Wise Men Disagree.

Hugo de Vries, the great Dutch botanist, in the University of Amsterdam, is said, from his study of plants, to take direct issue with Darwin on the origin of species. A daily paper remarks: “Thus we have two great minds in the same line of investigation arriving at diametrically opposite results. So it runs in speculative thought. The fact of yesterday is the absurdity of to-day. The only thing we are certain of in speculative philosophy is that we are certain of nothing.” A few more now will doubt Mr. Darwin’s conclusions. It has been nothing to them that the Holy Scripture has set them down as erroneous all along.
