Lady Hope's story first appeared in an American Baptist newspaper, the
Watchman-Examiner, on 15 August 1915, the story preceded by a four-page
report on the summer Bible conference held in Northfield, which that year
ran from 30 July to 15 August 1915.
Original text
It was one of those glorious autumn afternoons, that we sometimes enjoy in
England, when I was asked to go in and sit with the well known professor,
Charles Darwin. He was almost bedridden for some months before he died. I
used to feel when I saw him that his fine presence would make a grand
picture for our Royal Academy; but never did I think so more strongly than
on this particular occasion.
He was sitting up in bed, wearing a soft embroidered dressing gown, of
rather a rich purple shade.
Propped up by pillows, he was gazing out on a far-stretching scene of woods
and cornfields, which glowed in the light of one of those marvelous sunsets
which are the beauty of Kent and Surrey. His noble forehead and fine
features seem to be lit up with pleasure as I entered the room.
He waved his hand toward the window as he pointed out the scene beyond,
while in the other hand he held an open Bible, which he was always studying.
"What are you reading now?" I asked as I seated myself beside his bedside. "
Hebrews!" he answered – "still Hebrews. 'The Royal Book' I call it. Isn't
it grand?"
Then, placing his finger on certain passages, he commented on them.
I made some allusions to the strong opinions expressed by many persons on
the history of the creation, its grandeur, and then their treatment of the
earlier chapters of the Book of Genesis.
He seemed greatly distressed, his fingers twitched nervously, and a look of
agony came over his face as he said: "I was a young man with unformed ideas.
I threw out queries, suggestions, wondering all the time over everything,
and to my astonishment, the ideas took like wildfire. People made a religion
of them."
Then he paused, and after a few more sentences on "the holiness of God" and
the "grandeur of this book," looking at the Bible which he was holding
tenderly all the time, he suddenly said: "I have a summer house in the
garden which holds about thirty people. It is over there," pointing through
the open window. "I want you very much to speak there. I know you read the
Bible in the villages. To-morrow afternoon I should like the servants on the
place, some tenants and a few of the neighbors; to gather there. Will you
speak to them?"
"What shall I speak about?" I asked.
"Christ Jesus!" he replied in a clear, emphatic voice, adding in a lower
tone, "and his salvation. Is not that the best theme? And then I want you to
sing some hymns with them. You lead on your small instrument, do you not?"
The wonderful look of brightness and animation on his face as he said this I
shall never forget, for he added: "If you take the meeting at three o'clock
this window will be open, and you will know that I am joining in with the
singing."
How I wished I could have made a picture of the fine old man and his
beautiful surroundings on that memorable day!

Rebuttal by Darwin's children (zz wiki)
Everyone in Darwin's family denied the validity of the story. In 1918,
Darwin's son Francis wrote that "Lady Hope's account of my father's views on
religion is quite untrue. I have publicly accused her of falsehood, but
have not seen any reply. My father's agnostic point of view is given in my
Life and Letters of Charles Darwin, Vol. I., pp. 304–317. You are at
liberty to publish the above statement. Indeed, I shall be glad if you will
do so." In 1922, Darwin's daughter, Henrietta Litchfield, said she did not
believe Lady Hope had ever seen her father and that "he never recanted any
of his scientific views, either then or earlier. We think the story of his
conversion was fabricated in the U.S.A." Leonard, Darwin's last surviving
child, dismissed Lady Hope's account as a "hallucination" (1930) and "purely
fictitious" (1934).
