THE CREATION.
GEOLOGY VS.. GENESIS.

"The geological sketch given in the
editorial columns of the last issue Of
the Blade was exceedingly interesting,
but in attempting to furnish an esti-
mate of the comparative ages of the
different strata were you not assuming
much, proving but little, and is it pos
sible that geology can by any system
of Interpretation, prove that the earth
was not the result of creation,-i e., the
work of god?"
The foregoing timely and important
criticism has been received by the
Blade. The writer especially requests
that the communication be not pub
lished and that his name be withheld.
The letter contained nothing that
could not have been printed with ex-
treme propriety but in Difference to
the wishes expressed we simply use
the above quotation because of it's inn
portant bearing upon the line Of stud
les to be taught by the Correspondence
School, and for the further reason
that we desire to make full and COM
plete answer thereto.

BLUE GRASS BLADE.

When we consider the very necessity
of such an organization, from a theo-
logical point Of view, we at once dis
cover that theology is compelled to
organize for purpose of self defense
which is victory for evolution in
every sense Of the term. During the
hey-day of its power theology COM
PEELED the worlds thinkers to organize
for self-protection. Now the shoe is
on the other foot. Let us continue to
press the foes of human freedom.
Let us aid in the fight for intellectual
liberty and keep the bats and owls of
theology on the run.

BIBLE REVISION.

This splendid pamphlet by Mrs.
Henry must be widely distributed. 1t
is to admit Of this that we have pub
lished it in pamphlet form. So many
favorable comments have been made
upon the article and after one friend
had bought the remaining copies of
that issue of the Blade, others volun-
teered to do so. This is an evidence of
it's popularity. The pamphlet is ten
cents a copy. For one dollar we will
send twelve copies to any address. 1t
is invaluable and quite handy to give
away The pamphlet is calculated to
open the eyes of Christians and ex-
pose many absurdities of the bible.

TACTICS REVERSED.

In spite Of the oft-repeated asser-
ton that science and evolution are in
perfect harmony with the theological
conceptions of the universe, it is OBJ
served that the defenders of theology
in Germany, those who claim to be
scientists and teach science only for
the purpose Of presenting unsupported
harmony" have at least effected an
organization for the purpose of oppos-
ing and resisting the views of Prof
Ernst Haeckel. AS the latter is the
principal authority upon evolution and
it's chief exponent, it is an anachron-
ism to state that any degree of har-
mony can be found between religious
dogma and scientific evolution.
The outcome, that is, the organiza-
ton of the new society, has a deeper
underlying motive than appears upon
the surface, and one of it's supporters
has unwittingly betrayed the cause by
asserting that it is the result of an
Outraged theological conscience in
Germany. Nothing further than such
a. statement is needed. An outraged
theological conscience is liable to
break loose in any form and at any
time and in any place. AS the stamp
is thus placed upon the purpose of the
society we now know that it is to
teach theology, to appease the out
ragged theological conscience and to
destroy evolution along with it. The
society must fail. Facts are facts and
facts cannot be destroyed. Once fact
is demonstrated it becomes a known
truth for all time to come. Evolution
is based on demonstrated fact, j. e.,
known truth. Theology is built upon
speculation and assumption, magma
ton and the unreal. That the organi-
cation should be warmly welcomed"
by the religious papers, as the dis
patches state, is an evidence that it
must die aborning and will scarcely
live long enough to get beyond mere
name. On the other hand, Prof.
Haeckel, the alter ego Of Charles
Darwin, will stand triumphant in all
the ages to come and evolution is
bound to push theology to the wall.

What the Ohioan meant by his ref.
erence to women we are at a loss to
conceive. 1t occupies no place in
moral ethics, but we opine, that being
a bachelor, at some stage of his career
he was deceived by some woman, per-
haps thrown down, Tilted, and he con-
ceived dislike for the sex thereby.
Be that as it may he is entitled to his
own opinion and his superb courage
in thus facing an intolerant orthodoxy
is to be highly commended.

