I have had a letter by me for some little time from a dear friend, and I feel the time has now come for me to print it. It deals with a most important subject.
The Letter
Dear Doctor Wreford,
Your remarks on Evolution in the September “Message” are very “apropos” just now.
During my recent visit to the North a lady who sat at-my table in the Hotel where I stayed told me that her husband, a Doctor of Science, was a very clever man; that he was an expert, and that men came from all parts of the world to learn from him. She said too that they had a wonderful Library in the town where she resided, for which he was responsible and that he was “benefiting posterity” by his researches.
I expressed a hope that he gave due prominence to “The Book,” and that she and her husband obeyed Joshua 1:8: “This book of the law shall not depart out of thy mouth: but thou shalt meditate therein day and night, that thou mayest observe to do according to all that is written therein: for then thou shalt make thy way prosperous, and then thou shalt have good success.”
She replied that they did not read the Word of God daily, and so I was not surprised to hear that she and her husband believed in the doctrine of Evolution, which I told her was dishonoring to our blessed Lord and Saviour.
“Benefiting posterity by his researches!” How many souls have been brought to the Cross of Christ by the followers of Darwin? And “What shall it profit a man if he shall gain the whole World and lose his own Soul?”
Sincerely yours, R. J. MORGAN.
