The Evolution of Man Scientifically Disproved in 50 Arguments
Williams, William A. (William Asbury)
Evolution
Chundra Lela, the daughter of a Brahman priest, spent a fortune and
lived a life of self inflicted torture, seeking salvation at all the
great shrines of India, but found none, until she heard the simple
story of Jesus from the lips of a missionary. That matchless name gave
her victory over sin, and transformed her into a saint and soul-winner
for Christ. Maurice Ruben, a successful Jewish merchant of Pittsburgh,
rejected Christianity and the Jewish religion as well. He was
converted, ostracised, persecuted, thrust into an insane asylum
unjustly, and told he must give up Christ or his wife and child. He
chose Christ. His family soon became Christians and joined him in the
great Jewish mission in Pittsburgh.
In a single night, the mountain floods in India caused the death of the
six children of Rev. D.H. Lee,—only one living a short time to tell the
story. They were all musicians. Out of the awful silence of that home,
Mrs. Lee sent to American papers, a triumphant pean of praise to God.
She was sustained by the power of God, so that she could kiss, in
loving devotion, the hand that smote her. The Lee Memorial Orphanage,
of Calcutta, stands as their monument.
Holy Ann, of Canada, was so profane and such a terror, that this name
was given her in derision. Touched by Christ, she became so sweet a
saint, that all regarded her as holy indeed.
Geo. Long, a denizen of the underworld, a victim of strong drink,
cocaine, opium and morphine, ruined in body and soul, was redeemed and
freed from these desperate vices, and made a successful soul-winner for
Christ.
These are a few of that “multitude that no man can number” who have
been delivered from the power of sin, and have overcome by faith in
Jesus.
If evolution be true it should be no hindrance but a great help. How
many drunkards have been saved by a belief in evolution, and how many
have been greater soul winners by such belief? How many criminals have
been saved by acceptance of the theory? Many have been made criminals,
unbelievers, infidels, agnostics and atheists by it; how many have been
made Christians? Can any one be named who has been made a more earnest
and successful soul winner, or a sweeter saint, by espousal of the
doctrine? If one blank page were set aside for a list of all victims of
sin and vice and crime, who were redeemed by faith in evolution, the
space would be wasted. Is there any comfort in it to the dying, any
help to the living? Would any evolutionist preacher read to the dying,
the so-called classic passage from Darwin, showing that every living
thing on the tangled bank came from one germ without any assistance
from God? Is there any choice passage in all their books, fit to be
read to the dying, or to a man in trouble, or in need of salvation? Is
there anything to put hope in the breast, or inspire a man to a holy
life? Anything to lift up a man sodden with sin, and redeem him from
the fetters that bind him?
