Evolution As It Relates To The Origin Of Man 
 
 Some fine day a million or two, or maybe three million years hence, this 
 little world is going to go “on the rocks” and be wrecked so completely there 
 won't be a thing left for later souvenir hunters. 
 
 This sentiment was expressed by Prof. J. Hadamard, French mathematician, 
 member of the French Academy and of the faculty of the College de France, in 
 Bloomington, Ind., before the Indiana section of the Mathematical Association 
 of America, meeting at Indiana University recently. 
 
 He drives out any and all fears, (lest some perchance might become “hys- 
 terical’’ over the immensity of such giving away of our solar system), with the 
 comforting thought: “this destruction will not occur in the immediate future, or 
 even in the distant future.” Let us rest then in sweet repose, as the only way 
 you and I or any of our descendants in ages and ages to come, as time ticks its 
 way on down the milestones of millions of years hence, can only be affected by 
 far off dreams,—and we can rest peacefully as we have the assurance that our 
 dreams “will ne’er come true.” Mr. Hadamard, who has studied this intricate 
 mathematical problem for years. announced himself in perfect accord with 
 Montaigne, the philosopher, who said: “It is too ambitious to say I don’t know 
 anything, for I am not even sure I know nothing.” (Feb. 1533 to Sept. 1592). 
 
 We are told as recently as in 1860 just sixty-five years ago, there was a de- 
 bate in the University of Oxford; the speakers were Bishop Wilberforce, of the 
 Church of England, and Professor Thomas H. Huxley, biologist; the subject 
 was Evolution. Darwinism was brand-new, and the idea that man sprang from 
 monkeys was about forever to be wiped off the face of the slate by the greatest 
 and most eloquent of all British theologians. 
 
 Although the Darwinian theory is that man and ape had a common ances- 
 tor, quite a strange coincidence that two unlike things should spring from the 
 same thing, especially man the handy work of God, the creature made after His 
 own image should come from that, that produced a monkey. According to my 
 way of thinking and my thoughts are based upon the word of “God Himself;”. 
 I do not believe it. To you that believe it (or think you believe it) you may 
 hurl your broadside after broadside into the ears of the man of straw which you 
 have set up. You may cry unto the winds of time to waft your message to the 
 distant shores of new worlds, you may speak in tongues of golden hue, and may 
 ring the bells on foreign shores with eloquence that would lull to sleep the mes- 
 sage of this mighty Man O’War, but like a mighty thunder in the clouds that are 
 hovering over us, the echo of this great British theologian brings back to us the 
 message, “that he still speaks and bids us to carry on the work and instead of 
 rising as did the biologist in the interest of Science, rise in the defense of the 
 Constitution of “God Almighty” and herald its message to the four corners of 
 the earth and let its flavor and sweetness perfume and soften the hearts of men 
 and bring them humbly at His feet, and there lay down their claim which they 
 have termed Evolution, as it relates to the origin of man, and give glory and 
 honor to our God in the creating of man in His own image. Then, and not un- 
 til then, you may, if you please, take up evolution and theorize upon it as much 
 as you wish. It has been a wonderful study and has accomplished marvelous 
 things in our generation and all due credit to the distinguished scientists who in 
 their wisdom have wrought many wonderful discoveries and have revealed 
 many new inventions; but ’tis through the power and knowledge given them by 
 
™ 
 
 the Great Creator, that they have been able to apply this knowledge and have 
 revealed these scientific truths to us in this day and time. Stand back, oh scien- 
 tist, and give heed to our God and acknowledge to Him the tribute of praise in 
 His masterpiece, in the creation of man after His own image. 
 
 There have been many eminent scientists who have been unable to accept 
 the Darwinian theory, the failure to discover the missing link has been the weak 
 point in the evolutionary hypothesis and until that’ discovery is made man will 
 be justified in his adherence to the Biblical idea of creation. 
 
 Prof. James Dwight Dana, the eminent American scientist says: “Man’s 
 origin has thus far no scientific explanation from science,” and I may say it 
 needs no scientific explanation as we have the supreme authority of Almighty 
 God that He created man in His own image. 
 
