MUST GO, SAY'S BISHOP LONDON, Nov. 22. “If religious dogmas are untrue, Jet them pass!” declared Dr. Barnes, Bishop of Birmingham, al the dinner of the Royal Society of Medicine, after observing that never since the Golden Age ol Greece had mental energy been more iertile. “Wlien one talks of the fulure, one thinks always of the immediate future,’ said Dr. Barnes, “hut we are allowed lo look forward at least 500,000.000 years, in which conditions limy allow humanity lo llourish on earth. Will our descendants he perfect in body, more powerful in brain, and create a Utopia, or will the age of mammals which has endured only some 60,000,C00 pass away '!
"If man vanishes from the globe, will some ueu form of life, higher in the evolutionary scale, recuuslr ict our achievements in its scluinls of antiquarian research ?”
