crumble In the bust OF oblivion. Icono-
clasm is an applicable term to other
sciences than theology.
All sciences of whatever class, sect or
school have their scylla and charybdis.
Every enthusiastic Napoleon advocate of
any science Is almost sure TO meet his
Wellington. To return, Ida says: And
wonders that the study OF the earth did
not show me that 1 may be finite"
may have wondered" that, but what
"said" you'll find near the head of this
article. To me, in my humble way. il has
always been philosophical impossibility
to comprehend the endless variety and
complexity of my beloved creator. and
foolishly mistaken, as l often am, I'd
dared to presume that "there might be
others in the same boat" Thanks Ida,
/ stand corrected. Will you not kindly
have notice sent out to have
foolish writer's do away with
such nonsensical phrases as "The finite
graphing with the infinite" the gods do
not permit US to know everything" "lst
not God be introduced unless the difficult
~ be worthy of such intervention" ''un-
less the Lord be with US we strive in
vain, those whom God has a mind to
destroy He first deprives OF their senses"
the voice OF the people is the voice Of
God, and I'VE are the people, are We
not. Ida?
Now for sgnosticsm. The doctrine Of
agnostics-th is the belief of those who
deny that we know or can know the Adj
sO.ute, Infinite. or God. The word comes
from Greed" "a" and "gnostikes,"
meaning able TO know. Another autborl-
ty gives this definition: Zone of the
school who disclaim any knowledge
OF God or of the origin of the universe.
How do you stand now Ida? Do YOU
know there is no God that We can't know
God rs g whole? Perhaps should have
said We the people as whole constitute
God? Puiloc!s d Pollock have been argu-
ing this question since boyhood, but have
finally staked out a claim and built a
homo on the command of agree to dis
agree; wouldn't you like 10 run down
during the hot weather, cay in July or
August, and spend few DAYS with Ida?
Our home is on the lake shore, only
few hundred yards from Jackson park.
They are building q corn palace and
George Washington hOnse in the park
And If the report is true there will be
lots of popcorn and peanuts to be had by
merely slipping lead button into the

spend the long forenoon in some cOzy lit
tie gOndOla fishing. and after hearty
noOndav meal Mrs. Grundy, Ida, Miss
