ALI Operations of Nature Uniform. No
Whims or Caprices. The Conflict
Between Theology end
Evolution.
(By A. A. SNOWY

In Dennis Leahy's criticism in the Blade
of September IL, of DR.. Hausman's writ
ings he seems to admit that Evolution has
power of development of animals and
plants whose organization has been com
menced by some power different from Evo-
luton. But what that power is he does
not so much as suggest. He calls for proof
that life began in a single cell. Now the
question seems to turn on this proposition:
Is Evolution universal vital organizer?
That is, Has all vital organization been
brought about by Evolution? And if so
organized life must have either begun in
the single cell or in some form even lower
than the simple sell, soon to have passed
through it, for the cell is the lowest ele-
ment Of organization we can find. So,
for all practical purposes, we can say or
ganization began there. That is we can
say it by assuming that Evolution is the
universal organizer. And so the question
turns on that proposition. = admitting
that Evolution is an organizer d, all how
can we escape the conclusion that Il is the
universal or only organizer? Especially so
in view Of the fact that we are destitute of
any proof of there being any other organ
izer? A party for the first time in their
lives pass through a wheat growing coun-
try, and they see men threshing, and a
large straw stack constantly becoming
larger by straw falling upon it; and one
asks; Chow did that straw pile get there?"
Blue-grass blade., 1909-10-31
Evolution Complete Organizer

"Why," says one, call by falling from
that straw carrier as you see it now doing"
"But," says the objector, "We only see
it increasing in size that way, we don t see
its beginning Now that obiector is
Brother Leahy.
From thirty-fve to fifty years ago when
scientists were first forced to admit that
Evolution was an organizer there was a
great cutlery in behalf of religion. 1t
seemed that there was not room for the new
science and religion to both exist. Re-
luctantly and slowly the scientists came
to acknowledge that Evolution was surely
an organizer, but in Difference to theology
some of them took the position that Brother
Leahy takes viz; Evolution might not be
the whole organizer Some other law might
exist quite different from Evolution, prob
ably spiritual in its nature, having the
power of starting the organisms. / remem-
Der Professor J. w. Dawson, thirty-fve
years ago, took such a position but con-
tended that such law, if it exists, ought
to be in operation now and all down the
ages. He admitted that it had never vet
been discovered but trusted it soon would
be- He stated that many learned scientists
were eagerly searching for the missing law
and he trusted that it would be revealed,
perhaps within a decade or two Years
since passed on the evidence of the work
Of Evolution has been piling up while its
missing helpmate remains silent as a myth.
The operations of nature are uniform.
There are no whims or caprices in her
methods Of procedure. When Isaac New
ton discovered the law of gravitation he
settled the question for all time and places.
In vain might some theologian or Leahy

now, it might not have been so from the
beginning that at the formation of the
earth and planets the material might have
been brought together by some law other
than gravital attraction, that the gods
surely had to have some employment some
where. When the law of Evolution as a
vital organizer was discovered ii settled the
question of the generation of organized life
universally and for all time Let us for a
moment assume any other hypothesis.
Granting that Evolution is responsible
for the finishing up of organisms, for the
latter additions of the structure, What
could be the nature of the law or operation
that began the structure? If it was not
Evolution what was it and how did it
behave? 1t could not have done its organ
izing gradually, for that would be Evolu-
ton "a development from the single cell
up. Organisms could not have eternally
existed, such a hypothesis is refuted by
paleontology, as incomplete as it may be.
There remains but one more possible hypo-
thesis and that is ;-That organisms, and
very complicated ones too, must have sud-
denly sprang into existence, contrary to
any knOWH ldWS. TUT n IuuiHHdi
for the first time in history is suddenly
to make its appearance on the globe. The
various elements to form its body must
come from their different points on the
earth; carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, phos-
phorus. etc. must all start on their journey
together as a great army OF soldiers
mustered for battle. Some of these ele-
ments must come for miles contrary to the
laws of chemistry, contrary to the laws of
attraction of gravitation, contrary to the
laws of inertia and contrary to the resist
ance of the air, water and other elements.
And here we are only at the beginning of
the absurdities involved in this last and
only other hypothesis. Not only would this
law of primitive organization suspend the
operation of other laws of nature but also
do so during the different periods of the
worlds history. No escape can be had
from this alleged chaotic condition OF
natures laws by referring the operation to
a hypothetical beginning; for the myriads
of species of animals and plants have made
their appearance on the globe not in a
down the past ages as is proved by geology.
Does Brother Leahy really and earnestly
believe, or have any grounds whatever, to
conjecture that there exists at any place
in the Universe any law that will not only
suddenly invent but cause just the right
kinds of material to come forth from the
four winds Of the Universe and arrange
themselves into fully developed animal
never before known; and that this is liable
to take place at any time now, or at any
time or all times in the future, and has

