Bright, jaunty. gay, he spurs his gray
And heads our van to Selma.
Down, down the pike to Selma,
Our charge sweeps on to Selma
Mad shells now fly and soldiers die;
Red is the road TO Selma.
But Forrest Is in Selma,
Fierce Forrest is in Selma;
Ills victory where'er he be.
And hope is high in Selma.
Still wilson leads to Selma,
He cheers US on to Selma;
The gray is down and Wilson's down.
Yet waves US on to Selma.
A cheer goes up from Selma,
AT Wilson's fall at Selma;
He mounts again and spurs again
His bloody gray toward Selma
Up to the gates OF Selma,
On through the gates Of selnal
Our steel meets steel. the foemen wheel
And wilson sweeps through Selmsi
and Forrest fees from Selma
All bleeding fees from Selma
While Wilson's fame and Wilson's name
Are writ IN fame at Selma.

." the vital force raises so many new diff
culties that are not raised by the mechani-

a most striking way by the imperfectness
Of the adaptations.
However, Mr. Thompson himself admits
his reading Of evolution is not new, for
he says
The theory that mind instead Of neces-
sity or chance was the arranging and har-
monizing force Of the universe dates back
to a Greek, Anaxagoras (5O0-42S B. c..

Mr.. Thompson calls Il " new reading Of

so-called new thought is new II is merely
an exposition OF the ages old theory OF an
intelligence in nature - the theory that
everything was created for q conscious

Does the horse not believe the paper is
alive? Man in his primitive stage ascribed
the moving OF the leaves. the flowing OF

thunder and the fash OF lightning TO IN

eft he thought they would do 10 him. Here
clearly was firm belief in intelligence and
purpose in nature
Science has shown the physical causes OF
many OF these phenomena. The scientific
method Is 10 seek for physical causes rather
than to be content with the primitive as
sumption that these causes are superphys-

Irresistible tendency 10 ascribe a super

It is well known that science has not yet
