VOICE OF THE PEOPLH.
"You Pays Your Money and You Takes
Your Choice"

To tho Editor OF The Appeal.
The recent discussion Of the relation Of the
Bible 10 evolution in your columns develops
the fact that there are three distinct classes
OF those holding different views with refer
cnce TO the great question.
I. Those who hold that the Bible and all
possible forms Of evolution arc incompatible,
and evolution is true.
2. Those who hold that the Bible and oil
possible forms OF evolution are incompatible,
and the Bible Is true.
$. Those who hold that the Bible and
some possible form Of evolution may be com
patiblc, and both be true.
Tho first OF these classes Is, OF course
avowcdly skeptical.
The second class is In dilemma, and may
be put 10 great confusion. II evolution IL
any form, nj any time In all the future
should be established, this class have impru
dontly committed themselves 10 acknowl
edge the worthlessncss Of their Bibles, ant
they can escape this only by adopting tn
solo alternative, that Of beating hast,
retreat from the ground taken. That this I
no imaginary danger is clear when such
man as DIR. Hodge speaks Of the ''now almos
universally prevalent scientific doctrine o
evolution"
One thing Is sure: the third class, composed
Of such religious men as Calderwood, Flint
Asa Gray, McCosh, Woodrow, and host o
Others, and permitted by the churches o
Scotland and the greater part, by far, Of tn
Presbyterian churches In the United States
has all the advantage Of position. What
ever may come, these will bo able TO hol,
their ground. Fcarlessly they can encour
age scholarship and bid all learning
march ON.
This, I think, Is a clear cut statement o
the case. Every intelligent man can choos
among these three positions. But the thir'
IL the coming one for intelligent Christ
ians. II Is alike sound and safe.

was sad one. II was the call Of help
less young wife, who had been beaten and
driven from home, for help. She is the
wife OF Albert Bryant, Of No. 0 Quinby
street, who is an itinerant bartender, not
staying at any place long, from the simple
fact he gets too drunk to attend TO bust
ness. The little woman stated over the
wire that her husband had come home
drunk, and rs usual in his beastly and
oowardly way began an attack upon her.
She had fed from the house and made her
way TO the telephone and wanted an OFF,
Ger sent out 10 arrest her husband and lock
him up 30 that she could return home.
Bryant Is now under bond before Squire
Barry for the same oaense. The case was
TO have come up last Monday, but his wife
was too sick TO appear. An officer was
sent out for the drunken man. What this
city needs is whipping post for drunken