 It is reported that the eminent Dr. Adolph Schultz, Associate Professor of 
 Psychical Anthropology, following a conference in Baltimore recently, of de- 
 fense counsel and distinguished scientists of Johns Hopkins University, in the 
 coming trial of Prof. John T. Scopes in Tennessee for teaching evolution in a 
 public high school, in violation of the law, Dr. Schultz said: “Man and the apes 
 are related. They are first cousins. Man and the apes came from the same an- 
 cestors, only man went one way and the apes another. With the development of 
 man’s brain came the shortening of his tail which disappeared entirely as evolu- 
 tion progressed.” 
 
 Immediately after arriving at the conference in Baltimore, J. W. Gaines, 
 one of the galaxy of legal lights who will defend Scopes announced their case 
 would largely center about the “dangerous” effect the anti-evolution law would 
 have on the teaching of medicine, and securing all of the latest available data 
 from headquarters,” on the evolution theory in an effort to round out what is 
 claimed to be “iron-clad” proof that man and monkeys are first cousins—All of 
 this must be so as this statement comes from a distinguished gentleman of cul- 
 ture, versed in the rudiments of psychical anthropology, and is sanctioned by the 
 golden hue orator who is one of the leading lights and defenders of the cause. 
 You cannot prove your statement for it is not in accord with the teachings of 
 God. . What has medicine to do in this case? Do not muddy the waters with this 
 substance as it would taint your vision and dull your sensibilities and possibly 
 disqualify you to represent your client to his best interest, as you will need all 
 of the best qualities you may command with promptings from your colleagues, 
 to meet the onslaught of the modern Joshua of our day and time, and the de- 
 fender of the Constitution of our God, the Hon. William Jennings Bryan. 
 
 We are told that a criminal lawyer from Chicago by the name of Clarence 
 Darrow will also represent the defense in the coming trial in Dayton, Tenn., 
 July, 10, 1925. From reports circulated, this distinguished legal light has 
 made quite a reputation in defending criminals in one part of the country and 
 another, the last of which that has come up before us in a forcible way was in 
 his home town in Chicago in defense of the noted case, ““Leopold-Loeb.” It is 
 rather strange that this criminal attorney should represent a professor for 
 teaching evolution in violation of the law of Tennessee. This is not a capital 
 offense, punishable by death if found guilty, but it is a very serious offense and 
 and one that needs to be looked into. It is an acknowledged truth that Mr. Dar- 
 row is an agnostic. An agnostic is one who denies that man possesses any 
 knowledge of the ultimate nature of things; one who neither affirms nor denies 
 the existence of a personal Deity, and this is the attorney that was chosen to rep- 
 resent a cause that scientists hold so dear and so sacred in the education of this 
 
 4 
 
present generation, and the generations that are to follow. He cannot look you 
 in the face with faith and potency in his expression with the assurance and 
 knowledge that he has the moral support of a “Higher” power to give him cour- 
 age in fostering the cause he is trying to represent. He cannot lean upon faith 
 in guiding him in the presentation of truth that he is trying to bring home in the 
 defense of science, because he neither affirms nor denies the existence of a per- 
 sonal Deity. 
 
 Mr. Darrow made a speech a few nights ago to an audience of about 75 of 
 Dayton, Tenn., town’s business men and made the statement, “that he was still 
 seeking with an open mind and expressed the hope that he may still find the 
 answer.” If he lives the life of an average man he admits that he hasn’t much 
 longer to live, and believes nothing exists without cause and further states he 
 believes the cure of the world is not in hatred but in love and understanding. 
 Mr, Darrow, permit me to say to you that your message has appealed to me so 
 forcefully as I have read it with the interpretation of your earnest desire to find 
 “the answer” and if I, an humble servant and layman of the God who gives us 
 our daily blessings, and gives you and me the very air that we breathe and in 
 Him we move and have our being, can help you find the answer I shall be 
 more than happy. A confident and abiding faith in this loving God will lead 
 you and will lead me and will lead all men upon the face of this earth to a 
 higher and better love one for another, will drive out all hatred, and then you 
 and I and all that love and fear God will have found the cure of the world and 
 will better understand. 
 
