THE GERM THEORY.

been reader for the musical clubs, and
is a member OF the Alpha Tau Omega fra
ternity He discussed his question as fol-
lows
Since Columbus demonstrated that the
world is round and Newton enunciated
the laws OF gravity, there has been no
discovery which has so completely de-
molished previous beliefs and 80 radically
reconstructed our notions regarding the
behavior OF matter as the Germ Theory.
Though still in the first stages OF its de-
velopment. this theory referring all or
ganic changes 20 the activities of micro
organisms, has dispelled the idea Of spon-
taneous generation, has explained decom-
position. has placed on firm basis all

and has revolutionized medical and sur

phase OF practical life in which II does
not play an important part
Bacteria cause milk To sour and give
the delicate aroma 10 butter The germs
OF fermentation and decay are what the
housewife kills by boiling her preserves
and sterilizing her jars. In France the
great silk industry was practically ruined
by an epidemic which swept away all
the silk worms; Louis Pasteur re-estab-
dollars 10 the country by discovering and
subduing the germs which were produc-
ing the pestilence. The whole OF the great
wine and malt industry is based entirely
on chemical decompositions produced by
microscopic plants. Formally heavy losses
were incurred by the uncertain quality OF
the fermentation, but now this difficulty
is avoided by the employment of a bac-

PROPAGANDA FALLAcIEs.

Mr. Thompson then discussed at length
several OF these propagandas and showed
how I'm the light OF the germ theory their
activities far over-reachcd all justihca-
tion. First he showed that the anti-vac-
cination propaganda was groundless since
by antiseptic vaccination no germs could
be inoculated into the system hence no
disease could result: second, that the
knowledge gained through viviseCtion
saves annually thousands OF human lives
and any curtailment Of the practice would
be at corresponding cost TO Immunity.
and finally. that osteopathy and Chris
tian Science far overreach their sphere
when they undertake 90 treat purely bac-

In concluding he said.
These few Illustrations will suffice 20
show how superficial and fallacions are

and investigate.
From fifty 20 a hundred years ago many
OF the students were even infidels. Since
that time, however. positive inhdelity
has declined, and at present the honest
but unhappy doubter typifies the average
college student
The causes OF this prevailing doubt are
inherent in our present academic organi-
zation. The expansion OF the student
mind unsettles his early faith. He has
been educated 10 hold certain tenets. the
grounds for which he has never question
ed or Investigated.
AS he enters college he is transported
from his old world OF faith into a new

TO investigate for HIMSELF He observes

faith Is shattered.
Finally he comes to know the breadth
of truth and 20 reject dogma as the ut

GENERAL AND LOCAL CAUSES.
In addition TO the general causes OF
skepticism there are In many colleges
other local causes none the less i'm
portant. The first OF these is the compul-
sorry chapel service where a vain attempt
is made TO create artilcially religious
atmosphere These devotions are me

are hollow and spiritless. instead Of an
