SCIENCE AND FAITH

Is 1t true that the greater the knowledge tho
less the religious interest? Are these two persons
the man whose zeal for religion is equaled by his
bigotry and ignorance and the other in whom sci
entc study has dwarfed spiritual sensibility fair
types by which to judge the relations Of religion
and knowledge?
Is intelligence incompatible with real piety !!
Will the growth OF knowledge bring about the dis
solution of religion? Is the life of religious aspi
rations and feelings out of date in scientific age

We can be sure of one thing. at least; t.sst no
matter what our feelings. theories or idea. may
be. we cannot turn our backs on the great world
of fact 1t is laid before The faith that fGhts
facts Is committing suicide Appeals to our fears
cannot to-day make the facts less real to " and
we know that by them will have to stand or
fall
II you stop to think about it, there is a striking
significance in the fact that this question haa
arisen Is there religion for the intelligent edu-
Gated, scientific mind? 1t suggests another oue,-
ton: Can any other mind fully comprehend the
riches and meaning of religion? The unthinkinz
cling to customs traditions and forms that are the
vestiges of truth. The trained mind DISTINGUISHES
between the garments of truth and ruth ITSELF

1t is because of this sincere desire to be of help
to his church that Mr.. Schwarz has labored with
his hands and brain to build the new church. II

able difficulties Not only the cornerstone, but
every stone in 1t was refused by the builders
but when 1t is finished there will be fault found
with its smooth. gray walls. its modern equipment
and its generous dimensions.
In connection with his pastoral and building
work Rev. Mr.. Schwarz devotes nine hours q

and the compensation received from this additional
work he considers providentia in that it helps to
secure him sufficient salary to bring his work to
a selfsupporting basis.
Rev. Schwarz' father was practicing physician
in Franklin county. Mo- He hailed from Heidel-
berg. Baden. Germany.
Rev. Schwarz was left an orphan at the axe
of IL months. He was taken into the home Of a
kind-hearted couple who had already raised eight
children of their own.
As tribute to the memory of his foster par.
ents and as token of appreciation of the kind
ness received at their hands. the church parsonage
has been turned into q sort of home for the
friendless and a refuge for the destitute. Many
have partaken of the parsons hospitality until
work or other assistance had been offered Should
this sort Of hospitality require more space, 1t 10
possible that an old peoples home may be estab-
lished after the financial obligations of the new
church edifice have been met.

tributed far beyond what might be expected from
their means Mr.. Schwarz made housetohouse

raised $500 in that way. One of the church trus-
tees. who declared when the project was begun
that he would not do anything to aid 1t. has al
ready given 500. and others have given 800 and
$500 contributions. Churches have promised
contributions that will probably average $25 each
and several hundred dollars more is expected
from that source.

says the minister and he seems not to lack faith
that the $1,000 will come as 1t is needed

ceved has had no little part in helping along the
good work Rev. Schwarz has announced that all
outside contributions will be gratefully received
and promptly acknowledged.
The biggest addition to the fund that has
come SO far was the $500 got from selling the
old parsonage. which the pastor advised as soon
as he saw the possibility of making a home for

All winter long he has been haunting the repar

Junk heaps and adding to the pile of materials

One Of his biggest and most profitable finds was

he bought from the street railway company for
