Excerpt from The Romance of Evolution and Its Relation to Religion Newport, R. I., ten years at Hartford, Conn., and four years at Sharon, Mass. In 1904 he built a house at Greenfield, Mass., where he made his home with his daughter and her fam ily until his death on February 16, 1910. Mr. Kimball was a man of a wide range of reading, thorough, exact and untiring. He was sometimes truer to his convictions than to his convenience and preferred the approval of his own conscience to the applause of the multi tude. He was accustomed to speak his mind with great freedom not only upon the philo sophical and religious beliefs which he cher ished, but also upon the vexing social problems of his generation. He was upright and down right, courageous and persistent. He was also remarkably productive, for in spite of his busy life of study and of pastoral service he wrote unceasingly upon the subjects and in behalf of the causes which enlisted his enthusiasm. A graphic article of his appeared in the Spring field Republican on the day before his death, and another in the Christian Register on the day after his death.

Excerpt from The Romance of Evolution and Its Relation to Religion The writer of these essays was a vigorous thinker and a man of conspicuous gifts of public speech. Through his love for natural beauty he was early led into scientific research and he was early led into scientific research and he made himself one of the most convincing of the interpreters of the philosophy of evolution. He combined a scientific habit of mind with a deep interest in spiritual realities. He was independent in judgment, sincere in utterance and vivid and picturesque in his capacity to translate truth into terms of life. John C. Kimball was born at Ipswich, Mass., on the 23d of May, 1832. He graduated at Amherst College in 1854 and after teaching for several years entered the Harvard Divinity School where he graduated in 1859. From 1860 to 1871 he was the minister of the First Parish Church in Beverly, Mass., though during two of these years he served as chaplain of the Eighth Massachusetts Volunteers.

"For as long as history has been with us, religion has been a feature of human life. There is no known culture for which we have an ethnographic or an archaeological record that does not have some form of religion. Even in the secular societies that have become more common in the past few centuries, there are people who consider themselves religious and aspire to practise the rituals of their religion. These religions vary in form, style and size from small cults numbering a few hundred people centred around a charismatic leader to worldwide organizations numbering tens, or even hundreds, of millions of adherents with representations in every country. Some, like Buddhism, take an individualistic stance (your salvation is entirely in your own hands), some like the older Abrahamic religions view salvation as more of a collective activity through the performance of appropriate rituals, and a few (Judaism is one) have no formal concept of an afterlife. Some like Christianity and Islam believe in a single all- powerful God,
