rived its existence from what was in
being before it, 1t must appear, then
that the infidel's eternal series of men
or animals, OF plants, etc, must have
been simply impossible.
One of the most remarkable features
of the sacred Scriptures in the record
ing of the creation, is that nowherC
is there anything said or any informa
ton given as to WHEN this globe
was brought into existence; it Simply
states the grand and important fact
that. "in the beginning" whenever that
was, God created the heaven and the
learth." And, as we said before, this
would allow for all those millions of
ages that may have elapsed, during
which all the physical changes and
operations described in geology were
going on. However, as the Bible ac-
count of creation does not inform us
at what time. so neither does it in
what form it was at first created.
Naturally. in newspaper article, one
feels his limitations, both as to time
and space, and much could be said
that would bring out more clearly GER
tain statements that would throw ad-
ditional light upon the opic, were he
no circumscribed. Nevertheless, to
those who have not made any very
close investigations into these matters,
it will not be amiss to give the results
of an old Bible students discoveries, +"
and in as brief form as possible.
1t is we'll for the humble Christian
to be put ON his guard against the
various subtle forms of unbelief that
have sprung up in recent years. In
these papers l desire to show that
modern destructive criticism" is but
a more refined method of assailing the
Word of God than that employed by
blatant and blasphemous infidelity
Like Plate and Herod of old, the two
have joined hands in the crucifying of
the Christ afresh.
Modern criticism has yentured to
AID assail nearly all the
books of the Bible. but none with such
boldness and vehemence as the
Pentateuch, (that is, the five books of
Moses), unless it be the prophecy of
Daniel. And this is Satan's cunning;
for If the foundation books of the
sacred Scriptures are discredited then
the whole superstfucture of the Book
falls. A good man of the so-ealled
theologians of the day have Joined the
ranks of infldelity, and like Jehudah
Of old are now engaged in the bias
phemous task of cutting the Word of,
God to pieces. Yet these same rev
erend apostates would be insulted i'll

The election was held in connection

Among the hundreds or more cities
of the west and central west which
have adopted this plan. St. Paul is the
largest by far. Oakland with 10000
is next with Memphis and Omaha next.
The favorable vote was preceded
by aggressive publicity by all the daily
