ORIGIN OF MAN
NOT CREATED BY GOD. COUSIN TO THE APES. Pr<wa Association—By T«l«gr&ph—Copyright. LONDON, October 23. (Received Oct. 24, at 5.5 p.m.) Canon Barnes, in a piper read before the Church Congress at Southend, doc tared that systematic scientific observation had practically proved that a mam was not created _by God. "Man," say! Canon Barnes, " is the end of a vast evolutionary process of Divine design. Man is cousin to the apes, bis ancestry going back through the amphibians to the fish. Such a discovery gives all our speculations a vastly different background from that of the theologians -who elaborated tlio doctrine of Trinity. Like them, v,-e seek to explain God and His redemptive "work through Christ, but wo view man as something •in the making, not as a once innocent being now marred. Man is struggling not to rfegain a lost perfection, tat to realise a Divinely appointed end of the whole. terrestrial •process. We affirm that is still making man, still shaping man s consciousness, which some day will be in the image of God himself."—A and N.Z. Cable.
