Men and Monkeys.

It is said that the French scientists, under the direction of the Paris Museum of Natural History, will attempt to evolute monkeys or apes into men. They will experiment for a number of years, using the same methods which they believe nature used in evolving man from the monkey. Prof. Joseph Le Conte, of the University of California, says in the Examiner that they may develop a higher ape, but not a man. And yet he believes that "men and monkeys came from the same stock," and "that life originated on the globe by the action of purely natural chemical and physical forces." It is much easier for some scientists to believe the most incredulous thing rather than admit the creative power of God. Nevertheless, monkeys will remain monkeys, and men physically will remain men or perverted men till the coming of Jesus Christ shall restore perfect physical manhood by his own creative power.
