Secretary Wilbur pointed out the weakness of the theory of ntis whe fail to take 1 into a punt,’ and expressed the view that a belief in God is just as es to the modern ist who holds to the theory of evolu- tion as to the fundamentalist who ac- cepts literall the bibical explanation of the creation There can be no conflict the truth of science and of religion. But there is a conflict between the Bible story of creation as we have taught it for several hun- years and the evolutionist theory. Consequently those who see in the teaching of evolution in the public schools a menace to religion are cor rect in so far as they see a menace to the Bible story of creation.” The possibility that er have crept into the bibical through translation and rewriting was admitted by Secretary Wilbur. ‘The first sentence of the Bible was written at least a thousand yvears before the last sentence was written It was nearly 400 vears after the Old Testament closed before the disci- ples began to write the story of the life of Jesus. The Bible, like the world, demands an explanation. Says Bible Form of Evolution. ‘I think it fairly dent that the Bible itself is not only an evolution, but that it describes an evolution. ‘The Bible story of creation no doubt had been handed down from genera tion to generation by word of mouth until finally it wa ing.

Some cells have remained in the dust and muck, but man is the capstone of creation and represents the triumph of all the agen- cies working toward his uplift. “If, in the processes of millions of years we have come to the point in evolution where man may reach out and grasp immortality, or may reject and refuse immortality, it is indeed true that we are dw between two eternities, past and future. "here is one clear call In Christ’s ge—it is a call to hear, to see, to know, to advance, to reach out, to seek God. In His mes: I find no call to close the eyes or shut the ea to the things that reason may discern. “When scientists have solved all the problems of life, when they are able to take the protoplasm and de- elop it into a full-grown man, it will be time enough for the scientists to begin dogmatizing instructions in the vays of life. When they can form the protoplasm from which life springs, then it will be time enough for them to deny that God was needed in crea- tion.” Sees éar&;zrlAéf Eden Rather Than Zoo As Grandpa’s Home| Rev.

All the trees blown down were | found to have been strong and healthy | before the storm. H Following his inspection Col. Sherrill | said that he proposed to plant a row | of trees nearer the sea wall in the fu ture, so that in the event any of them fell in the path of a storm they would not reach the roadway and cause damage. The usual freak of a storm also was prevalent on the point. One of the Japanese cherry trees in front of the teahouse was broken off about six inches below the ground, and as clean a cut as though it had been sawed. An examination showed that apparently the wind had caught it in such a way as to twist it around and break it off, instead of just blowing it over and splitting it. $1,155 DRY FINES IN DAY.

Mr. Bryan he termed a man who throughout hig life has stood for his convictions and fought for what he felt was the right of both political and moral questions. “And he had been right on moral questions,” he said. The words brought a volley of handclapping. “Today I introduce him to you by a title due him as a representative of the lowly Nazarene.” He then pre- sented the speaker as ‘“Brother Bryan.” The fundamentalist leader spoke briefly on his activities in the relig- world, saying that when in the eat of political campaigns he had refrained from participating in re- 1 exercises for fear that his ac The Topic of Interest v of that is that you do fon for service among That's a socio: God, to Thee,” the — at every dance — at every tea — girls chat about gems and jewelry.