 I want to say to you humbly, that I or no other man has the key to all, hu- 
 man knowledge, or that my judgment is infallible. My judgment is too frail to 
 offer as a support that can be relied upon authoritatively as to whether evolu- 
 tion is or is not contrary to the teachings of the Bible, as to the origin of man. 
 I can only point you to the cause of giving the weight of any influence I may 
 have to the support of the Biblical teachings as to the origin of man. We have 
 no constituted authority that I or any other man have even been able to find 
 or that Science in all of its research has ever been able to alter the unimpeach- 
 able declaration and constitutional authority as laid down by “God Almighty,” 
 when He said: “He created man in his own image, in the image of God created 
 he him.” And God said, let the earth bring forth living creatures after ‘their 
 kind, cattle, and creeping things, and beasts of the earth after their kind; and it 
 was so. And God made the beast of the earth after their kind; and the cattle 
 after their kind, and. everything that creepeth upon the ground after its kind; 
 and God saw that it was good. 
 
 And God said, let us make man in our own image, after our likeness. And 
 God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him. Mr. 
 Darrow read the paragraph again just preceding this one, and you will better 
 understand | believe the declaration of God in handing down to you and to me 
 and all men everywhere that he in his wisdom of creation used the simple 
 method of conveying to us the unimpeachable truth that in the creation of less 
 animal life such as cattle, beast, birds, fish and creeping things on the earth 
 that they were all made after its kind—and God saw that it was good. And then 
 read again, if you please, this paragraph and you will better understand, I be- 
 lieve, the declaration of God in handing down to you and to me and all men 
 everywhere that he in his wisdom of creation used the simple method of con- 
 véying to us the unimpeachable truth that in the creation of man God made him 
 in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created 
 
 he them; and God blessed them. 
 5 
 
The message from Jehovah that has been counded from the beginning 
 of time on down the ages to this good day, is that his handy work in the crea- 
 tion of all lesser animal life were all made after its kind and God saw that it 
 was good, and on the wings of time from the beginning of creation of man 
 comes the message from our God to you and to me and to all men everywhere 
 that in the creation of the Keystone of his handiwork, man, God created him in 
 his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and famile created he 
 
 them; and God blessed them. 
 
 In the creation of less animal life, all made after its kind, it pleased God 
 and he saw it was good. In the creation of man, the higher animal life, God 
 made him in his own image, in the image of God created he him and it pleased 
 God and He pronounced his blessing upon him. He gave man dominion over 
 the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing 
 that moveth upon the earth. A Superior Intelligence has guided the develop- 
 ment of man in a definite direction and for a definite purpose. In the making of 
 one, God saw it was good. In the making of the other it pleased God and He 
 blessed him. In one it was good, in the other a blessing. 
 
 Stand back, ye scientists of this world, and all that are defending the cause 
 of science, in so far as it relates to the origin of man, and hail the “King of 
 Kings” and bring in your theory and humbly laying it down at his feet and as- 
 cribe unto Him the honor and glory in His, creation of man. With this ac- 
 knowledgment and the surrender of your scientific theories relating to the 
 origin of man our God will bless you and will reveal unto you more wonder- 
 ful scientific truths than you have ever dreamed. 
 
 I have heard it argued that if evolution is contrary to the teachings of the 
 Bible, as to the origin of man, then astronomy and geology are likewise in con- 
 flict and these should also be barred from public schools. In the discussion of 
 evolution the evolutionist will invariably refer to the teachings of astronomy, 
 geology, and to the spherical shape of the earth, indictment of Galileo in 1663 
 for teaching that the earth revolves on its axis and moves around the sun, and 
 the Tennessee affair is an outbreak of ignorance in opposition to knowledge. 
 
 i should like to ask you, Mr. Well-Informed Evolutionist and Scientist, 
 where you get your knowledge from? Who told you about astronomy, geology, 
 the earth being flat and proved to be round and the teachings that the earth re- 
 volves on its axis and moves around the sun? Who told you these things? Did 
 you or do you, believe them to be true? You say you have studied these things 
 and found them out in your research for scientific truths, and that you have 
 proven them to be scientific and they are now captioned as Science. Then you 
 have acknowledged the true declaration “that a Superior Intelligence has guided 
 the development of man in a definite direction and for a definite purpose,” and 
 that God has revealed these things unto you, beginning at the creation of man 
 and a gradual development guided by a Superior Intelligence that has unfolded 
 to you a better understanding as to the accomplishment of your great scientific 
 truths. 
 
