Evolution: An Address Delivered May 7th, 1884, Before the Alumni Association of the Columbia Theological Seminary
Excerpt from Evolution: An Address Delivered May 7th, 1884, Before the Alumni Association of the Columbia Theological Seminary
At the same time that you honored me with an invitation to deliver an address before you on this occasion, the Board of Di rectors of the Theological Seminary, in view of the fact that Scepticism in the world is using alleged discoveries in science to impugn the word of God, requested me to give fully my views, as taught in this institution, upon Evolution, as it respects the world, the lower animals, and man. Inasmuch as several members of the Board are also members of this Association, and both Board and Association feel the some interest in the Semi nary, I have supposed that I could not select a subject more likely to meet with your approval than the one suggested to me by the Directors.
I am all the more inclined to make this choice, as it will afford me the opportunity of showing you that additional study has, in some respects, to a certain extent modified my views since I ex pressed them to many of you in the class-room.
