PROOF THAT
GOD EXISTS
Evidence at Presbyterian
Church TomsrreW NiQht.

Most men believe IN God because
they have a feeling of dependence on
a higher power, or because of some
religious experience that has made
them aware OF the presence of the di-
vine spirit. These reasons are sufl-
cient for the man that has them, but
the witness of them often fails to
convince others in whom this feeling
Is not 90 strong or who have not had
such religious experience. Hence the
presentation of objective proof or ev-
idenee for the purpose Of convincing
Ing to the evidence.
Three or four great lines of evil
dence have been presented and
scholars Of all grades Of belief and
unbelief have investigated these
with a sincerity and thoroughness
equal to II not SURPRISING the inquiry
inc any other field Of knowledge.
The discovery Of new facts in various
periods Of history have weakened or
strengthened now n and now an
other Of these proposed proofs for
Gods existence. There were the
proofs from conscience and con-
seriousness; but these are thought to
be too subjective to convince others.
The proof from the order In universe
has convinced many that there must
be an yer present directive intelli-
genee L infinite power and wisdom.
TIL newest proof Is that from the
beauty of the universe, that can hard
ly be accounted for by chance, or
unfeeling law, or it's usefulness; but
rather, by the kindly care Of an in
finite being for the Joy of the crea-
lures in His image.
Perhaps the most convincing evil
dence of all is that drawn from the
many remarkable Instances of design
In nature. The evolutionists at once
attacked this argument and began
by far-reach1ng experiment and OBJ
servation to show the steps by which
these appliances of nature were fit
ted to each other. But this very in
vestigat1on has led to the discovery
OF so many more remarkable In
stances, so much more convincing,
that they are beginning to throw up
their hands in despair of aver ade-
quately accounting for them except
by the existence OF an infinite direc-
tive mind.
The emil. emit Alfred Russell Wal
lace, retarded by many an tho fore-
most man in this department of sci
ence, has recently published his lat
est conclusions in q book entitled
THE World of Life" Here he gives
many OF the most beautiful and i'm
pressive instances OF design that have
convinced him OF the existence Of an
initiate directive intelligence. We
welcome such a confirmation of our
faith.
In the sermon Sunday night at the
First Presbyterian church, Rev.
James H. Northrup, the pastor, Will
present the argument from design IL
Illustrated by some of the ~clearest and
most beautiful instances given by Mr..

THE scRAPPY OSTRICH.

He Is Full Of Treaohery and Dearly
Loves to Fight.
Those who manage ostrich farms de-
clare that much diplomacy is required
in the handling Of the ostrich, which
in more respects than one is a decidedly
queer bird.
The ostrich requires, aside from
other necessary qualifications, a mas
ter's hand, a strict hand, tempered by
justice and mercy. Not that the ostrich
ia at all ap~preciative Of kindness. In
deed, he never becomes thoroughly
domesticated, say those who know
him in captivity.
On the contrary, the ostrich Is
haughtily and stolidly irresponsible to
kindness, and SC treacherous Is he
when full grown that even his daily
attendants never approach him unless
equipped with the necessary appli-
ances to bring him to terms when In
an ugly or dangerous mood.
The ostrtch's chief object in life
seems to be to fight on every possible
occasion. Indeed, a nght TO MIN Is
the very spice Of things.
The male ostrich Is not without COM
mendable qualities, however. For in
stance, he mates but once and forever.
Should he. al often happens In the
course of a domestic complication, kick
his mate to death he remains true and
constant to her memory, never seeking
a successor. In the ordinary phases Of
domesticity he II attentive and help
full. He digs the whole in the ground
that II to serve as a nest. and during
the process Of incubation, which con-
tinues for forty days, he relieves tho
mother bird Of her duties from early
evening till late the next morning.
A curious habit Of the male ostrich
b his constitutional" At sunrise and
Just before twilight the male birds line
up In single nle and racs around the
Enclosure at whirlwtnd speed until
thoroughly Mmbered up. Then. sud
denly arranging themselves in sets,
they execute a grotesQue minuet with

TsIsphons BIunders.

"Have you any spare ribs?" was the
question asked a Portland business
man recently, when he took down the
telephone receiver to answe a call.
For q moment the business man
thought he was the subject Of some
Joke, but the sweet voice that asked
the question treasured him, and he
realized that there was some mistake,
so he hastily answered:
mo, madam, I am not Adam, and 1
am not willing to give up n Of my
ribs for any purpose"
"Oh, I beg your pardon was the
prompt reply. Il thought I had
Blanks meat market"
. This Incident brought forth a story
about the chief Of police of Oakland,
Cal. Some years ago, when asked over
the telephone II he had any brains, he
grew furious and said some very I'M
polite things to the lady who asked
the question before he discovered that
she wanted a butcher shop and not the
chief Of police.-Portland Oregonian.
