spondence commences with the Creator, and descends. It is like the inner vesture of the Lord, "woven from the top through." Each method is like its theory, the one deriving creation from a natural force working upward, while the other offers a solution from a supernatural force working downward. Yet as the descending supernatural force returns in ascending creation. Evolution may be regarded as a substantially correct presentation of how the supernatural force appears while operative in nature; or in other words, Evolution is the apparent truth, as is the statement that a stick is bent upon immersion in water, or that the sun rises and sets. It is the apparent truth that has given Evolution its present credence.

Since the science of to-day is forced to the conclusion that it can not discover or explain any interior or supernatural cause, we are next led to consider revelation, the origin of all knowledge of interior causes and of genuine philosophy.
