Science and the Bible.

At the session OF the general assembly
OF the Southern Presbyterian church ct
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 writingD in which he
supported the idea OF evolution, and said
He had been charged with subordinating
the Scriptures to science. This was not
true. He had never spoken or written
word which could bear any such construc-
ton. He had never taught a word that
would throw n doubt upon the headship oil
Adam, without regard to the manner IN
which. or the material OF whichGod formed
his body. He believed Adam was a miracu-
lous creation. he held all his beliefs to the
teaching OF the Holy Scriptures and to
nothing else. So he holds his opinion as 70
the formation OF Adams body. Upon any
subject OF which the Scriptures are silent
he accents natural history as his
guide. tut only on such subjects AS
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 il his teachings conflict with
the Scriptures, and II they do not then
the case must end. he quoted from Pad.
dington, Brown and Others their views oil
the dust OF which man WAS formed, mean
ing dust from which, through steps from
one stage to another man came to have
dominion over all other hvlng
creatures. 1t made no difference
whether the formation OF Adams
body was mediate or immediate. he was
made living soul, and God made cove
nant with him. The presbytery of Augusta
could not find conviction against the
speakers belief for he had not antagonized
the Bible. He had not taught that God
had performed his works supernaturally.
That will have TO be determined by each
individual mind. lie believed that God
formed man out OF the dust OF the ground,
and yet he WAS charged nth teaching con-
trary to the Bible and the standards be-
cause he went beyond and believed be,
yond what was not contained in them or
upon.which they were silent. To sustain
the synod OF Georgia would be to condemn
all who believe there may be some truth in
evolution 1t was a Tact that the church
had new err failed in deciding on science to
decide wrong.
Rev. William Adams OF Augusta, the
prosecutor, followed in defense of the act
ion OF the Georgia synod in suspending Mr..
Woodrow lie 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
now and forever.

Farmers Opposed to Trusts

The farmers mass convention Mt Fargo,
u. Il, recommended the formation of
farmers county alliances and the building
OF farm storage elevators, which they
claim will save the farmers from l6 to 20
cents per bushel. An adjournment was
had to Casselton, June ID. when President
Loucks will be on hand TO discuss the
Scandinavian Elevator company. In ad.
dition to these recommendations the con-
yention adopted these resolutions:
That in our judgment it is the duty Of
congress tn appoint special committee
OF inyestiga ton with full powers to com.
pei any and all persons with books pa
pers, ETC., to appear before them, who are
in any way officially connected with the
formation or direction Of any trust or
combination whatsoever, that has for it's
object the increasing Of price of any article
OF commerce or trade above the
price OF the same with open COM
petition in u free market or by any com.
bination whatsoever to decrease the mar
ket value OF any article OF farm produce
below the price paid for the same in the
open markets Of the world That when il
is clearly proven that such trusts exist it
should be the duty OF congress. il a tariff
tax protects the manufacture OF
such articles, to put the Same
on the free list. That the Ter

the upbuilding. protecting elevating and
deien ding OF all theinterests OF the ia rmers
whether territorial or rational. at least
are entitled to our thanks for the deter.
mined Efforts they are making in battling
against monopoly and trusts that have
for their objects the destruction o. Tree
competition and free market. That il
is the duty OF all farmers to unite with
and help support the organization known
as the Farmers alliance.

Christi n9stide.

Miss Carrie Bard snwesrper gave a
Christmas tree entertainment, to her
scholars on Christmas Eve. The little
ones and their parents assembled at
the railroad depot, and at Z O'Clock
marched en- masse to Urquhar, Hall,
where the Christmas tree, brilliantly
Illuminated. and laden with glittering
presents, had previously been pre-.
pared.
Each little one received a present,
and each evinced great delight in its
possession. Toddlers scarce able to
walk would embrace aud caress their
dolls, and the larger ones, while not
quite so demonstrative, could not con.
ceal their pleasure Oh being summoned
forward.
Miss Bardenwerper's scholars pro-
sented their teacher with a handsome
gold thimblc, and that young lady also
received from Mr.. and Mrs X. j. Laws
beautiful gold watch and fob. The
cases are exclusively chased. and the
name Carrie engraved thereon.
After the presents had beca distrib.
uted the little folks scattered about
the hall sud compared notes, while the
elders exchanged the compliments Of
the season. All were pleased and all
agreed that Miss Carries Christmas
tree was grand success.
