a BRIEF INTERVIEW.
An Old Doctors Answer TO n Young
Atheists Boast

An Ola DOCTORS AnaWcr TO u Young
Atheists Boast
A young New England collegian, hav-
ing finished his college course and
spent four years in study in Germany.
came back lately 20 his native village
with lofty contempt for its old-fash-
Toned habit OF thought: contempt
which he did not hesitate TO express
quite frankly.
On Sunday morning he leaned over
the gate in the shade, watching the
neighbors going 10 church. When the
old physician OF the village came up,
the young man called TO him:
"Hello doctorl Is il possible you are
still going through the same old rou-
tine of religious formalism2"
We'll, yes, Jack" the doctor said,
choerfully. "Same old prayers, same
old Bible. They agree with man at
the end of life. infer FROM your ques-
ton that they don't agree with you,''
looking at him lSccnly.
IL don't agree with Them" said Jack,
haughtily. There are too many inn
portant matters in life for me to spend
my time trying to find Christ Us the
phrase is"
"What important matters?"
Science, for one. That is fact. !
can grasp that, Reform in politics;
the bctterment of the lower classes.
These are real things. My generation
wants real things. They are not suf-
iicicntly credulous TO accept n God
whom they cannot see nor hear. They
devote themselves 20 science, TO char
table works. They have buried this
old-time idea Of God out of sight"
The doctor nodded. 81 see" he sadi,
gravely. "And yet-science is but a
cropping effort TO understand His laws,
and there is not charitable or noble
thought which can come into any oil
your heads which had not its origin in
the old Bible. DO you remember the
Indian fable OF the ant, Jack?"
"No What is it?" answered Jack,
smiling indulgently.
"The ant. coming out OF the ground
for the first time, found fault with the
sun. Why was it 40 hot here and cool
yonder? The glare was intolcrable;
some leaves were parched by 1t. !

"The trees explained 10 tho ant that
the sun brought life to the whole world
now that winter was over. 1T IN a
big world they caid. 1t extends out
side OF this garden!'
"But the ant snid: The sun does not
explain himself TO me. II ne will not
Justify himself 20 me, / will bury hini
out OF sight
80 the ant crept into his inch-deep
hole, and worked there in the dark for
day or two, and then lay dead, while
the sun went on shining"
Jack forced a smile. ~ suspect, doc.
tor, that you invented the fable. It's
simply q repetition of the same old
story"
