To assert that Ged chose to alopt a regular and ‘ive law of develop ment as the method of creation could surely be pO more at variance with the Divioe attributes than a belief that he chose to createman at once by an arbitrary exercise of power The perfect consistency of the th: ory of evolution, with the methi ro grees in all departments of natare, and even of science and arts, was most clearly and fe littously shown and illustrated by the dis! guished naturalist. Nor does he consider this theory at all in conflict with the Scrip tral unts Of creation, properiy under stood. When we read that God created man ovt of the dust of earth, and breathed into bis nostrils the breath of life, we are not reading of the creation of the ‘animal man, but of the human soul; of th: en espeet ally characterizes man, distinguishing him from the rest of animated beings; and the Gust WAs no less dust (or matter) that it had been previously prepared for the reception of its immortal tevant by a long series of devel opments, from the lowest and simplest to the highest and most complex form ol orgauized existence.

The peighdors were slarmed, and a party began searching among the adjacent timber in the foot hills. In the evening the tracks of the little astray were discovered in the snow, leading into the mountains. This trail was followed two miles, when in the darkness all trace was lost, though every feot of ground was scpnned with the aid of lavteras. Tne night was very cold and about three inches of snow fell before morning. At daybreak the search was renewed, and was “4 up all day Monday, Monday night and Taes- day until 2 p. m., when Oscar Smith came upon fresh tracks in the snow.
