WHAT DR. CADMAN SAYS
The Bible as a Whale Does Nat
Speak of Itself as the “Word of
God.’”
Dr. S. Parkp« ('adman conducts a
column in the New York Hcrald-
Tribuno entitled "Dr. ('adman's Daily
Counsel.” Some one from Fox boro,
Mass., wrote to Dr. ('adman ns fol
lows :
“The Bible affirms that ‘in six days
God made Meaven and earth and all
tlint in them is and rested on the
seventh day.’
“Modern scientists claim that' man
gradually developed from lower ani
mal life. Again, the Bible says ‘God
crented man in his own image.’
"Evolutionists claim that man de
scended from the chimpanzee. Both
teni'.iings cannot be true. How can
evolution and the Christian religion
go hand in hand?
“If one is n profound believer in
God’s word how can he believe in
evolution ns it is scientifically pro
pounded?”
Dr. Cadmnn replied to the above
as follows :
The inquirer is tackling his prob
lem from the surface instead of from
the center and will never get his job
lots of religious thinking patched to
gether in this way. /
If, on t'.ie other hand, he will take
the evolutionist’s theory of man ns a
developing creature, and then appre
hend St. Paul's theory of human de
velopment with its climax in Christ,
his surface and technical difficulties
into the background.
Those who frame siicn questions
' as the above have to reorganise tfieir
entire philosophy and should start
with n carefully selected reading list.
Hence it is futile to offer pat, one
senteneo replies to their specific ques
tions. A satisfactory answer can
come only through u new mental
growth for which several years of
study should be allowed and planned.
I may add that no respectable sci
entist affirms that man "descended
from the f'.iimpanzee.” Nor does the
Bible as a whole speak of itself as
the "word of God."
Millions of devout Christians and
Jews believe in the theory of evolu
tion as a theory, and nlso believe that
the Bible contains the will of God
revealed in the consummate spiritual
experience of men.

amazed by the number of people

five dollars a day, were required to

Betsy, somehow, managed to
keep her eyes open In the face of
her questioner’s unclad body. She
replied with an Inner twinge of
guiltiness.
“I—l—don’t know, except I have '
» contract for a two-months' tryout,
and this was tbs only place they
had to give me.”
“Tough break for Ruthle. She's
been up against It,” the tall blonde
commented in a matter-of-fact way.
“I'm —I’m sorry—" began Betsy
unhappily.
"What for? It ain't yonr funeral.

of resentment against her as a
newcomer—and of hardbolled con- |

modesty. This last worried her
most, for she was dreading with

attended by the least privacy.
The girls made a place for her
at the far end of the dressing table,
and Betsy unloosened her frock :
with fingers that shook, and drew ■.
It over the head of her trembling |
little body. One thing partially re- ,
assured her tortured mind as she
untied her shoes, then rolled down
and took off her Btocklngs; It was,
that none of the girls seemed to
be watching her. or paying any
thing but the most casual attention
to her. They were absolutely de
void of any consciousness of nud
ity. these girls; and of either mor
bid curiosity as to one another’s
figures or sensitiveness about theii

There was a certain amount oi

Interest; and with her wits hard
applied to the task, Betsy managed
to squirm Into her bathing suit hall
at a time, greatly aided In th<
process of concealment by a bath

Wriggling edging watching

yet to come—the moment when on
the set she would surrender th«
flimsy shield of her bathrobe and
stand there In front of many
strange people, many staring eyes
with most of her body exposed
She could scarcely keep back
tears of disappointment fathered by
a wish that she had never come.
Oh, if only she had quit the train

There she could live without com

could be glad that he was In a

was great to be a man. she reflected
ruefully, and get more clothes to

The cynical girl, Clare, came
now to help Betty with her make
up; and as Betsy raised a grateful
face to her experienced ministra
tions the girl saw Its high color,
saw the lurking tears, saw the
bathrobe—and suddenly knew. *
“It's tough at first, honey, but
not so bad—after a while. Never
mind If the girls kid—just keep
the robe on right up until they're
ready to shoot the scene. I'll tip
you off when to ditch it. Then
stick tn the back of the bunch.
You'll be practically out of sight—"
“Oh.” said Betsy miserably, "I
didn't expect to play a part like
this. Is there much of this—this
sort of thing to do?"
"Much? Say, there’s nothing
else hut! If they were picturlzln'

Mount of Olives, against the sun

guys who are known In the dic

movies as directors—”
Clare was Interrupted at this
moment by a thin, blowsy voice
from the doorway:
“Give me a coffin nafl. one of you
kids, please.”
Betsy glanced with the others
toward the door, through which
there had Just stepped a creature
so forlorn that Be’tsy's heart beat
fast with instantaneous pity. There
was no way of judging the woman’s
age—she might as well have been
thirty-five as sixty-five, for there are
certain stages of feminine dissolu
tion beyond which not only beauty
and grace and charm are smudged
out by the taint of sin and suffer
ing, but where the years, too, be
come nondescript
A queer, restrained hush had
fallen over the ribald girls upon
recognizing the newcomer; levity
and sangfroid wilted before the liv
ing picture of what might as easily
be ahead of any or every one of
them. One of the girls respectfully
held forth a cigarette, then a match,
for the woman, who smoked avidly.
She paused there to chat a mo
ment with the girls and Clare, at
the tar end of the room with Betsy,
called down to her warnlngly:
“God, Mrs. Perry, you look like
a wet rag. Better spruce up; the
assistant’s been looking tor you.”
Though Clare’s speech was in the
argot of the atmosphere In which
she lived, her tone and manner
were earnest and deferential; tot
there still lingered about this wo
man, like a spectre over old castlq
walls, something of the grand man

| Mr. (Myers urged the ministerial
association to petition Congress to
adopt a joint resolution proposing an
amendment to the constitution pro
viding that every State may refuse
,to grant divorces for any cause or
for all of the causes mentioned in the
uniform law.
Minister** who perform the marri
,nge ceremony for divorced peraonH
were sharply criticized by Mr. Myers.
Referring to an article in the Ob
server, citing 1881) as Mecklenburg
county h last proud year in the mat
ter of low divorce records. Mr. Myers
named facts and figures tending to
prove that the rate of divorce in
crease in the county by 15)40 will
make marriages and divorces equal.
There were 323 marriages to one
divorce in 1881), Mr. Myers said,
while there were 843 marriages in
1924 but 60 divorces during the same
year.
”The county’s record of 38 di
vorces for 1904 stood until the war
marriages began to fall apart in
1922. when 88 divorce decrees were
granted, which was the high record
until 1925. when it again stood at
88,” Mr. Myers’ paper said- “Fifty
three of the couples given complete
separation were married during the
' World War, 15)14 to 1919, or in the
i ter.fie years following that period,
1920 to 15)23.”
• ‘Adultery,” the paper eonti nueK,
• “was the greatest cause for divorce
1 in thw county, resulting in 48 matri
monial failures, while the five-yeai;
separation law came next by being
i the grounds on which 35 of the 83
, unions were split. Rigamy was a low
third and had five divorces to its
; credit.”
‘‘Divorce is never the result of ac
» cidcnt,” the paper continues. “It
► can’t just happen. Somebody must
- plan for it. work for it, pay for it.
I The very act of getting or granting
absolute divorce, which sets both
1 parties free to marry other mates at
. once is a crime and violates the best
