Science and the b

A. the session Of the general assembly
u the Southern Presbyterian church at
Baltimore, the case OF Rev. DIR. Woodrow
OF Georgia was resumed, and he continued
the presentation OF his appeal. He quoted
from his speech and writings in which he
supported the idea Of revolution, and said:
He had been charged with subOrdinRting
| the Scriptures to science. This was not
true. He had never spoken or written a
word which could bear any such cOnstruC-
ton. He had never taught n word thai
would throw q doubt upOnthe headship OF
Adam, without regard to the manner in
which, or the material OF whichGOd formed
his body. He believed Adam was a miraCu-
ious creation. he held all his beliefs to the
teaching OF the Holy Scriptures and to
nothing else. So he holds his opinion as to
the formation OF Adams body. Upon any
subject OF which the Scriptures are silent
he accepts natural history as his
guide, but only on such subjects. As a
church court, the general assembly had
nothing to do with his view outside the
teachings OF the Bible. All it has to do is
to discover if his teachings conflict with
the Scriptures, and il they do not then
the case must end. He quoted from Pad
dingtOn, Brown and others their views of
the dust Of which man was formed, mean
ing dust from which, through steps from
oIiV SGASC " "NNNiSA A'"A UlHN w '"' "
dominion over all other living
creatures. 1t made no difference
whether the formation of Adams
body was mediate or immediate. He was
made u living soul, and God made a cove
nant with him. The p~resbytery of Augusta
could not find n conviction against the
speakers belief for he had not ~antagonized
the Bible. He had not taught that God
had performed his works systematically.
That will have to be determined by each
individual mind. He believed that God
formed man out OF the dust Of the ground,
and yet he was charged with teaching con
trary to the Bible and the standards be-
cause he went beyond and believed be.
You'd what was not contained in them or
uponswhich they were silent. To sustain
the synod OF Georgia would be to condemn
all who believe there may be some truth in
evolution, IT WAS n fact that the church
had never failed in deciding on science to
decide wrong,
Rev. William Adams OF Augusta the
prosecutor, followed in defense OF the act
ion az the Georgia synod in suspending Mr..
Woodrow. He said that Mr.. Woodrow's
doctrine served to unsettle the minds OF
the church people. and that the question
should be disposed OF by the convention
nov and forever.

Labor's Cause.

The floor OF the house was accorded one
day last week to the committee OF labor,
and Mr. O'Neill OF Missouri chairman OF
that committee, called up the bill to con-
fine the sale OF the pr PRODUCTS OF convict
labor to the state in which they are pro.
ducRd, Nh, O'Neil explained
The Measure originated in a visit to this
city OF manufactures from New York,
Brooklyn, Jersey City, Philadelphia, and
other cities who appeared before the com
mite, md ristMrad the absolute ruin
that stared thrm IN the lace rom the com.
pttjtiGrn OF t@avHt labor. One industry
afSer another was attacked by this convict
labor system, and in each case the indus
try was obliged to lower the rates OF wa.
ges or 60 out OF business. Men who were
paying SO and $3.50 q day to their en-
ployes, found themselves face to face with
competitors who paid only 6vo cents an
hour. The labor organization Of the
country had urged upon the committee
the necessity for the passage Of the bill.
A long discussion eRsued, one OF the
speakers being Mr.. Wilson Of Minnesota,
who argued against the bill on constitu.
tional grounds. An amendment was
adopted prohibiting the Importation for
commercial purposes OF all goods, wares or
merchandise from any foreign country to
the United States which, in whole or in part,
were manufactured or produced by con.
vict labor, aud prescribing penalties for the
violation of this prohibition. The previous
question was then ordered-yeas 1S5,
nays 43-on the engrossment and third
reading OF the bill, and then the house adj
journed. The senate passed, with amend
ments, the house bill to establish adepart-
ment OF labor. Mr.. 0'Neil had an inter
view with the speaker and Mr.. Randall
was assured that the committee or
rules will give additional time to the com
mittee on labor, which, he says, guaran-
tees the passage OF the bill.
The bin provides for a department Of
labor, tile general design and duties OF
which shall be to acquire and difrnse
among the neople of tho unitad States
useful information on subjects connected
with labor, and especially upon its rela-
ton to capital, the hours OF labor, the
earnings OF laboring men n women, and
the means Of promoting their material,
social, intellectual and moral prosperity.
The personnel is TO consist Of a commits
%sioner, to be appointed by the president,
and confirmed by the senate, who is to
hold Office for four years and receive a sal
airy Of $4,000; a chief clerk, stenogra pher,
minor clerks, copyists and messengers.
