“Everywhere is ceaseless change. Nowhere is there perfect adjustment and harmony, always a constant becoming, a never-ceasing growth. The world is never finished, never a flawless work of art, but always striving toward perfection, taking its course, it may be, toward that one far-off divine event toward which the whole creation moves.”—F. L. Darrow.
Fossil remains show that none of the plants or animals of the distant past were like those of to-day. They prove that species have altered since the beginning; and the farther back in time we find the remains the more imperfect, the series showing a gradual improvement in forms.—Editor.
