EUiotte in The Star on evolution. Mr. Elliott<* is a philosopher, a gr<*«.t thinker and wo always enjoy his. writings. He should write more. We as a people in this state do not need to become, divided on the subject of evolution and have ridiculous laws passed by our state legislature, Those of us who studied t he first chapter of Genesis on last Sunday f.nd that Mo^es account of creation corresponds exactly to what the geologist of today finds when he reads the history of the earth from the rocks. By the book of Genesis n hundred generations have been taught, the truth of a progressive creation, magnificent in the unity of matter which is shared by ourselves and the remotest star, and controlled by one eternal will. We find that evolution is a fact, and that it does not oppose religion. No scientist now believe' or teaches that man descended from a monkey. ! Contrary to popular hei.ct evolu tion is not confined to the origin of man, hut it explains how all living things have become as we now ee them, and how and why: the most of them are being changed. Neither does it teach that every living thing is dav by day, in every way, growing better and better. But that, many have been dropped out in the oast and many more will be dropped in the future. A survival of th>' fittest. The laws of God and the law of nature are one and the same. There is no conflict, only perfect harmony. Have Bible Head in Schc >ls That we are trying to put across is that we do not need any foolish laws passed in this state but that we should see to it that we employ teachers who have religion in the first place and that w>• might require them to rend a portion of the Bible every dny in school without com ment. More than half the states now have a law requiring the daily reading of the Bible in all public schools and we should have. So if you have been worried about your ancestors, “You should never stop to ponder as to whether you have an central monkeys on the family tree:1 But be always striving. As the swift years pass, to live so thnt the fu ture will not think that you were an ass.” Robert A. Millikan, of Pasadena, California, a scientist who believes in religion separated the atom into dec j.trons, and weighed and measured j them, also discovered the cosmic ray I of light that penetrates through six feet of lead; says, ,he purpose of ‘ e.onee is to develops without pre i jiulice of any k.nd a knowledge of . the facts, the laws, and the processes ; of nature. The even more important t.' k of religion is t odevelop the consciences, the ideals, and the as pirations of mankind. The scientific anti the religious sides of life often come into contact and mutually sup port each ether. Science without re 1 gion, obviously may become n curse rather thar a blessing to man kind, but science dominated by the pir t of religion is the key to pro gic-s and the hope of the future.” C Vlt TAKEN IN SHELBY; SEEK TYCO LIKES HERE CV. rloktc <Jbserver.
