“[as for evolution]....cutting out the sections [on the subject] is preferrable if the portions are not thick enough to cause damage to the spine of the book as it is opened and closed in normal use.

“Change is always subjective. All through evolution you find that the conquest of nature comes by change in the subject.

“On the whole, at least in the author's experience, the preparation of species-specific antiserum fractions and the differentiation of closely related species with precipitin sera for serum proteins does not succeed so regularly as with agglutinins and lysins for blood cells.

“At any rate, if evolution turns out to be true, then the Christian should embrace it as one dedicated to following the truth wherever it leads.