UANNASoOOo eh"o SNOiOSy uOOo hOC anu
cannot harmonic with genesis The
student of geology soon learns that
special creation is a dream, god
myth, and that the universe is the all
in all, containing within itself all phe-
nOmena, all that ever was is now or
ever will be. Genesis brings the earth
just as it is now and in it's present
shape and conformation, with mount
ain and plain, with sea and dry land,
with flora and fauna, into immediate
existence at the mere fat of some i'm
ainary god. Geology reveals the
earth s history in minute detail, with
all its changing forms and conditions,
and proves it to be the result of
growth, change and development, each
advancing stage wrought by the OPP
GRAFTON OF purely natural law from
which there was no possible escape
Once this idea has been thoroughly
grasped and is understood the geolo-
gist pursues his inquiry without any
handicap, unhindered by special be-
liefs or theories. The best, and per-
haps the most satisfactory course to
pursue would be to offer brief out
line of the practical results of geologi-
cal research for then the reader will
be able to make a comparison between
the records of geology and genesis and
can better form an intelligent opinion
upon the subject.
Regarding the origin of the earth
and the earliest stages of its great his
tory, very little direct evidence can be
obtained from geology. For that we
must look to astronomical research,
and this, combined with study of
the earth's structure, will furnish
abundant proof against the creative
theory. From the researches that have
been made regarding the constitution
of the sun and the other planets en-
braced in what we term the So
lar System the sun and the earth
together with the other solar
bodies at one time, formed one vast
Nebulae, or cloudy mass of
molten, liquifed matter, and that the
earth and the other planetary bodies
that revOlve around the sun have, one
after another, become detached from
the Nebulae, of which the sun is now
the remaining central mass. When the
earth quilted it's parent sun and be-
came an independent body, it must
have been an intensely hot mass, as the
sun is still. Not until long ages had
passed over the earth and innumerable
changes had taken place followed by
the formation of an outer crust,
through a cooling process, could any
specie of rock be formed, hence, while
geological research carries us vast
distance back, in the remote past, it

YOU'RETOO THIN.

IFS Stomach Clzta17H

Some people are thin and always re-
main thin, from temperaInental rea-
sons. Probably in such cases nothing
can be done to change this personal
popularity.
But there are large number of peo-
pie who get thin, or remain thin, who
naturally would be plump and fieshy
but for some digestive arrangement.
Thin people lack in adipose tissue.
Adipose tissue is chiefly composed OF
fat.
Fat is derived from the oily constit-
uents of food.
The fat-making foods are called by
The Psychologist, hydrocar bons. This
Glass of foods are not digested in the
stomach at all. They are digested in
The duodenum, the division of the ali
nentary canal just below the stomach.
The digestion of fat is mainly, if not
wholly, the work Of the pancreatic
Iuicc. This juice is of alkaline reac-
ton, and is rendered inert by the addi-
ton of acid. A hyperacidity Of the
digestive fluids of the stomach passing
down into the duodenum, destroys
the pancreatic fluid for digestive pur-
poses. Therefore, the fats are not di-
gested or emulsified, and the system Is
deprived of its due proportion Of oily
constituents. Hence, the patient grows
thin.
The beginning of the trouble is ca
tarrhal condition of the stomach which
causes hyperacidity of the gastric
juices. This hyperacidity is caused by
fermentation of food in the stomach.
When the food is taken into the stom-
ach, if the process of digestion does
not begin Immediately, acid fermenta-
ton will take place. This creates
hyperacidity of the stomach juices
which in their turn prevent the PAN
create digestion of the oils, and the
emaciation results.
A dose Of Peruna before each meal
hastens the stomach digestion. By
hurrying digestion, Peruna prevents
fermentation of the contents of the
stomach, and the pancreatic juicei thus
preserved in its normal state. 1t then
only remains for the patient to eata
sufficient amount of fat-forming foods,
and the thinness disappears and plump
ness takes its place.

STRUCK BY
LIGHTNING

This morning, about 1:3O O'Clock,
just before the rain storm broke over
the city and following n number of
loud rumbIings of thunder, there was
II terrific crash of thumb rbOlts and
IA dazzling flash of lightning, and
when the shock had passed it was
found that a great tree on Seventh
street, near the corner of White ave-
nue. and just in front of the residence
of NJ. II. LOeffler had been struck by
the lightning.
The big tree was badly torn up,
and large splinters were scattered
all around, some of them bcing
thrown nearly II block distant.
Fortunately, no one was near the
tree when the shock came. The tree
is probably killed.

1t was 3 O'Clock this morning when
the special train carrying the big
Grand Junction delegation of the
knights of Pythias and their friends
returned to the city from Delta, at
which place the first meeting of the
Western Slope convention of Knights
of Pythias was held yesterday.
The day was an exceedingly pleas
ant one for the big crowd from this
city, as we'll as for the delegations
from Montrose, Hotchkiss, Paonia
and other points. From noon on
there was much doing IN the pretty
little city of Delta, ana the Delta
Lodge of Pythians entertained the
several hundred visitors in a most
delightful manner.
The sessions of the convention,
held in the afternoon and presided
over by Hon. Ira Mcneil of Mont
rose were lively, harmonious, busy
and filled with actions that will
prove of great benefit to the lodges
of western Colorado.
When it came to selecting place
for the next meeting, which will be
held in February, 1909, Grand June
tion's claims were presented by Jas.
