when the law
all through the universeis that, starting
. In one species, it keeps on in that species,
and there would be only four now If
there had been four at starting. If I
should say to you that the world' le ifiat,
and that a circle and a. square are the
same, and that twice two make 15, I
would coine jut as near the truth as
-w-hen these evolutionists tell you that
100,000 species came from four. Evolu-
tion woild have been left out of question
with its theory flatly contradicting all
observations and all science had not its
authors and tbeir disciples been so set On
ejecting (3od from the universe and de-
stroying the Bible that they will go to
any length, though it hied them- into idi-
otic absurdity. You see what the Bible
teaches in regard to it. I baye shown you
also what evolution teaches in regard to
it.
Agassiz says that he found ip a reef of
Florida the remains of insects 30,00
years old—not 3,000 but 80,000 years old
=eatid that they were just like the insects
now. -There has been no change. All the
facts of oraith,ologyt and zoology and
ichthyology -and eanchology but an echo
of Genesis first and twenty-first, "Every
winged fowl.af tee his kind." Every -crea-
ture after its kind. When cominon observ-
ation and science corroborate the Bible,
I will stultify myself by surrendering to
the elaborated guesses of evolutionists. -
To show that evolution is infidel X
place also the Bibie account of, how
worlde were made opposite the evolution-
ist's account of how worlds were made.
Bible account: God made two great
lights—the one to rule the day, the other
to rule the night; he made the stars also.
Evolutionist account: Away back in the
ages there was a fire mist or star dust,
and this flre mist cooled off into granite.
and then this granite by earthquake and
by storm and by light was shaped into
mountains and valleys and seas, and so
what was originally fire mist became
what we call the -earth.
The terit Cause.
Who made the fire mist? Who sat the
fire mist to worldmaking? Who cooled off
the fire mist into granite? You have
pushed God some 60,000,000 or 70,000,000
miles from the earth, but .he is too near
yet for the health of evolution. For a
great while the eyolutionists boasted that
they had found the very stuff out of
which this world and all worlds were •
made. They lifted the telescope and they
saw it, the very Material out of which
worlds.made themselves. Nebula of sim-
ple gas. They laughed in triumph be-
cause they had found the factory where
the worlds were manufactured, and there
was no God anywhere around the factory.
But in an unlucky, hour for infidel evo-
lutionists the spectroscopes of Fraunhofer
and Kirchoff were invented, by which
they saw intoithat nebula and found it
was not a• siinple gas, but was a coin -
pentad, and hence had to be supplied from
some other source, and that implied a
God, and away weut their theory, shat-
tered into everlasting demolition.
Agassiz says: "The manner in whicb.
the evolution theory in zoology is treated
would lead these who are not special
zoologists to suppose that °Nervations
have been made by whit& it can be itt.
ferred that there is in nature such a
thing as change among organized beings
actually taking place. There is -no such
thing,on record. It is shifting the ground
of observation from one field of observa-
tion to another to make this statement,
and when ehe assertions go so far as to
exclude from the (amain of solemn those
who will not be dragged into this Mire of
• mere assertion then it is time to protest.'
With equal vehemenee against the doo-
trine of evolution Hugh Millereltarraday,
Brewster, Dana, Dawson and hundreds
of 'scientists in this country and 'other
countries have made protest.
There is one tenet of evolution which
it is demanded we adopt—that which
Darwin calls 'natural selection" and
that which Wallace calls the "survived of '
the fittest." By this they mean thet the
human race andthe brute creation are
all the time improving because the weak
die and the strong 'live. Those who do
not die survive because they are the fit-
test. They say the breed of sheep and
cattle and dogs and men is all the time
improving, naturally improving..$o nded

