Dr. Hrdlicka's lecture vesterday was devoted to an impartial but elo- quent application of the theory of ovolution to religion. He maintained that the evidence that man is derived from lower forms of life not only docs not urdermine religion. but tends 1o nlace all churches oa a firmer foun- datior Know Soul Exists. ‘hoag of us who have loved and 1ost.'Y Ite said, “know the soul exists.

But when we come to an actual knowl- edge of it there is little to be sald. 1t is impossible to dlscover any defi- nite time in the life of a human be- ‘ng. frem conception to death. when a line can he drawn on one side of which there is no soul and on the other side of which there is soul. In the scale of Ilife itself there is no definite point at which it can be said thut the soul begins to exist. What- aver soul may be, it must exist in proportion to mind throughout na- ture.” Dr. Hrdlicka pointed cut that among human beings themseives there are recognized essenttal differences in ‘qouls”—a great statesman or artist being referred to as “a great soul’ whereas a crimina! or an idiot ts con- ed_practically “soulless. = lecturer considered the influence evolution upon religion in this fash- A on Analyais of Religion.

Re Geo:getown, Dr. Hrdlicka said spending a great deal of mone forl in the study of astronomy empl. to discover new stars, a few centuries ago it was con- to all human knowledge that were any new stars. Churches always must abandon dogmu for new facts. There can be only two kinds of belief—in what is true or in what not true The moral codes nf all merely rules as to what is general 6* | considered right behavior—that behavior advantageous to the | vidual and to the society in ! he lives. All such codes | based on knowledge of facts facts are false. then the moral will dictata hehavior which Be advantageous in man Pride in Descent. 1t is degrading for m. descended from lower ani as monkeys? Between man and highest of the apes there is a mendous gap which fllled with the superprimates were the precursors and probable jactual ancestors of man creatures who made great r seemingly unsurmountable diffi- culties. Man has more reaton to be proud of them than to jump to con- clusions by watching some disgusting antics of monkeys at the zoo and throwing aside with contempt the idea that he could have descended from such creatures. If man was created by the Divinity out of the dust, then the creation was imperfect, because man is imperfec® $'n, depravity and pain can be con- sidered in that event only as defects in the handiwork of the Almighty or otherwise man must come to the con- clusion that God intended him to be defective. If such was the intent of God is it not a sin to try to change is handiwork? Are not eugenics, giene, even the application of pre- ventive and curative medicine con- trary to the will of God and sinful? Is not everything sinful except utter stagnation. especially any aspiration of | man to improve the lot which God o dained for him at creation? License to Aspire. The theory that man is evolved from some lower form of life, on the other hand. gives him a license for all conceivable efforts to improve imself and the world in which he lives.

As a result | many disturbing things happened. A | sireet car got the signal to dart ahead while at least a score of pe- destrians were squarely in front of it and less than a yard from the motor- man’s platform.

The pollceman ade no effort to interfere and kicked playfully at one of the boys ‘as he cycled past his semaphore unlawfully, with the stop sign set against him. The boy might not only have been killed himself, but could very easily have run into an elderly man or woman and seriously injured them Whistle In Neglected.
