Toy; yet they did not put their personal friendship and admiration for a man’s person above God’s word and their loyalty to the Saviour. This article is written and published to show the people of North Carolina the determined, persistent efforts to fasten Evo. lution upon North Carolina. If they will do this in a great re ligious College, what may you expect from some of the great State Schools?

W"HY WAKE FOREST? “THERE’S A REASON.” Sixth: Editor Livingston Johnson boasts that the alumni of Wake Forest can, single- handed and alone, support W''ake Forest, and that, if the need comes, they will do it. Great boast that! and a safe one!— It is whispered even among these leaders of the organized work in North Carolina (I have the proof and can give it) that Prest. Poteat ought to go, but it would appear to be a surrender to those who have continued to protest against Evolution in Wake Forest, and in their wrath they are deter mined that it shall not appear that they have been wrong-.

It is the little book that got the Evoluter’s goat. A candidate for president read a copy and ordered 20. Bud Robinson says, “It is the best thing on the subject, I have ever seen.” Prominent Baptist pastor calls it a “merciless analysis” of evolution. Don’t pass it up because it is cheap; we made it that way that thousands may read. Fifth edition ready in March. Send 2 dimes.
