It depends, ofceuriKS as duep, heAivir,
nvery nther theory el erii;iuil hlu, as a'eiI,
upon the Inet of mankind haviui;.ioiume 1
origin. This fuet the Hible indeed both
cxpie-Hiy declares, when it makes Adam the
progenitor et the whole rauu of man, and
uniformly imphcH, uvorywheru taking fur

strenuously denied in eiuparatively 10
cent times by many prMiiueut HcicutiBth,
iiH by the hitu Agastir., who was regarded
as a champion of Clnistianity by many.
IIe alllrmcd that thore inns', liave been

this with Scripture sorely piu.led tht-o-legiatis

As bofeio said, the doctrine of hum m
sinfulness dopeudsdirootly upon it. Fer
the Bible ovcrywhero makes it appear net
only tu.it our uaiii.il nature is sinful, but
that it is tmeh in cnuscquoue') of thu sin
el our 11 1 tit parents. Hut if the uogre had
a difleieut eiigtn from us, and the Indian
btill 11 dilleieut oue, ami be etiry race is
Hpruug trem a diffoient Hteck, tlieu whit
makes them sinful '.' The llrst parents of
each of theni must have Koparately fallen
Hut the Scriptures tells us nothing about
anything like this ; while they imply the
opposite, eveu declaring explicitly that
' through ene man sin entered into th 1
world."
Hie OMKlii of Hlu.
Ab te hew it did this uivolitieu and
evolution coincide remaikably. The
former, if we intcipret its picnici-que
language of oriental poetiy in tlie simplest
way, tellH us that whuii the llrnt " man
becatue a living heuI," :i self determining
peisen, it was revealMl te him that oue
eourse of notion was in accordance with
Ged's will, and another was net. Then he
deliberately chose that which was nut ; he
disobeyod Ged's clearly undorsteixl c m m
maudineut. And by this he becatne
morally guilty, Binful ; ami knew
it. Hy thai act he formed for him
self 11 sinful character ; whereas before
his nature had been innocent and sinless.
This nin, therefore, consisted in his ceu
soieusly aud voluntarily violating divine
law. Fer, as bt. Jehn Bays : " bin m the
transgression of the law," that in, the
voluntary, conscious transgression. Had
Adam net known that Ged did net wish
him te eat of that paitloulartree, he would
net have sinned in eating ; for ai St. Paul
declare, " where no law is, there is no
transgression." Thl, then, is the scrip
tural iicoeunt of the origin of slu. New
mark what ovelutiuu tells us.
Accerillni; te I'.vulutlun.
According te it, as we said in our last
discourses, tliore was a tlme when man had
uet yet ceme into posseBsiou of the higher
powers, called soul, was uet conscious of
himHell as a morally loipensibio porseu.
IIe was simply an animal, ijiu was there thero thore
fore, impossible for him then. Hut in his
upward dovelopmont he atleugtU arrived
nt a statu in which he boeamo conscious
of a Hunsome Helug. and of hlmself as 10
lated te this Heing. At thu same time he
recegnised certalu m drs of aotlen ns
being according te the will of the Supreme
Heing, and ethers as opposed te it ; he
becatue conscious of right and wrong,
geed aud evil, and of the obligation te de
tlie oue and avoid tlie otner. 1110 moiueiit
tluir point In what .Mr. Bpencur calls
" that graud progress whieh is bearing
humanity onwards te a hlgher intelligence
and nobler character," was reached, man
becatne n moral ageut. 1 he nun was no
longer a mera animal, but " a llvlug'seul,"
according te Hilten's denorlptlen, than nil
ether croaturei 1
" Of tar nobler slia.le, nrect ami tali,

This stage in his evolution corresponds
with the moment when, nrcerdlug te
(lenesls, Ged revealed te Adam, at hit)
divine law, from what treec in Kdcn hn
might rat, and from which he mlht net.
When new mm dollber.itoly disubiiyiid
this law, oheRo what he knew te be wrong
in preference te the right, he fell fiem Ins
potential state of pet feet rightoeu-mcM ;
slu enteied Inte the world.
As In the noeounts of the origin of man,
he horn again we nce that thore is no real
opposition botweou the. scriptural acceuut
of the origin of nin and that te he inferred
from the theory of evolution. The laltcr
morely explains the former. The cbm-ii.

than te rob aud kill thorn. Soeioty oame
into beiug with ever moie and mero com
plex rolatieus; his selfish appetites
aud passions for the geed of the
community, bcoause thus his own
greatest geed would be served. Thus
did Ged patiently prepare Ins uat-
uie, curbing nud puttiug down 1110
atiimal part, aud leading up his mind till
it was ready and strong enough for the
manifestation or a new power, the moral
faculty. With this he recognized that it
was net euly expedient and prolltable for
him te restrain ills cuvy, uaireu ami re
vonge, refrain from robbing his neighber,
and te de geed te his fellows, but that it
was a law of the Supreme Heing, and en
that account only was prolltable ; that

ultimate und highest waiiant bimply tlu

"the oxperioncus of utility organized and

Hut evon after we have oime into pos

his moral law, we yet, as St. l'aul sayB,

And similarly In every Individual de we

All such feelings, emotions and sont' sent'
