Science | has shown it to be difficult to prove |the very existence of God."” Hayes' Statement Cardinals Hayes from the pulpit of St. Patrick's Cathedral, said: “It is fashion of the day to see conflict and contradiction between rpeligion and science” but “true religion re- verses true science, rejoicing in its unfolding of the beauties of nature because it makes manifest the |omnipotent intelligence of God.” The Rev, Christian F. Relsner, Methodist, charged Prof. Barnes ' with being “unfair, because he is not |familiar with modern theology.” “As !well might 1 undertake to criticize science as~for him to eriticize theo- logy,” he continued, “with the evie dent ignorance in that field which he displays.” The Rev. Dr. Harry Emerson Fos- dick, Baptist, said: “It is the little minds in both camps who cause the most trouble. The foremost religious minds are becoming more scientific |and the foremost scientific minds are becoming more religious.” The Rev. Dr. Henry Darlington, Episcopal, said: ‘“Science and ree |ligion are not at war, as the illdn- formed think, but are cooperators for the gencral good of mankind, Science bullds the machinery.

They expected to reach the top this afternoon. The climbers have provided more fircworks than ever before for the night’s display and the whole valley below will witness the pyrotechnic welcoming of the new year. In- cluded in the spectacular display wiil be two floating star shells imported from Italy, which will float out from the snow covered peak like silver moons, then burst into a multitude of brilliant stars. A great white light will shine from the peak at 9 p. m. to be fol lowed by two rockets and a $12,000 candle power flare on Crater Point. 'At midnight will come the grand display, Street lights here will be dim at the hours of the celebration so0 that the many thousands who will brave the night air will be able to see the spectacle more clearly.