 Man, the handiwork of God as described in Creation is crowned as the sole 
 title to the position at the head of the Kingdom of Life. Then reconcile the 
 statement if you please, that the “Tennessee affair is an outbreak of ignorance 
 in opposition to knowledge.” Read again the declaration just quoted and it 
 will lead you to understand that the hand of God has guided the development of 
 man and has revealed unto him the knowledge of ways to a better understand- 
 ing, and you may judge for yourself on which side is ignorance displayed.

God has never said, anywhere in the “Holy Bible” that the earth was round 
 or flat, He has never said the earth turned on its axis, and revolves around the 
 sun, He has never said or told any one the distance from the earth to its farthest 
 off-clouds of the distant stars, or the distance from this earth to Jupiter, or when 
 the sun or moon would be in eclipse, and what part of the earth would be af- 
 fected and how much and how long! No, these things have not been directly re- 
 vealed to us by God, but He has guided the development of man and has re- 
 vealed unto him the knowledge of measuring the distances of far away King- 
 doms and to tell us the time of the eclipse of the sun. A gradual development 
 by a Supreme Intelligence of our understanding, by our loving God, has shown 
 us the way of understanding these great scientific truths. But God did say in the 
 “Holy Bible” that He created man in His own image, in the image of God creat- 
 ed he him; male and female created He them; and God blessed them. 
 
 In our morning paper of June 26, 1925, prominently displayed on its first 
 page is the announcement that Dr. H. F. Osborne, heads list of scientists to go 
 to aid of evolution law violator, and this research professor of Zoology, Colum- 
 bia University, author of “Evolution and Religion” and “The Earth Speaks to 
 Bryan,” the most active opponent of Mr. Bryan in the present discussion and 
 goes on giving list of names that are to come and help him in meeting the wit and 
 wisdom of this modern Josiah in the defense of education and the Constitution of 
 our God. He will need all the promptings and support of his colleagues, as well 
 as to draw upon all of his resources and his best qualities in the presentation of 
 the support he has to offer in the defense of evolution. Why is it these little fel- 
 lows are so afraid of Mr. Bryan? I have seen him three or four times in my 
 life, and have heard him speak as many times. I have never seen anything about 
 him that appears to be frightful. He looks to be normal, his manner of speech 
 is pleasing and full of wisdom and drives home the truths he is presenting, and 
 yet “Mr. Osborne” the author of “The Earth Speaks to Bryan,” is afraid of this 
 kind-hearted gentleman, as he clucks for his brood, and they come pattering 
 at his command and say here am I, “speak,” and we will defend you from get- 
 ting hurt at the hands of this nobleman. II] tell you why they are afraid of this 
 noble man of God, it is because his abiding faith rests with the “Eternal God” 
 and he has the moral courage to meet the sneers and rebuffs of his opponeats 
 and stands out today as one of the very greatest of all living exponents of the 
 true Christian religion of our Christ. 
 
 This eminent doctor of “Zoology” has the temerity to come out in the same 
 paper and in the same piece of the 26th of June and say: “Bryan is defendant in 
 Evolution case.” And the real question is “Did God use evolution as His plan.” 
 Go and read the creation of the world as laid down by Almighty God, and 
 learn from the Great teacher the truths of creation and come unto Him and lay 
 down your theory as it is not a science and thanks be unto God it will never be, 
 for it is contrary to the teachings of Almighty God as it relates to the origin of 
 man. This Doctor is not yet satisfied, he states: “The earth speaks, clearly, dis- 
 tinetly, and, in many realms of nature, loudly, to William Jennings Bryan,” 
 but he fails to hear a single sound.” Keep your ears close to the ground and 
 think not it out of order to “tap in” on the 10th of July, A. D., 1925 and catch 
 the whisperings as they come trickling through the breezes bringing to you and 
 to me the message he speaks yonder in Dayton, Tenn., in the defense of educa- 
 tion and the Constitution of our God. If Mr. Osborne is anywhere about, if 
 he has not already been scared off the roost, then he had better hold on tight, 
 as I am afraid he might fall and lose some of his thunder; but if he is fortun- 
 ate enough to stand the message which I am sure he wll say, “sounded loud 
 
 7 
 
enough for him to hear” and for all of his supporters gathered around the table 
 to lament the cause they hold so dear. 
 
