and Cuvier was a battle of Ideas; and Ideas are the most real of things. St.-Hilaire championed the Doctrine of Analogies, or Unity of Plan in Nature: Cuvier championed the Doctrine of Final Causes, or Purpose in Nature. St.Hilaire said: "I take care not to ascribe to God any intention I observe facts merely, and go no further: I am content to be the historian of what is." Cuvier said: "Whatever exists has a purpose assigned it: every bone, joint, process, has a meaning. I must not only observe what is I must also ask what the is is for." Thus asking, that imperial Genius succeeded in re-creating, in large measure, out of torsos and fossil bones, the pre-Adamite animal world. Summary.

While, therefore, the Theory of Archetypal Forms demands a Planning Creator, the Theory of Telic Figurations demands a Planning Adjuster. What Mr. Darwin calls Natural Selection, I would call God's Telic Adjustment, configuring the Archetypal Form to a special need. It is not, as the evolutionists hold, that the pickerel was transformed by vertebral metamorphosis into the tortoise, and the tortoise into the owl, and the owl into the gorilla, and the gorilla into Adam. It is that pickerel, tortoise, owl, gorilla, Adam, are modifications of the Archetypal Vertebra for specific purposes. God as Creator conceived the Archetypal Form: God as Arranger-whether directly, by a present, active volition, or indirectly, by natural laws of His own appointing, it matters not-evolves figurations indefinitely various, adjusting them to necessities as occasioned by new conditions: and this along the ideal axis of the Archetypal Vertebra.

Reviewing, then, the Creative Week Τύπος καὶ Τέλος. as a system of Archetypal Forms, and

surveying the organic structures of to-day as a system of Telic Figurations, be it ours to join with the four Living Creatures and the four-and-twenty Elders of the Apocalypse, in falling down before Him Who sitteth on the throne, and worshiping Him Who liveth for ever and ever, and casting our crowns before the throne, saying: "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power; for Thou createdst all things, and by reason of Thy will they are, and were created" (Rev. iv.).

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
