We go back to the cage of Senior Lopez, who has

THAT famous philosopher, Wheweii'
 in the "Bridgewater Treatise has
 \ the following thoughtful sentence; But with regard to the natural Worlu' we can at least go so far as this-we can perceive that events are brought about not by insulated interpretations of divine power exerted in each particular case, but by the establishment of general laws"
 In his immortal work, the Analogy Bishop Butler says: "The only distinct meaning of the word natural is stated fixed or settled; since what is natural as much requires and presupposes an in telligent agent to render it so, l. e., to effect it continually, or at stated times, as what is supernatural or miraculous does to effect it for once."
 In his celebrated work on ''fhe Ad- vancement of Learning" Lord Bacon says: '"To conclude, therefore, let no man, out of a weak conceiL of sobrlety, or an ill-applied moderation, think or maintain that a man can search too far, or be too well studied in the book of Gods word, or in the book of Gods works, divinity or philosophy, but rather let men endeavor an endless progress or proficience in both.

pepper. This became impregnated with the fat of the varmint, and she stewed 1t to the consistency between soup and gravy after lifting his majesty out of It,
 Now, here was where Aunt Caroline and her lord and master, Uncle Archle' could not agree. The old woman wanted to put him in an oven with sweet taters and brown him. Archie preferred roast ing the taters in the members and barbe- cuing the 'possum before the fire, bathing him every five minutes in the gravy that resulted from his boiling, and finishing off the taters in the oven in which was first poured the gravy. l have tried both. Solomon could not have made Judgment betwixed the different methods of Aunt Car'line and Uncle Archie. Either would cause any common man to swallow his tongue about the middle of the feast
 But that is not all. Man loves bread as well as possum. And now. at Hal loween. is the season of the lordly pumpkin The barbarians of New Eng land degrade this gentleman by turning him into pie. Civilized folk bring him to his legitimate destiny and make him a constituent element of bread When I was boy the forest area of Barren county. Kentucky was perhaps ten times what 1t Is now, and frost, killing frost, was always tardy. and oftimes as late as All Saints Day. Every farmer had his late patch of corn for roasting ears dur ing October. In the last days of that month the corn was in the dough" and when it got little harder it was plucked, shucked and grated, as you would a nut meg on a tin grater big as a full sheet of foolscap paper, pended over a board. Talk about corn meal-thats the stuff: but the season cannot last above two weeks. otherwise we would get too proud to die And it is likely that feeding on such daily, we would not die at all, we would stay so virtuous. Remember Enoch and Elijah.
 Well, there's your meal Now get your pumpkin, not one of those pale, yellow chaps, but one of muddy red, a great big fellow. Take the pulp from the rind and stew 1t to mush. On no account put any sugar in it. Pumpkin pie without sugar is insipid. and with sugar it is abomination. fit only for pagans. Sift your meal, grated meal, new from the cob: put in some cracklings-the pig killed the day before afforded then-and your stewed pumpkin, and make into a mess of a consistency between batter and dough. Now, shovel up the ashes where the hearth joins the fireplace, wipe the sur face clean with a dishrag, put your stun down in copious quantity; lay 1t over with big cabbage leaves, white and crisp; cover with hot embers, and then rake all the live coals in the fireplace on top. When done and served with rich sweet milk. nutty, fresh, and sweet butter, and the loin of a 'possum, the man who has

nature is by no means modern. Aristo- ties work on Natural Philosophy is not much studied nowadays; it is regarded as out of date. Nobody regards the old Greek as an authority on matters Of physics. And yet in a previous article I quoted from his Physical Ausculta- tiones'' passage whipb, by MT. Darwin own candid admiss,S9N shadowed forth the doctrine of Natural Selection more than two thousand years before MT. Dar- win was born.
 When that great philosopher, John Locke, first turned his attention to spec ulations upon psychology he found 1t very dim region, and was obliged to con fess that he found it extremely difficult to reach any well-founded and definite results. xAfter asking himself why this was so, and after seriously pondering over the question, he satisfied himself that the difficulty arose largely from using terms without settling upon any distinct and well-defined meaning.
 The art of defining either words or things is very difficult and until we do define our terms philosophizing is futile. Garrick was not altogether wild when he called a man a fool for looking into the dictionary to settle the meaning or word. 1 once consulted very large and very famous dictionary on the word ''violin," and I learned that 1t was "a stringed instrument of music; see fiddle.
The Birmingham age-herald., 1907-11-24

man who has two seeing eyes and some pounds of brains behind them, is liable to find himself grievousy misled, if he turns his thoughts upon nature" and fails to distinguish a law" from force" Without such a distinction 10 guide him, 1t is quite easy for him to land in blank atheism, and perhaps still easier to stop at the halfway house of panthesm, which is very little better
 Now if the mature" of a thing be the fixed" stated" or settled character of that thing, and if the laws of its ex- istence and of its action be the uniform conditions under which 1t exists or acts, then there Is not only room for d God, but an absolute necessity for Him; for the words fixed" stated settled, as applied to the conditions of existence, or of action, necessarily involve the ex istence of an intelligent agent to fix and settle such conditions. Fixed is the par ticiple of an active, transitive verb; so are stated and settled" and if these words, as applied above, have any intel lgible meaning, they necessitate the ex- istence of a personal agent.
 By ignoring this truth by consistently steering clear of its application to the phenomena with which he was dealing, Charles Darwin, perhaps the greatest observer that ever lived, frequently gets himself and his arguments into a very "slough of despond" He cannot avoid

And why? Not because of his acquaintance with the essence of the projectile force of the powder, nor with the essence of the force of grayitation, nor yet with the CO ordinate result of the action of the two forces combined, but because he can mathematically demonstrate the eondi
 tions under which the combined forces uniformly work, and that demonstration inevitably leads to parabola. With the essence of the forces he is entirely unae- quainted. Sir Isaac Newton did not dem onstrate and did not know what gravta tion- was He discovered the mathemau

such words as adaptation" and use, and such words frequently occur in his "origin of Species" What is this thing for?' "To what end is this part adapt ed?" What is the final course of this other part?' These are questions with which the famous naturalist was forced to deal, and they were questions whose very terms were fatal to some of his pet thaaries.
 1 do not wonder that any candid think CT who had made up his mind that it was impossible to believe that the eye was made to see with and that the produe- tion of beauty was no part of the Crea- tors plan, should admit that the sight of a peacocks tail made him sick! What business had the peacock with so beauti- ful as tail? Where and how did he get 1t? And, above all. what was it for? Or. to use philosophical terms, what was its final cause?
 The theist who believes his Bible has short and easy answers to such ques- tons Nas these, and unless he has spent a good deal of time in studying "eVolu- ton" he will naturally wonder how they can puzzle any human being. But let him attempt to construct a creation without a Creator; to "evolve' laws without Law-givera to discover adaptations that nobody designed. to explain ends which nobody had in view-in a word, to leSis- late God out of His own universe-and