 I have voted three times in the last three city elections in Jefferson County 
 in the State of Alabama, for the support of the Public Schools and have paid my 
 share of increased taxes as many times in each year, and I| count it as worthy 
 for a righteous cause and will vote for such a measure again as many times as 
 it may be necessary. I believe our Public School is one of the best institutions 
 for the development of our children as can be found on the face of the earth. 
 They should have the moral as well as our financial support and should be dear 
 to the hearts of all right-thinking people. Especially do I speak of our schools 
 in Jefferson County and the City of Birmingham which cannot be surpassed 
 anywhere. 
 
 This subject is so far reaching and so sacred I cannot in the least give it 
 justice, but it is one dear to my heart. In the training of our children we want 
 them to have the best opportunities in the development of their Christian charac- 
 ter. We want them taught the truth, and no scientific theory as it relates to the 
 origin of man, should be tolerated as it poisons their young minds and leads 
 them to believe in a false doctrine. We want them brought up to believe in a 
 true doctrine as it is taught by the Great Teacher when he said: Man is made after 
 His own image, not after the false doctrine that scientists are trying to put off in 
 every public school in our land. Science has been, and is a wonderful study. 
 It has accomplished many marvelous things and has revealed many new discoy- 
 eries and inventions and should be supported by all men everywhere, for it has 
 brought to light these things that have been hidden in darkness, but ’tis through 
 the gradual development of man that God created after his own image and guid- 
 ed by a Supreme Intelligence that he has been able to show these things unto us, 
 and any other doctrine preached by scientist or any other man or set of men, 
 should not have the support of any man. You cannot prove your theory, for it 
 is not in accord with the word of God. 
 
 In one of our daily papers of the 27th of June, a display across its front 
 page says: “Malone Flays Bryan in Speech.” Some of you may not know 
 who “Malone” is, and that you may know and better understand who is flaying 
 Mr. Bryan, I want to acquaint you with this distinguished, brilliant attorney 
 from New York City. At a recent meeting of defense attorneys to prepare a 
 list of scientific witnesses in the coming “Scopes” trial in Dayton, Tenn., this 
 distinguished legal light was chosen as the one to prepare this list. Dr. H. F. 
 Osborne, research-professor of Zoology, Columbia University, and author of 
 “The Earth Speaks to Bryan” was chosen by Mr. Malone as the head of the list 
 of scientific experts. You will observe that I have just paid my respects to this 
 distinguished professor of “Zoology” and the calling together of his supports in 
 the defense of a “theory.” And now this brilliant lawyer from New York, goes 
 down to Knoxville, Tenn., and makes an address to the mothers of children in 
 a state that has taken a great forward position which deserves and which will 
 certainly receive the admiration and appreciation of the Christian world, and he 
 said: “The Women of America can take care of the morals of their children 
 without the help of Mr. Bryan or state legislatures,” and I want to say to this 
 distinguished New York attorney, God Almighty has spoken in unmistakable 
 terms to the women of America, and to the world: “She is the golden gem of all 
 creation, and to her, her child is the Jewel of Life. Yes she will take care of the 
 morals of her children and any good loving mother will cherish with fondest 
 hope that her child’s best interest is dear to the heart of a Christian leader. And 
 then if Mr. Malone is not satisfied, let us exercise our right to say through our 
 
 8 
 
law-making body that the faith and religion of our children shall not be de- 
 stroyed by teachers who poison their minds with “bunk” that no science has ever 
 
 established. 
 
 The trouble with Mr. Malone is, “he is jealous of Mr. Bryan,” as he states 
 “Mr. Bryan seeks to capitalize his views on Christianity for the sake of his own 
 popularity.” I am just as good as Mr. Bryan, I believe in Christianity, the 
 Virgin Birth, the holy Trinity and the resurrection, and I am going down to 
 Tennessee to do what I can in the defense of Prof. Scopes who has taught the 
 children down there stuff that we have tried to put off on all public schools, and 
 it has gotten our Professor into trouble, as the State of Tennessee is wise to our 
 movements, as the lawmakers down there said our Professor could not teach the 
 theory we hold so dear,” but I will tell you what I am going to do: “I am going 
 to call Dr. Osborne and his associates to prove that our theory of evolution 
 should be taught, and then if Tennessee “bucks” we will declare that the Ten- 
 nessee affair is an outbreak of ignorance in opposition to knowledge. But we 
 are going “four square” up against this “Nobleman” who stands so strongly and 
 so forcefully to fight our theory that he knows is not a science. 
 
