HuxleycalledtheCatholicChurch "thatvigorousandconsistentenemy ofthehighestintellectual,moralan sociallifeofmankind,"andIputthis quotationfirstincaseanyonemight thinkIwasundersomeillusion,and didnotknowmyHuxley,inthefollowingwordsofrelativepraisewhich Iamabouttogivehim:-

Thequotationneednotsurpriseus. Itwaspartofthecurrentlanguageof the'day,evenamongculturedpeople, andwasbaseduponthatamountof literatureandtraditionwhichwas theircommonproperty.Historians ofthedaydeducedlittlemorefro-:t thematerialsundertheirhands.Huxley,aphysicist,maybeexcused.

Huxleygavesome attentiontothe viewsoftheCatholicChurchonevolutionwhenmanyassumed,without proof,thatshewas rightoutsidethe question,asagipsy withhercharms mightbeoutsidea conferenceoflandedproprietors.Huxleyattemptedthe proof.Thefactsare these.OurDr.Mivartseemstohave actedasapositive irritantuponboth HuxleyandDarwin,andwhenhe clearlystatedinhis "GenesisofSpecies" -anexcellentbook, whoseunfortunate titlehasweighedit down-thatorthodoxauthorities agreeindistinctly assertingderivative creation."sothat theirteachingsharmonisewithallthat modernsciencecan possiblyrequire,"Huxleyfeltthatnow wasthetimeforaleapatthethroat.

Wehavebeenhonouredthis weekbythepresenceamongst usofthatconsequentiallittle figureintheGovernmentof thisCommonwealth,viz.,Lord Stonehaven.Hisvisitinhis officialcapacityis'indeedno smallhonourtoourState.His visitasanindividualhasan aspectthat,inaway,overshadowsandirritatesthebeneficenceofhisEx'sGovernorGeneralship'scomplimentto us,Sincehisarrivalinthe Commonwealth,theGovernorGeneralhasbeencloselyassociatedwithFreemasonry, andhasextendedhimselfonits behalf.DuringhisWestern visitheheldaprivateconclave withhisbrethrenattheHaystreetconventicle,Perth.Are Governor -Generalsappointed foronesectionofAustralians (thelow-lyingones),orfor Australiansgenerally?What areGovernorsGeneralpaid for?

Dr.Douglas,whoisministerof'the FirstCongregationalChurchofLos Angeles,California,complainsofthe "noisinessofthechurches."HecriticisesthewaytheaverageAmerican Protestantchurchconductsitsservice ofworship:

Thematterreallylookedserious. Georgewasheadstrong;also,hewas attheagewhenyouthmarriesin hasteandrepentsatleisure.

Ihadthoughttheaffairwouldwear offthatmysonwoulddiscoverthat E,2wasnotreallyinlovewithBarbaraBowden,butonlyattractedwith anattractionofatransitorynature thathadnorelationtolove.

OneeveningIwassittinginthe consultingroom,thelastofmypatientshavingdeparted.whenGeorge camequietlyintotheroom,pale,but withadetermined-xpressiononhis face.

"BarbaraBov:denhasdisappeared," hesaid. Ididnotanswerforamoment.Then, WithaslittleconcernasIcouldmuster.Isaid:

"Idon'tknow.Itoldherlast nightthatshedidnotmeetwithyour approval.andarrangedtomeetheras usualthisevening.Shedidnotturn up.and.onenquiryattheshop,they

"Myboy,"Isaid,whenhehadfinished,"Iamsorryforyou.Thisis yourfirstloveaffair.Youmayhave manymore."

"Never!"hesaid. "Ilovethat girlwithallmyheart,andImeanto marryher.Sheisalittlelady,and oneday,dad,youwillrealiseit,"

Thefewwordshehadspokenaffectedmewithagenuinesenseofpityfor myson,becauseofhisobviouslyhopelessworshipofthismaiden.

Imadenofurtherattempttosoften theblow,ratherexulting,Ifear,tofind thatthegirlhadevidentlysense enoughtoseetheconsequenceofpursuingthemisplacedaffectionforwhich, Iheld,shehadbeenintriguing.Any girlwithanounceofself-respectwould seethatpeoplecouldnotbutattribute theworstofmotivestoanysuchamorousaffairifpersistedin,anditwas agoodthingthatitwasallover.

Georgehadsecuredagoodpostin theofficeofSirJohnBarnwell,ashippingmanofwiderepute:Hisprospectsweregood,and,ifhebehaved himself,nodoubthewouldgetsent abroad,wherehewouldforgetall aboutthisunfortunateentanglement.

Thedaysmergedintoweeks.Weeks lengthenedoutintomonths.George couldgleannonewswhichthrewany lightastothewhereaboutsofBarbaraBowden,towardswhomhisattachmentdidnotseemtoloseanyof itswarmth.
