WHENCE CAME MAN I Editor Slnndard-Examlner: Whence came man is a question as old as the human race and remains unto this dny unanswered and untold. Xo one can toil of his own Hdvertl into being still he remembers re-members nothing of the event, and what he knows Is but hearsuy and clrcumstnn ti ll evidence. The real proof is himself: It must hove happened sometime and somewhere, hut how and when, he as an individual cannot approve or disprove. He must accept what la told him. bo It true or false, and what Is true of the Individual Indi-vidual Is true of the race In Luke 12:2 we find that "there Is nothing covered that shall not be revealed, neither hid that shall not be known ' So it is reasonably rea-sonably certain, especially lo liible he-I he-I levers that the origin ol the human race w ill be made known. The disclosure may not come according' to orthodox or through the channels of creeds, which sometimes do not keep up with tho progress prog-ress and procession of moving events and actuality In real life. Creeds seldom or ever change. Life Is everlastingly changing; chang-ing; It Is its chief characteristic, its vital trait. Stagnant water breathes death-running death-running water quickens, gives life, vital Ity and power.