 It is no fault of Mr. Bryan that you or any of your adherents are not as 
 great as he. You are privileged to read and study your “Bible” the same as Mr. 
 Bryan, and if you interpret it differently and do not rise as high, be not angry, 
 and do not expect to be as popular in the Christian world. It will not do for us 
 to fall out with each other on account of our views, but I just want to say: 
 “Possibly” if you will come and see the light as it casts its rays from yonder 
 heavens down upon the pages of the “Holy Bible” and read and understand 
 Creation, you may after a time be just as popular. Place this “Holy” word 
 among your volumes of law, as upon it your library is founded, and from it 
 you go in and out and have your being and make your daily bread. It will set 
 a good example to your colleagues in the profession of law and your distin- 
 guished scientists all over this world. It will unfold unto them a better under- 
 standing of the teachings of God in the creation of man. 
 
 Hope and trust in God as to the creation of man as recorded in the “Bible,” 
 will not interfere with any one’s religion or faith in Him. It denies no one of 
 their personal liberty, you can serve and worship God according to the dictates 
 of your own conscience. It acknowledges to the “Great” teacher and the “Giver” 
 of life the honor this world is due to Him. It is the only written record under 
 heaven that reveals unto all men everywhere the creation of man and by the au- 
 thority of “Almighty God” when He said: “Let us make man in our own image 
 and in the image of God, created he him; male and female created he them; 
 and God blessed them. Every lover of God on the face of this earth cannot but 
 love and respect him more for such honor and glory, as to make man after His 
 own image and in so doing God has crowned man with the sole title to the posi- 
 tion at the head of the “Kingdom of Life.” I say any attempt by man 
 that God has made, to change or alter this declaration and Constitution 
 of Almighty God, is on dangerous ground. Men of this world due 
 him homage, respect his authority, and strike from your records your 
 attempted teachings which are contrary to the teachings of our loving God. 
 This thing has been brought upon us by scientists in their research to prove that 
 the teachings of God are untrue, as it relates to the origin of man, then let us 
 settle now and once for all time, settle the false doctrine they are trying to set 
 up against the Holy Word of God, and show to the world that we believe in and 
 will support with all our souls, minds and bodies, the teachings of our “Great” 
 
 9 
 
teacher and the acceptance of his “Holy Word” and that we will defend it from 
 all attacks from whatsoever source. 
 
 Then—let us all be more concerned as to whither we goeth, than from 
 whence we cometh—always looking forward and not backward. 
 
 God moves in a mysterious way, 
 His wonders to perform; 
 
 He plants his foot-steps on the sea 
 And rides upon the storm. 
 
 Just as I was ready to go to press, I received a message from an expert on 
 international affairs and one who enjoys a reputation as a student of science 
 and religious history, and an evolutonist and therefore strongly defends the 
 hypothesis, explaining the evolutionary theory. He states that Prof. Scopes has 
 been summoned before the bar of Tennessee for teaching that life has self-de- 
 veloped from low beginnings to high levels of versatility and progress by means 
 of evolution. I believe it fair in the discussion of the subject of evolution 
 which seems to be very prominent at this time in the minds and thoughts of 
 men. The experts in their writings on this subject should speak in terms of 
 short words that the uneducated who have not been so fortunate as to have been 
 able to understand many of the phrases used in the discussion. Of course the 
 scientists and the educated can readily understand, but let us speak in a human- 
 ized way and convey our thoughts and knowledge of the subject in such form 
 and fashion that all may understand. The scientist and the high-ups in their. 
 vocabulary of expostulation can speak in terms of congruity as to expostulate 
 and articulate in such a way that the versatility may not be understood by all. 
 I believe in fair play and let us meet it on common ground. The Tennessee sit- 
 uation would never have reached its present crisis if the scientists had not ex- 
 postulated the versatility in their attempted dumping of this stuff on the intel- 
 ligence of the people of Tennessee as to the origin of man. They had a right to 
 resent this imposition by these scientists who are trying to dump this stuff of 
 turning readily from one thing to another in all of our public schools all over 
 our land. It is a false doctrine and one they cannot prove, as it is not in accord 
 with the word of God. God don’t do business that way. He is not a trick hand 
 worker. When he made man it was not necessary for him to turn him from one 
 thing to another, first a monkey and then a man. He made him at the begin- 
 ning in hs own likeness for we have his written word for proof recorded in the 
 “Holy Bible”, and it is the only written word under the stars of his creation of 
 man. Accept this message, thou student of science and religious history and let 
 your light shine in the realms of your international affairs as it will burn with 
 brightness and glow with beauty if you honor God by accepting his word, 
 rather than the theory of man. 
 
