H 4 "
Ia desperate leap i'll the dark,
for science has not advanced Il
shred OF real evidence to prove
that the gulf between the inor-
ganic and the organic can be
bridgcd. Professor Haldane of
Oxford, with whose work Mr..
Wenzel must be well acquainted,
voiced the judgment of sane sci
ence when he declared that, so far
from having advanced towards a
physico- chemical explanation OF
life, we are iii appearance very
much farther from one than we
were fifty years ago. Finally,
thOrough-going evolutionists pre-
tend that consciousness is also a
product Of primordial molecules.
How this is we are not informed,
although outside Of the Arabian
Nights Entertainment, - where by
the. rubbing of a lamp a spirit is
summoned, we cannot conceive
how such a thing can be.
The Implications of all those
monstrous assumptions arc OBJ
vious. One of them, Mr.. Balfour,
points out in his recent work on
Theism and Humanism: eff NOR
atty is the product Of material
agencies sense of humor, if moth
ing else, should prevent us vast
ing fine language on the moral
law and the reverential obedience
owed to it by mankind. Ethics
must have it's roots i'll the Divine
and i'll the Divine must find it's
contamination" There is eyolu-
ton and evolution; Mr.. Wenzel S
evolution would sweep religion
and morality out of existence to-
gether with everything else that
makes us human beings.
When Mr.. Wenzel asserted that
there is no such thing as Theistic
evolution he overstepped the
boundaries of his domain-a blaz-
ing indiscretion in a scientist. He
also put himself i'll opposition with
men of science of the first rank
in every land. In striking con
trast with the Professors airy
declaration are the weighty words
of Lord Kelvin, the foremost phys
icist of his age: i cannot admit
that science neither affirms nor
denies Creative Power. We are
absolutely forced by science to be-
lievc with perfect confidence i'll a
directive Power. There is nothing
between absolute scientific belief
i'll a Creative Power and the ac-
ceptance of the theory of a for
tuitOus cOncourse Of atoms"
When La Place presented his
work on the mechanism of the
heavens to Napoleon, he was asked
by the Emperor how he could
write SO big book about the uni
verse without mentioning the
Creator, He replied that he had
no need of amy such hypothesis.
After few months as Minister
of the Interior he was dismissed
by Napoleon, who declared that
he was good only for solving prob
lens in the infinitely little. Per-
haps Mr.. Wenzel's task also was
beyond him. AT all events, in
dispensing with his services Ham
line University has rendered a
service to science as well as to
religion.

EVOLUTION IN OUR MIDST.

A few days ago the community
was mildly startled by an outburst
OH Evolution OH the part OF Pro
fessor Orrin j. Wenzel of Hamline
University. The incident is pithi-
ly reported by a st. Paul paper
in the following fashion: Mr., S
f. Kerfoot. President Of Uamline,
said: eve believe III Theistic
evolution which includes God. .
Professor Wcnzel said: "There is
no such thing. E" This is the con
troyersy in nutshell. The
young professor would Danish the
agency of God from the age-long
process by which the world has
come to be what it is. He would
leave no room for Supreme In
telligence in nature or for purpose
in the workings of nature.
Our readers are, of course, con-
versant with the main idea of eyo-
luton. As far as the earth is
concerned, it means that this plan
ct of. ours began as a glowing
globe of gas flung off from the
sun, like cinder lcaping from
a fire, and that little by little,
cooling and shrinking and shrivcl-
ling and passing through Il success
sion of changes, it grew out into
the marvellous variety and beauty
Of inanimate nature and into fit
ness to sustain life. When life APP
peared evolution entered upon a
more ,wondrous phase-a new or
der of things was inaugurated.
From lower to higher, from simple
to more complex forms, life made
it's way, and when consciousness
dawned, it, too, made it's way up
ward, at last reaching it's highest
expression i'll man. Now, inteIli-
gent people are concerned to find
the purpose and reason of things
to describe things is not to explain
them; and SO the main question i'll
all this process is: Has evolution
proceeded under the moulding and
guiding power Of a Supreme Mind
or has it gone on i'll obedience to
blind, unconscious forces OF ma
ture? For the plain man there
seems to be no other alternative.
Professor Wenzel appears to think
that Divine agency is not neces-
sary to explain the world-process
there is no such thing as Theistic
evolution.
We can touch OH only a few OF
the things that they who exclude
God from evolution take for
granted.
They presuppose that matter
and energy are self-existent and
eternal. They start with a uni
verse of atoms which, as dis
tinguished English scientist once
pointed out, have all the appear
ance Of manufactured articles
atoms come into the field, keep
ing time, marching to their own
music like an ordered host. = 70
explain the universe by means OF
atoms is what the mechanic does
who has made a watch with a
screW-driver, because with this
tool he has been able to put to-
gether Ill a running condition the
parts OF a watch furnished by the
master workman. The atoms
themselves need an explanation
quite as much as the universe
which is composed of them. Mr..
Wenzel and his school of thought
further presuppose that in those
raw materials of the universe life
and sensation and consciousness
lie latent and nascent. They are
forced to foist these mysterious
properties on matter, for how
otherwise, could life and intelli-
gence ever be evolved from the
lincandescent gas with which the
world began? they claim that
life comes from 1on-living matter