mere natural progress is concerned, once
there werennen 10 feet high; now ith
average is about 5 feet 6 inches. It start
ed with men living ' 200. 400, 800,1900
years, and now 30 years is more than the
average of human life. Mighty progres
eie-have made, haven't we? I went into
the cathedral .at York, England, and the
best *artists In England had just been
painting a window in that cathedral,
and right beside it was a window painted
400 years ago; and there is not a mai on
earth but woeld say tnat the modern
painting of the window by the best
artiets of England is not worthy of being
compared with the painting, of 400 years
ago right beside it. Vast improvement,
as I shall show you in a minute or two,
but no natural evolution. •
Look at Chime, where evolution has
had full swing for thousands of years un-
interrupted by anything eidept here and
there a mission station with this defunct
book, the Bible, but through the most
of the realm not interfered, with. What
has evolution done for China? ,Christian
civilization goes- in and builds a railroad;
they tear it up. Teor 1,600 years the
Chinese nation, where it is not invaded
by the gospel, has not made oriefive-hun-
dredonillionth part of an inch of advance-
ment. They vVorship the same gods of red
paint. .Justao always they drown the
female children as a nuisance. Just as
always they eat with chopsticks. Sol in
India, so in Arabia, so -tin Turkey. so
‘tererywhere where the gospel has not
made an invasion. •
Evoluti Oil Downward.
I tell you, my friends, that natural
evolution is not upward, but it is always
downward. Hear Christie account of la
"gut g
Fifteenth Matthew and nineteenth vlse,
of the heart proceed evil thonts,
murders, adulteries, fornication& thefts,
false witness, blasphemies." That is
what Christ said of evolution. Give na-
tural evolution full swing in our world
and it will evolve into two hemispheres
of crime, two hemispheres of peniten-
tiary, two hemispheres of lazaretto, two
hemispheres of brophel. New York
Tombs, Moyaniensing prison, Philadel-
phia Seven Dials, London and Cowgats,
Edinburgh, only festering carbuncles on
the face and neck of natural evolution.
See what the Bible says about the heart
and then what evolution says about the
heart. Evolution says, "Better and bet-
ter and better gets the heart by natural
Improvement." The Bible says: "The
heart is deceitful above all thinge and
desperately wicked. Who can know it?"
When you can evolve fragrance from
malodor, and eau evolve an oratorio frorn
a buzzsaw, and can evolve fall pipping
from a basket of decayed crab apples,
then you oan by natural evolution from
the human heart develop -goodness. Ah,
my friends, nettled{ evolution is always
downward; it is never upward.
What is remarkable about tide thing is
it is all the time developing its honesty.
In our day it is ascribing this evolution
ere Herbert Spencer and Charles Darwin,.It is a dishonesty. Evolution was knowb
and advocated hundreds of years before
these gentlemen began to be evolved.
The Phoenicians; thousands of years ago
declared that the human race wabbied
out of the mud. Demooritus, who lived
460 years before Christ—remember-that
—knew this doctrine of evolution when
he said: "Everything is 'composed of
atoms, or infinitely small elements, each
with it definite quality, form and move-
ment, whose inevitable union and separa-
tion shape all different things and forms,
laws and efforts, and dissolve them again
foir new combinations. The gods them-
selves and the human mind originated.
1rom such stems. There are no casualties.
Everything is necessary and ,determined
by the nature of the atoms which have
certain mutaal affinities, attractions and
repulsions." Anoximander centuries ago
declared that the 'human race started at
the place where the sea saturated the
earth. Lucretius developed long centuries
ago, in his poems, the doctrine of 'evolu-
tion.'
It is an old heathen corpse set up in a
morgue. Charles Darwin and Herbert
Speucer have tried to galvanize it. They
drag this old putrefaction of 3,000 years
around the earth, boasting that it is their
originality, and so vvenderful is the in-•
fatuation that at the Delmonico dinner
given in honor of Herbert Spencer some
15 years age there were those who
ascribed to him this great originality of
volution. There the banqueters sat
ound the table in honor of Herbert

• Pepper in Olden Times.
Dr. Adolph Miller of Philadelphia,
president of the Pennsylvania Mycologi-
cal Club, in a dissertation on the pepper
plant, says that during the middle ages
III Europe pepper was the most esteemed
and important of all the spices. Genoa,
Venice and other commercial cities of
central Europe were indebted to their
traffic in pepper for a large part of their
1 wealth. Its importance as h means of
promoting commercial activity and civili-
zation during the Middle ages cen hardly
be overrated. Tribute was lorded in pep-
per, and donations were mikde in this
spice, which was frequently also used as
a medium of exchange in place of nioney.

Moved by Alario, the king of the Goths,
in 408 A.D., the ransom demanded in-
cluded 5,000 pounds of gold, 30,000
pounds of silver and 3,000 pounds of pep-
per, illuttrating the importance of this
spice At that time.

G -rent Sins.
The great danger in the Christian life
is the supposition , that only great sins
affeat the life. Onthe contrary, it is rare
that the evil comes in like a flood. There
Is in the embankment the little crack
through which the water trickles almost
.unobserved, and in such small quantity
that it ia not regarded as worthy of effort
to restrain. But each minute it works its
deadly work, removing particle after, par •

It opens the way for the giving away of
