Theology has been endeavoring to answer the-latter for some time, Science has recently begun to surmise the answer to the first. Yesterday we thought that man had been on this earth some 6,000 years; today we know that he has been here 600,000, and maybe 6,000,000, Late yesterday afternoon the scientific thought Inclined to the monkey-man evolution; today this thought admits its entire lack of any theory. Because the more we discover as to man’s origin the farther back we place the time of his ar rival on this earth, and right at the raw beginnings of him he was Bo monkey, but a man, Aye, more, tnere is every evi- Gence to believe that back in the and learning forgotten by his rude descendants.

Tt hag been a long, long trail. Some of the stars above us are less ancient than man, some of the stars above us will be lost in commie dust when man persists. But today, as in the e. we do know that but thing counts eternally in the giant round—that s man each day do the best that fs im him and therein rest content. The Wonders of Faith It was precisely at 6 a, m. Sat- urday that Sallie Jeff Lucas was born. At 7:30 her mother dressed and went to-breakfast, On Sunday morning, when Sal- Ue Jeff was barely past 24 hours old, her mother and father took her to church, and Sunday after noon they went for s 13-mile auto ride, On Monday Sallie Jeff's mother @id her housework and watched tenderly over her first born.

It is the foundation of all religion, just as ft ts the foundation of the Christian Science creed, to which Mrs. Lucas subscribes, The faith that men move moun- tains robs childbirth of its ter. rors, When science has explained faith, it will have reached its ultt- mate.
