1T is cabled from London that
George Bernard Shaw, in addressing
gathering of Cambridge under
graduates on May g. broke forth in
an irruption of irreligious ribaldry so
characteristic of him. and so offensive,
not only to Christian believers, but
even 10 unbelievers of refined taste
who have innate courtesy enough to
be unwilling to blackguar those who
The People "Fzfclxed God Out of the
Window" Says shaw.
He is quoted as saying: when OAR
win came along with the theory of
natural selection. people jumped at it
and kicked God out or the window"
Few people have been more success
ful than Shaw in dispiaying either the
insincerity of the mate brutality of
their natures. As to the insincerity of
the above statement. Shaw lies, and he
knows he lies. He knows that, so far
from Darwin's the most ardent evolu-
tionists are the most ardent religion
lists, and that means that to the
philosophicaily minded-which Shaw,
of course, is not-evolution is a doc
trine which theory having been jumped
at, 1t was received with exceeding
Eesitancy and has noe even yet been
recognized as a finality.
And as to God having been kicked
out Of the window. very many theories
deal with a certain MODE of ex-
istence, not with the ORIGIN of ex-
istence, and thus pushes the begin
ming of all things further back with
out pretending at all to account for
that beginning.
If Shaw has read Darwin's Origin Of
Species he knows that. and if he has
not he had better put his pen up and
keep his mouth shut So far as fuhda-
mentals are concerned Darwin leaves
the universe just where he found it.
And as to the ruffianism of his
statement, if Shaw. possessed of his
present rancid and rituperative dis
position. had grown up among black
jackers and throat cutters, he would
long ago have been swung into etern-
ity. at the ropes end.
Shawts vituperative blatancy will
rather confirm than unSettle the faith
of believers, but. is exceedingly capt.
waiting to those to wnom. for reasons
of their own, a universe with God
out of 1t offers more seductive pros
pect than a universe with God in it.

The First Rung

W. HEN it became known tina
! w Nick Cultivate of Dunchestel
was on the market himself
seeking to; be employed, several firms
wondered if he would do as well for
them as he had formerly done for him.
/ self
He finally got a job as Continental
traveller to a certain Walker Pen
dleton. who made piece goods on the
capital of several sleeping partners
and who was astute enough to offer
Nick one percent higher commission
than anyone else.
| Now Nichols Cultivate had made
considerably more than a bowling ac-
| quaintance with several tongues and
as the charmers of the European mar
ket were drawn out in his brain like
a map, he very quickly made Roadway,
and sold much stuff, so that Walker
Pendleton & Co.'S tooms were kept
busy, and Nick drew what they consid-
cred were fat commissions.
No so Nicholas Cultivate. He
was used to the results Of his efforts
going entirely into his own pocket,
so he suggested higher commission.

Marseilles on his next journey. he felt
the lure of the Pyrenees, and when he
got within shadow OF that great chain
of mountains, he found the country be-
yond calling him with an insistence
that he could not resist.
As his earnings were mainly out
of commission, he felt that he was free
to move more or less As he liked, and
he wired TO his employers that he
was going dnwn as far as Gibraltar,
where he fancied some business might
be done. At Gibraltar was letter
awaiting him, written with an economy
OF words that did not detract from
the clarity or emphasis of the COM
munication it conveyed. Messrs. Pen
dseton & Co, were not touching spec
ulative business. They were not
touching trade either southwark or
eastward of the Pyrenees, and any
journey made by Nicholas Outh-
waite outside the prescribed limits was
entirely at his own expense and re-
sponsibility.
He wired them:

The reply came back in one word:

All the same. he went over by the

of Tetuan. But before going, he in
