A Good One.

BISHOP WILLIAMS, in an article in the Churchman, speaking of Haeckel's "History of Creation," uses the following language :—

"What are the proofs of man's descent from the ape? The facts of ontogenesis and phylogenesis and their correspondence. Where are these facts enunciated? In the chapter as before mentioned. What is the authority for those facts? Chiefly that they are necessitated by the exigencies of the theory. Is there any evidence, that is, any direct an demonstrable evidence, that creatures representing those twenty-two stages ever existed? Not absolutely so; but they 'must have existed,' otherwise the theory would be imperfect."
