PULLEN AUDITORIUM
Audience Consists of Raleigh
Church . Goers and SUte
. College Students
By BROCK BARKLET
RALEIGH. May 17. Divine and
scientist met in combat at State col
leg this afternoon and before a crowd
that jammed Pullen hall fought for'
Lmlnutes over diverging contentions as
io the origin ot man and the evolution
of matter:
Who won, the scribes at the ringside
would not venture to say. The J)(bt
was hot. and both claimed victory with
support from their partisans liberal
and enthusiastic, but what the great
audience, composed of State college
students and RaleUrh churchgoers,
gleaned from the heated and ridiculing
discussion of religious and scientific
contentions is too difficult of estimate.
In the absence of a capable superior to
sit in judgment.
A real right it was. A minister or
the gospel and an Instructor of youths
pitted against each other.
On the one side was Rev. W.- B.
Riley, D. D.. pastor of the First Bap
tist chureh of Minneapolis.' author, of
numerous text-books on religious sub
jects and a recognized authority on the
Bible. .
On the opposite aide was Dr. Z, P.
Metcalf. professor of soology and ento
mology at State college and a member
of a half dozen eclentiflc societies of
national and world-wide prominence.
"Resolved, that evolution is a demon
strated fact.-was the query. an4 if
perhaps, neither stuck any too cloae to
the subject, both gave to their audience
a mass of contentions and declarations
that were, to say the least, highly Uf j
lumlnatlng-
The audience was almost as interest
ing within itself as the discussion.
Most of It was on hand half an hour
before the advertised hour for the con
test to begin, seeking assurance of a
seat and full view of the whole affair.
Many were turned away, wnue kbi
niithtH into th doorways.

The cataclysm of applause which reii
