Evolution and Moral Freedom.

whenever we have great spiritual
initiative there the theory of natural
evolution must retire." says Dr. p. r
Forsythe in the London Quarterly Re
view, The tendency indeed of evolu.
ton, he AYERS, is to crush out that mi.
tiative and to suppress forever the in.
dividual which for n it evoked.
Its failure in this respect is one of the
reasons why it is an unsatisfactory sol.
vent of the worlds mystery. The iut
tiative he refers to takes the form Of
sudden appearances of we'll developed
variations in the moral and spiritual
world. To quote;
l allude, for instance, to the emergence.
at very early and immature stages, Of
men uniquely endowed. who carry genius
to a pitch which all after ages can but
submit to admire afar. Homer, Virgil and
Dante, to say nothing Of the Bible writ
ers, may AVE appeared on the summit OF
particular civilizations, but they belong to
the race more than to epochs. nations or
civilizations, and in the history of the
race they appeared early and not late.
Great men are not made by their milieu.
which gives them no more than a field
and form. 1t provides them a language, 1t
offers them their problems and presents
them the issues. But the answers are
latent in the miraculous quality of their
native genius and not inhaled by them
from the spirit of their age. They are
not orators who absorb a vapor and give
1T forth as a flood. They are prophets
whose spiritua! quality is an original but
rational mystery and whose revelation is
as secret in its source as 1t is fertile in
its course.
Moral freedom. the writer asserts, ls
impossible on a theory of natural Sc
lection, and with moral freedom wan
ishes the initiative which is the real
spring of human progress and the real
condition Of glory"

Our High Human Standard.

The superiority Of this country oven
other nations is attributed to the quail.
ity Of its people by Pierre Leroy-Beau-
Lieu, whose recent study, entitled The
United States In the Twentieth Centri
~" has been translated by H Adding.
ton Bruce. To quote:
From the days OF the pilgrim fathers,
who expatriated themselves in order that
they might establish on the rude shores
OF Massachusetts a government resting ON
the principles they derived from the Bible
from their Gays to the da"s of the mod,
ern immigrants, twenty millions OF whom
have settled In the United States durins
the past s~eventy-five years-the Ameri.
cans have been the product of selectioB
and of a double selection. Only the bold,
est, the most enterprising OF men have
the courage to traverse the sea for the
purpose of carving out a new life in an
unknown and distant land. Then, having
arrived, only the most energetic, the
wisest and most gifted Il. the spirit OF
organization, succeed in a struggle which
is more severe, more merciless to the
feeble. in new countries than in old oneS
Thus America. so to speak, has secured
the cream of old world society. That
is why the human standard is higher
there than In other countries.
This writer thinks that the native
element has all along been able to in
spire the vast body of newcomers with
the spirit of the early colonists. from
whom it inherits its own traditions
and ideals. This has been done the
more readily because immigration has
been largely of the same nationality as
the original settlers or at least OF
strains of blood and culture readily
assimilable. In Il word. the subStratum
of our population everywhere is of ma.
tive American stock and Americanized
sons and grandsons of Immigrants.

buried in the tombs of their own
building.
Walking back toward the big
buildings, saw the smoke issuing
from the windows of the Call or the
Examiner building, do not know
which. Then the flames began to
leap out, and other buildings began
to smoke. simply stood there and
gazed. l was stupefied beyond my
power to express.
II heard that lot of fire horses
had been buried at the fire barn.
So l went over there, and saw them
taking out the body of Fire Chief
Sullivan's wife. She had been killed
instantly. He was still alive, but he
died very soon after hearing that his
wife was dead. AS l stood there I
saw the head of a white horse in the
ruins. The body was buried. The
horse looked at me with such a pitt
full, pleading gaze that cried out
loud and ran away as fast as / could.
1.-THE robbing of the dead before
the arrival of the soldiers was awful.
Men were cutting the fingers of the
corpses off for the rings they con-
tanned. They were stealing cloth
ing, shoes and everything movable.
But when the troops got there they
shot dead on the spot every one
caught in the act. 1t did my heart
good to see how they treated these
ghouls. -
II finally got to work, and ordered
a gang of Chinese to work. They re-
fused, and I told the soldiers. They
ordered them to work and shot seven
of them for refusing. Their bodies
were thrown in big crack in the
ground with a lot of horses. The
others went to work.
II believe that the shooting of Ma
jor Tilden was more or less justi-
