JUSTIFICATION FOR THEORY.
Basis for Harmonizing Science and
Religion Outlined by DR.. Wilbur.

4 basis upon which the biblical ac-
count of the worlds creation could be
harmonized with the scientific theory Of
the nebular hypothesis was advanced yes
tcrday by DR.. William Alien Wilbur. dean
of the College of Arts and Sciences of
George Washington University, at the
Sunday afternoon assembly of the Young
Mems Christian Association. His subject
WAS The Relation of Science TO Re
ligion.'
Science" said Dean Wilbur lis the
study of Gods works: religion, the study
of His word. the Bible Science. in the
nebuIar hyI othesis, tells us that the first
beginnings of our earth were made when
the earth substance or minute par
ticles OF matter were endued with gravi-
tation force, which would make them
unite.
Now, grayitation is in matter, but is
not part of it. Gravitation, or the
power which pulls together the earth
material and keeps it together. is thus,
so to speak, the creative force, the life
Of matter.
Religion. in the book of Genesis, tells
us that God commanded Let there be
light, and there was light. What is
light? Simply form of motion. Here,
then. we have matter coming together by
the force of the gravitation which God
ordained. making light by their move
ment. Thus the biblical and the scieIl-
tlfic accounts of the earth's beginnings
may be reconciied; and from this point
on all creation is possible, under God s
development and control"

queen whose kingdom stands for peace.
The cities and islands of Holland are
shown, each with its customs. business
and social, and with every type of pic

busy canals, crowded streets and mar

birthday, ancient fishwives selling

below the level of Vermont avenue, or
the new Arlington Hotel site. this morn
ing made the discovery. A limb Of the
tree was first found. 1t was Embedded
In clay near the corner Of Vermont ave.
nue. and / street northwest. After the
limb had been removed the top portion
of the tree was brought to view. and later
other portions were found.
Wood Well Preserved.

spite the long Time it has been Embedded
