SCIENCE AND FAITH

Is it true that the greater the knowledge the
less the religious interest? Are these persons,
the man whose zeal for religion is equaled by his
bigotry and ignorance and the other in whom sci
entic study dwarfed spiritual sensibility
types by which to judge the relations of religion
and knowledge?
Is intelligence incompatible with real pety?
Will the growth of knowledge bring about the dis
solution of religion? Is the life of religious asIs
rations and feelings out of date in scientific age
such constantly reminded this IS
to-day? Science has overcome superstition is
faith so bound up with superstition that it, too.
must go?
We be of thing, at least; that, no
matter feelings theories ideals may
be, turn backs the great world
o. it laid before The faith that fights
facts is committing suicide Appeals to fears
cannot to-day make the facts less real to and
we know that by them will have to stand or
fall.
If you stop to think about it, there is striking
Significance in the fact that this question has
arisen. Is religion the intelligent, edu-
Gated, scientific mind? 1t suggests another ques-
ton: Can any other mind fully comprehend the
riches and meaning of religion? The unthinking
cling customs. traditions and forms that the
vestges of truth. The trained mind distinguishes
between the garments of truth and truth itself.

THANKSGIVING DAY
Canada's Day of Thanks Month Ear
Iier Than in the United States

For some reason better known to
the Canadians themselves than to the
people on this side of the line, our
Canadian cousins celebrated their
Thanksgiving a month or more earlier
than we do 1t may be that the Cana
dian turkey had become impatient, and
sounded note of warning, or it may
be that the frost on tn /arapkin" de-
clared itself. But WHAT er the reason,
their Thanksgiving day is past 1t may
nave been that the reasons for giving
thanks so much earlier than we do
were pushing themselves so hard and
SO fast that the Canadians were
ashamed to postpone the event They
have had reasons. and good ones, too,
tor giving thanks. Their great broad
areas of prairie land have yielded in
abundance, and here, by the way, it is
not embarrassing to the friends of
the millions of Americans who have
made their home in Canada during the
past few years to know that they have
participated most generously in the
cutting of the melon Probably the
western portion of Canada, comprising
the provinces of Manitoba, Saskatche-
wan and Alberta, have the greatest
reason of any of the provinces to ex-
press in the most enthusiastic manner
their gratitude. The results in the.
line of production give ample reason
tor devout Thanksgiving to Providence.
This year has surpassed all others in
far as the total increase in the coun-
try'S wealth. is concerned There is no
question that Providence was espe-
cially generous. The weather condi-
lions were perfect, and during the
ripening and harvesting period, there
was nothing to interfere. And now it
was well it was so, for with demand
for labor that could not be supplied.
there was tine greatest danger, but
with suitable weather the garnering of
the grain has been successfully accom-
pIished. There have been low gen.
eral averages, but these are account
ed for by the fact that farmers were
Indifferent, relying altogether upon
what a good soil would do. There
will be no more low averages though,
for this year has shown what good,
careful farming will do. 1t will pro-
duce $50 million bushels of wheat from
seven million acres. and 1T will pro-
ouce a splendid lot of oats, yielding
anywhere from SO to 100 bushels per
acre. This on land that has cost but
from SO to SIS per acre-many farm
ers have realized suffi cient from this
years crop to pay the entire cost of
their farms. The Toronto Globe says:
THE whole population of the West
rejoices in the bounty of Providence,
and sends out a message of gratitude
and appreciation of the favors which
have been bestowed OH the country.
The cheerfulness which has abounded
with industry during the past six
months has not obliterated the concep-
ton of the source from which the
blessings have flown. and the good
feeling is combined with a spirit of
thankfulness for the privilege of living
in so fruitful a land. The misfortunes
of the past are practically forgotten.
because there is great cause to con-
template with satisfaction the COM
forts of the present. Thanksgiving
should be a season of unusual en-
thusiasm."

1t is stated officially that upward
of six hundred persons have establish

six months. Every train brings new
applicants, and every part of the Unit
ed States is already represented by
those who have found marriage a

The new Nevada divorce law is,
perhaps, the most elastic ever entered
on the statutes of any state. 1t was
enacted by TIE legislature to attract
Immigration and money to the state

six months. He or she need not live

Here is what Reno divorce special
list says in a treatise on the procedure
required: ''While the laws in other
states generally contain some provi-
sion for the dissolution of the mar