New York Cotton.

New York. Dec. l3.-Thc cotton market was very nervous and unSe'tl- cd this morning. Cables were dlsap- pointing and it looked as if some oi yesterdays buyers on the talk of paacc negotiations were liquidating their commitments. The opening was easy at a decline of 1IM24 points. After selling at 1S.30c, January rallied to 1S.37c on covering and buying by people who had been impressed by yesterdays peace news, but who had been waiting for reaction on Whlch to enter the market. This advance met Liverpool selling, however. ana prices soon weakened, with January selling off to 1S.15c and May to 1S.3lc, or about 37m45 points net lower. Private cables reported delayed con tncntal liquidation on Monday bureau report in Liverpool and sad it was generally thought peace negotl- ations were unlikely to succeed.
 The Liverpool selling here was very heavy during the first hour and the market continued nervous and unset tied during tho entire morning with May contracts selling off to 1S.4lc, or about D points under last night closing figures. Support from trade interests and covering checked the de- cline around this level. but trading became comparatively quiet on bulges of 10 or F points from the lowest. Another wave of selling pressure sent the market 62.666 points net lower early in the afternoon, with January selling at 17.90c; and may at 1S.33c. Selling then subsided amt there were rallies of 20 points or more 1 on covering. Exports today were lo, 1 429 bales.
 Cotton closed steady. The range:

New Orleans Cotton.

New Orleans, Dec. 13.-Very poor cables aud uncertainty over the effect of the German peace proposals caused a nervous and declining market m cotton in the carly trading here to- day Under heavy offerings, prices showed a loss of 3SM44 points on the old crop and 19 points on the new.
 The market made no snow or strength at any time and floor gossip was that many of the buyers of yes tcrdav were re-selng. This disposl- ion appeared to be increased alter the receipt of private cable messages predicting that the peace proposals would be rejected by England. In the trading up to noon prices lost 49ep n points, the old crops showing the widest changes.
 Cotton closed steady at decline oi 420D50 points. The range:

with May at $1.65 1-2 to $1.67, and July at $1.43 to $144, were followed by a moderate setback, but then by a rise all around made it slightly above the initial level.
 News other than that regarding the chances of peace received scarcely any attention. Reports of possible counter proposals from Great Britain and her allies led to set back in prices in the last half of the session. The effect, however, failed to last. Quotations closed firm at S1.67 1-2@1.67 1-2 for May and $1.43@1.43 7S for July, with the market as a whole ranging from the same as yesterdays finish to 2 l-4c higher.
 Corn, like wheat, had an upward slant. Commission houses were main ly on the bull side, influenced chiefly by the outlook against quick truce. After opening Is to 1 5-8 higher, 1 the market reacted little, and later scored something of rally. | In subsequent trading the market was temporarily depressed by sym pathy with wheat. The close was un- settled at 1 5-8001 1-2c net advance. In oats, as in other grain, the bears were at disadvantage. Shorts pur- chased freely on the declines. i Less optimism regarding peace gave a downturn to provisions. Besides, re-
 ceipts of hogs were unusually plenti-
 fu and quotations at the yards much 1 lower.
