The process is a divine design. Man is a cousin to the apes. His ancestry goes back through the amphibians to the fish. Sucli a discovery gives all our speculations a vastly different background to that of the theologians, wlio have elaborated the doctrine of the Trinity of God. Like the theologians, we seek to explain God ahd his redemptive work through Christ. ‘But Ve.view man as something still in ‘tlie making ,and not as a once inn 61 cent being who is now married. Man is ' struggling, not to regain *a lost perfection, but to 1 realize a divinely ap- ' pointed end ,the end of the whole ter- ■ restial process. We affirm that God is still making man, and still shaping man's consciousness, which some day will ho in the image of God himself.
