The Coal River colleries'in West Virginia, near Prestonburg, Ky. are owned by a corporation on ganized by the Brotherhood of Lacomotive Engineers, The mines are, of course, worked by union labor, The object of the plan ts “to prove that better and cheaper coal can be mined, giving the worker a falr wage, and at the same time giving the shareholder suitable returns,” and at the same time lightening labor at every point by modern mining machinery. The Brotherhood is confident of success, It has already built o Mistery office building in Cleve land and established a co-operative national bank, both successful.

But when he enters |the republic of the sage and the phil oxopher, he must ask only for fair |play and must expect to neither give nor receive quarter. Bryan is l|ngainst mixing religion and the evo- liutionary theories of Charles Dar lwin and Alfred Russell Wallace. In his letter of reply to the Har vard oration of Prof. Wm. M. Davis, Bryan says, “It ts well for the Christ }ian world to understand that evolu tion and Christianity cannot be har. monized.” on Queen Anno Mill sald they hal had these carw for severn! years land they had never noticed such terrible habit# as the ¢ are the Jelty went out grve them credit for |A man from Denmark said in his! country thos were considered benefit, as they devouret the aphia! well be disinfected for) recall | |at.the university or the Ibrary. |you think, Mr. Do! the | Amertean people will ever wake up [to the importance of public affaire?

Aw to evolution, millions are evolu tlonists, and yet good Christians. They lead Uvex of justice and merey. Evolution has to do only with the outward body and form. Certainly the body that I wear has come up thru the long pest, thru an animal ancestry. But this body ts what? Only & garment! An instrument for the real me, the eternal and divine spirit.