 Permit me to say to you in all frankness and in love for all men, that any 
 attempt to infringe upon the “Constitutional” authority of our loving God in 
 placing the teachings of other doctrine than that laid down by God himself as 
 it relates to the origin of man, in our public or private schools, colleges, uni- 
 versities and all seats of learning, should be restrained by an enactment of our 
 law-making body, and incorporated into the “Constitution” of every state in the 
 Union and forbid this false doctrine of Evolution being taught to the precious 
 “Jewels” of our land. And in addition to this, carry this message yonder to the 
 capital of this Union and present it to the House of Congress and to the Senate 
 of these United States and say: “Write this message in your Federal Constitu- 
 tion, restraining all persons in these United States of America or from any 
 parts of this world in the teaching of other doctrines than that, that is laid down

by our Great teacher with his “Constitutional Authority” as it is the only writ- 
 ten record in the pages of history under heaven when he said: “Let us make man 
 in our own image, after our likeness. And God created man in his own image, 
 in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them,” and 
 God blessed them. Pay due homage to “Jehovah” and acknowledge His Author- 
 ity and he will more wonderfully enrich our land, and pronounce a greater 
 blessing upon the Golden Gems of all Creation, and he will lead our precious 
 “Jewels” by the still waters and place a larger Crown and Title upon the head 
 of the “Kingdom of Life.” 
 
 Oho, ye ministers of the gospel, ye liberal interpretors of the scriptures, 
 teachers of our children in all schools, colleges, universities and all seats of 
 learning everywhere,—Columbia University, Princeton, Yale, Brown and Syra- 
 cuse, and all others. All scientists and all people everywhere who support the 
 false doctrine in oppositon to the word of God! Let me call upon you in His 
 name to give the weight of your influence and knowledge that our Great Teacher 
 has revealed unto you, to the word of God as to the origin of man, for he so 
 loved you and pronounced his blessing upon you way back in the beginning of 
 time and has made you ruler over all things that move upon the face of this 
 earth. 
 
 Take heed, Oho, men, and remember “THE LEADERS DO CAUSE THE 
 PEOPLE TO ERR”! 
 
 Great Britain, France, Germany, Austria Italy, and all Europe, Asia, Africa, 
 Canada, Central and South America, and to all the far off isles of the seas, to 
 men everywhere and to the four corners of this earth; we send greetings, and bid 
 you to accept the “Holy Word” of our God when he said: Let us make man in 
 our own image. And God made him in his own image, in the image of God created 
 he him; male and female created he them; and God blessed them. This is the 
 only written record under heaven of the creation of man and it is by the Power 
 and Authority of Almighty God. 
 
 Let me call upon you that live across the seas and on distant shores to pay 
 homage to this Great Teacher, respect his authority, and accept no other doc- 
 trines of men that are trying to prove that His message is untrue as to the origin 
 of man, for this they cannot do, as it is not in accord with the holy word of 
 God. He so loved you and loved us that he gave us dominion over all things 
 upon the face of this earth, and he has honored you and he has honored us by 
 creating us after his own image, and we should love and respect him more for 
 bestowing this honor upon us. Settle this for all time in accepting the word of 
 God rather than the theory of man, and then concern yourself more as to whither 
 we goeth, than from whence we cometh—Always looking forward and not back- 
 ward, 
 
 God will more wonderfully enrich your land and will bestow a greater 
 blessing upon the Golden Gems of all Creation, and will lead your precious 
 “Jewels” by the still waters and will place a larger Crown and Title upon the 
 head of the “Kingdom of Life.”