An Ancient Pastime
Golf was invented so long ago that
golfers are always looking for the
rules in the Old Testament. Much
that sounds like profanity is really
due to this error. Somehow they
learned about the game in Scotland;
probably a returned traveller told his
friends they couldn't hit the ball. That
settled it! If you tell a Scotchman he
can't do a certain thing, he'll leave
his oatmeal and do it, or never come
back. But, anyway, the Scotchmen
developed the game from the "main
strength" stage into a science; and
still they hold the cup! 1t really seems
as though golf balls understood only
the Scotch dialect; swear at 'em in
pure English and they nestle deeper
in the sand; say "Hoot!" and they
sneak for the putting green!

are very carefully made and inspected,
the whole aim being to secure accurate
flight and high resiliency. There are
many styles of clubs, each for an es-
pecial purpose, and all inclined to act
better if called by their correct Scotch
names. The course is made up of a
series of eighteen fair green's" each
beginning with a tee" where the first
drive is made, and ending with a put
ting green" Don't pronounce that
last as it looks or you can't come into
the club. Nesting modestly in the
center of the putting green a cup, it's
edges sunk to the level of the green.
AS every one knows, the game lies in
driving the ball from tee to cup in the
least possible number of strokes. Yet
you must not touch the ball with your
hand, if any ones looking.
Simple? Try it! Your ball is over
three feet away from your hand; the
head of your club is pitifully small;
all the play of wrist and arm and
shoulder, all the looseness of joint and
flexity of muscle that is in you con-
spire to bring your club head down
just little away from the imaginary

walls-only field and forest and
stream. Club in hand, he fixes his
gaze upon the distant slope; he shut
fies little, placing his feet carefully;
he looks at his hands, observes the
turn of his wrists, makes a thought
full preparatory swing; then he meas
ures the distance again. At the last,
tense, concentrated, he looks down at
the ball; he prays silently that he
be guarded from the temptation of
looking away from it, for If he does
well. it isn't a pleasant thing to talk
about. Eyes glued, wrists pretending
they are steel, shoulders heaving with
desire-swat! Where is the thing
just under the left foot or over the
hill?
Dooley says that you are first to
make a little sand tee" then place
your ball on it, then spit on your
hands and swipe it. If you find the
ball again you've won the game!

Two Scotchmen were competing for
a prize. For seventeen holes they
drove and lofted and putted in silence.
The afternoon wore away, the end of
the match approached. They had al
most forgotten their native tongue.
Finally Macdonald stopped for his
final putt-the deciding shot of the
game. He missed.

The Annandale Country club is
beautifully situated on San Raael
Heights, close to the finest residential
section of Pasadena. The course takes
advantage of a splendid moor, rami-
flying into three canyons among the
foothills of the Sierra Madre range,
and includes 10 acres. Perhaps no
course on this side of the Atlantic has
greater scenic attractiveness. The

l" HATEVER motives lay behind

Country club-whether it was
born of ideals social or purely athletic
it was a fortunate addition to the at
fractions of Southern California. Peo-
pie must be amused, interested, bene-
fitted, and golf does all this for the play
err and more. From a social point of
view the country club has all the ad-
vantages of clubs in general, with
many especial superiorities. From a
moral standpoint, while golf may en-
courage profanity, it certainly discour-
ages those physical conditions which
are responsible for so much crime and
unloveliness of spirit. A liver rejuve-
mated is a soul saved.
Just above Eagle Rock, in the out
skirts of Pasadena, scores of men and
teams have been at work digging,

import the game from Holland. Else

game must white the country into

you are perfectly splendid at bridge
whist, and your wife is sure that
you'll beat Smith from the moment
that you begin to play the game. But
alas, there are no natural golfers, or
none to speak of; golf is an acquired
thing-like Christian conduct!
There are fixed rules of etiquette
and custom-all designed to leave the
player alone with his sorrows. 1t is
a competition of concentration; don't
talk, don't move don't clear your
throat, avoid breathing if possible
when Smith stands before his ball. If
you do, of course Smith won't murde'

Fifteen years ago you could count
the western links on the fingers of one
hand; there were only a bare half
dozen west of the Alleghenies and
none west of the Mississippi. Now
they are so thick that the crop of tim
othy and alfalfa is seriously shortened
and the doctors are desperate for in

play golf the doctors starve to death!
Nonsense aside, no game offers
more wholesome exercise, with so little
incentive to over-eXercise. A forced
shot, with the larger muscles behind
it, is apt to destroy the turf without
the turf by hairs breadth.
Moderate force, with much skillful-
ness and self-control-these are the
requisites.
Coatless, care-free, the player walks
over hill and down dale, forgetting
that he walks, ignoring the fact that
the rent is due, eager only for the next
shot. Above him no decorated ceiling
