CREATION OF MAN.
[ PROCESS OF DIVINE DESIGN. : "A COUSIN TO THE APES." By Telegraph.—Press Assn.—Copyright. •> Received Oct. 24, 5.3 p.m. London, Oct. 23. Canon Barnes, in a paper read before the Church Cctygrcss at Southend, declared that systematic scientific observa. tion had practically proved that man was not created by God. "Man," says Canon Barnes, "is the end of a vast evolutionary process of IKvine design. Man is cousin to the apes, his ancestry going back through' the amphibians to fish. Such a discovery gives all our speculations a vastly different background to that of the theologians who elaborated the doctrine of the Trinity. Like them we seek to explain God and His redemptive work through Christ, but we view man as something in the making, not as a once innocent being now marred. Man is struggling not to regain a lost perfection, but to realise a divinely appointed end of the whole terrestrial process. We affirm tliat God is still making man, and still shaping man's consciousness, which some day will be the image of God himself."— Aus.-N.Z. Cable Assn.
