All this is being done, the latter proclaims to e the religious faith of the younger generation. Apparently the closer follow ers of Mr. Bryan in this moyement do not realize that they, and not the evolutionists, are making it impossible for young anen and women who are intellectually enlightened to remain in their denominations It is the fundementalists. clare that Christianity and ¢ a dangerous thing they do repeatedly, that one cannot be an evolutionist and Christian at the same time. for this forces students of. ur who find themselves compelled by the evidence to accept the truth of evolution to conclude that they must therefore count themselves as opponents to the churches. Dr, Edwin Conklin says: “The worst form of infidelity is not disbelief in doctrines, whether theological or scientific but disbelief in the ultimate triumph of truth. If evolution is false it cannot be saved by truth, if it is true, it cannot be desre by theolog; The young gentlemen, believers in eyolution, who stir up this case, did so in the belief that they were aiding the cause. They supposed that if only they could get the publie’s interest centered on evolution, it would be an easy matter to wipe out the superstitions which surround the subject in the and not the scientists, who de olution are incompatible. It is for the defenders of the faith to affirm, « el average man’s mind. They forget that these superistiti are wrapped up in the average man’s inner consciousness. Man is not rid of his superstitions in days. It is a matter of generations. The history of philosophy, of that opinions are spread in the m: but that that always comes to the front which is more easily isped, is most suited und agreeable to the human mind in its ordinary condition, Ant evolution is less agreeable to the human mind than this biblical version of man’s creation, Mr. Bryan would have all of us believe that evoluti destroys religion; whereas it fortifies itself. The religion of evolution is not new, It is the old religion of Confucious and Plato and Moses. It looks forward to mn numbered gge f human progress upou the earth, to ages of better social organization, of increasing specialization and co. operation among races and nations, to ages of greater justice and pence a day, or a thousand jon, all shows n it. It is a religion in Praises Coolidge Samu¢l W. Reynolds, of Lord and Taylor, New York, says As a merchant I am glad of the opportunity offered me of publicly endorsing the splendid talks recently made by Pre dent Coolidge on the subject of thrift. It seems to me that those who hastily interpret President Coolidge’s sentiment to mean the drastic or complete cutting down of all expenditures do him a grave injustice, for President Coolidge in word and in deed has frequently given evidence of his firm belief that trade and the unhindered flow of goods constitute the life blood of a nation.” Dale Disapproves Senator Dale of Vermont declares that if the proposed re. organization of the federal prohibition enforcement units is put into effect, as announced by Secretary Mellon, it will inevit- ably break down enforcement of the dry laws by the states and practically eliminate co-operation between the states and federal government in their endeavor to enforce respect for the joint enactments. The new organization will weaken rather than strengthen the work on prohibition enforcement Life For Armed Bandits Apprehension of New York merchants over the increase in slayings of storekeepers and clerks by bandits prompted the board of trade and transportation to adopt a resolution call ing upon Governor Smith and the legislature to amend the state criminal law and compel courts to impose life sentences on convicted armed bandits. Opportunities in Power Great opportunities exist for reducing farm operation costs through reduction in labor requirements and better pow- er application. Only about nineteen per cent of the land area is now utilized for crops, and it has been estimated that per haps fifty per cent can be utilized when population increases make it necessary. Much farm work now done by human labor will eventually be replaced by mechanical power, Power and labor account for about sixty per cent of the total cost of farming. A better knowledge of power requirements and more efficient power units would cut production costs, Horses pro vide 15,916,000 of the power units, mules, 4,054,000; tr 450,000; stationary engines 2,500,000; electric installations 000; windmills, 1,000,900, and automobiles 4,500,000, Learned Nothing The serious menace in any reduction of the army appre: priation is that it will be felt directly by the national guard and the organized reserve, the only instruments of defense we have bebind dur little body of regulars. For the guard and the reserve will Lecome practically belpless without the esprit, the technical knowledge and the instruction supplied by the regular personnel.

I would encour- age them to look the evidence for Christian Science healing squarely in the face, and to judge it by its fruits. One is compelled to respect the restraint of those who refuse to rush pretipitately into any course j of action, The Bible comamnas .s to be ready to give a reason for our faith, Christian Scicnee asks no ecognition save on the basis of demonstration, There 1s nothing mysterious, mystical or elusive about its tenets.

One may seek this help through various avenues provided by Mra. Eddy. There are her published writ ings: the Hunday Christian Selence service; the Wedaesday testimony meetings; the Christian Science Reading Roéms; Chrirtian Selence practitioners; the Christian Sctence periodicals and the authorized lee tures.

A silent treatment may sur error to chem! ealization, but seldom induces con- fusion and antagonism, worry over patients is a sign that we fear for the efficacy of our treat- ment, and such feur Is quite sure to prove fatal to good results.

Perhaps it is well, however, to state the obylous fact that a bual: ness man should seek Christian Scl- ence help in order to learn first what true business is, that he may win blessings for others ag well as himself, Chureh, in Christian Sclence, means the reception and manifesta- tion of Truth and Love. Therefore, if Christian Scientists should ever fail to reflect Truth and Love, tn their church work, thelr activities would ‘be unchristian and unscien: tific. All those who have received healing through Christian nee and have been accepted as mem bers. of a Christian Science church will find many opportunities for ex- pressing their gratitude through the numerous channels for work provid | ed in The Mother Church and branch urches, It well known that Christian churches, generally, expend much en y in their efforts to raise money t have been engvged In religious for nearly half a century, In Zox chuveh, and fatt fo iclence, and I can say, | telligently, that thus far the C tion Sefence church has kept itself quite free from the fran some times questionab'e arid often futie efforts to raise money, w so largely in Christendom.

In that well-known marb‘e, cut by the French sculptor Rodin, the Thinker’ is represented as a toller, seated, with head bowed and sup- ported by the hand, the countenance egntracted, and the whole figure in. dicative of intense and paintul ef- fort. Such {s not the posture and ex pression of the true thinker, In Christian Seience, one learns that the strained effort is the action of | the human, mortal mind, instead of the activity of spiritual sense.
