Evolution at the Bar
Excerpt from Evolution at the Bar
Our design, in writing these pages (originally pre pared for use in the compilation of a Bible Cyclopedia by the Bible Union of China) was to set forth the main features of the theory of Evolution in such a way as to make it easy to be understood by the unlearned. The exponents of science and philosophy usually adopt a style and vocabulary which effectually hide their meaning from the common people, and which are well calculated to produce the impression that the subjects they discuss are too mysterious and profound to be understood by any but the few who (like them selves) are gifted with intellects of a superior order, and possessed of knowledge unattainable by the ordi nary man.
