Which Shall We Do, Burn the
 Bible or A AbdndOn the Sc1oOlrOon?
By $. A. ELLIS

That will appear as very foolish ques- tion to some. but when we see the rapid growth of agnostlcism, skepticism and in- fidelity among both the young and the older ones of our country, and trace the source of responsibility of such condi- tions it becomes a vital question of the greatest importance that could be asked.
 The theory of evolution now being pro- mulgated among the young people in the form of lectures, as well as from the subjects taught from the textbooks in the public schools, is destroying faith in the Bible, and will lead to the destruc- tion of our free institutions and sap the very foundation of our religious fabric.
 We often hear it referred to by pupils, not only of the public schools of this city, but from other parts of our country.
 One of the textbooks in the sixth grade contains an illustration of the progress of mans evolution from the monkey, and in that connection Is this statement Tt is not at all unlikely that men are de- scended from ancestors who were very much lower than even the lowest savage of today"
 The principal of one of the city schools recently remarked in my hearins that nearly all educated men of Europe and America regard the old scriptures IS the work of man. The story of Adam and Eve Is regarded an allegory. Not only are the public schools being affected, but to our surprise the pulpit Is becoming contaminated with this belief The pas tor of one of the leading churches in this city said to mo recently. Tt matters lit- He to me whether man evolved from the monkey or not: that evolution is the pro- cess of all growth toward perfection"
 We have it from reliable authority that only one professor of any standing in one

Not the Real Article

From the Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph. The last minstrel stopped at a back door and said to the housewife who greeted him:
 Give me something to eat. fair dame, and l will tickle your ears with merry tale of romance"
 But why not tell me the tale first?'' the dame suggested.
 NO. I must have the food and drink before I talk"
 Thereupon the dame slammed the door with the tart reply:
 You're not merry minstrel; you're only an after dinner speaker"

Captain Ceilings sailed the seas for many years; then he sustained bad double rupture that soon forced him to bedridden for years. He tried doctor after doctor and truss after truss. No results! Finally. he was assured that he must either submit to a dangerous and abhorrent operation or die He did ueitherl He cured himself instead.

Total ........................... buU0 yrs Let us imagine monkey about devel- open to manhood stage See him seated at desk cross legged, cigarette in his mouth, looking across the street planning how to cheat his neighbor. There he sits until he wears off thai part of his an atomy familiarly called a tail. He rises, dons q suit of broadcoth and beaver hat, walks out with thumbs in the arm holes of his vest and introduces himself to the public as MT. pr. Darwin, Esq, A. B.. "A. M, IL. D., etc. My great grandfather was a monkey; have devel- oped into what you see in me- Don't you think I have done well? I am really proud of myself. By my own exertions, I have become yhat you see. Take my books on the Descent of Man" and read what I say about it, and you will learn to look upon that old book called the Bi- ble as collection of fables, myths and allegories, hardly worth your attention. Throw the old book away, introduce my works in the schools and pulpits of the day Be careful, however. for this will have to be done rather shyly and with great caution, for people are very scarry and supersttious about their religion"
 Thus reason MT. Darwin and his fol- lowers who feign much learning and write essays aboupt missing links" and offer great guesses and suppositions as to how the monkey lost his tail and his hairy coat, etc.
 My friends, ye fathers and mothers, awake to the danger to which your chill dren are exposed. Ere you are aware of it. their faith in the Bible will be gone, and gone forever. Demand the removal of such books from the schoolroom as teach that man descended from the mon- key. Hold up the Bible as the only true standard of living with faith in its pre- cepts and faith in its genuineness and authenticity. It is time to awake. If we accept evolution. we must deny the Bible. The two are as diverse as the positive and negative poles, as light and darkness. They are absolutely incompatible.
