A New Guess.

By Editor

Now we are told that man did not originate with the ape, or monkey, that the old theory is incorrect. Professor Klaatsch, of Berlin, declares that both man and ape sprang from the same prehistoric stock, but the ape is the degenerate man; that the progenitor of man was more like the man of to-day, but the ape, the gorilla, the chimpanzee, the baboon, etc., are all degenerates. This is a better guess than the Darwinian theory, and makes one look upon that branch of science with almost a shadow of hope. Sometime they may come to that place where they are willing to believe the Scriptures.
