There has been and Il the devel-

have developed the hog. but It is

BURBANK developed the potato.
but he hasn't developed It into a
plum.
You can develop the species. but
you can't change one species into
another.
A friend of mine one time took
me out to his hog lot and showed
me O male hog that he paid $4,000
for. I could tie gold bells in his
ears, tie pink ribbons around his
old fat sides, put q gold collar
about his neck. feed him on the
choicest greens Of the vegetable
garden, and call him sweet names,
but looked at him and he squeal-
ed for slop just like pig that was
worth only thirty cents.
can go into the tungles Of Africa
and catch q monkey or q chimpanzee,
and can teach him to eat soup with q
spoon and drink coffee out of q cup
land that's more than some Of you
folks know. And I can teach him to
eat with his fork and make his bed.
but he's the same old monk.
EmbaImed Flowers.
Over In Egypt, In the museum. they
have species OF flowers that have been
embalmed for 1000 years, and the
same species grows today along the
banks Of the Nile. and 1t has not added
or lost q leaf or q petal.
They have animals in that museum
that have been embalmed for 400
years. and the same species is found
in Egypt today and 1t hasn't changed
one iota.
I don't believe the miserable old
theory of evolution. am just as God
made me and was not made by any
''fortuitous concurrence Of atoms"
I don't believe in that, and don't
believe. either, that my great great
grandfather was a monkey. Why,
that's nonsense. Away with It! Do
you want to believe that you came
from a monkey? All right, I don't.

believe in the Old Testament, but not
in the New"
Another says, IT believe the New
Testament, but not the Old"
The New Testament is not new
revelation Of God. It Is simply the
fulfllment OF the promises he made
in the Old Testament That's all II
is, and yet Jesus Christ is the CEN
ter. the circumference and the nu-
cleus OF the Old and New.
Whale Swallows Sailor.
Somebody says: 'T don't believe
the story Of Jonah and the whale.
Why not?
They say: why It Is a physical
impossibility for a whale to swal-
low a man"
Is that so2 Well. you don't know
anything about 1t.
/ hold in my hand a clipping from
the Literary Digest of April 4. 1896.
which says that a vessel was cruis-
ing OF the coast OF Joppa, in the
Mediterranean Sea, and the sailors
were harpooning a whale when they
were thrown into the sea and all
but two were saved.
Shortly afterward a boat picked
up one Of those two men, but the
other one could not be found. His
name was James Barkley. The mon
ster whale, after 1t had ceased NOV
ing and was dead. was hoisted up
alongside the ship and the process
OF cutting up its body began.
1t took one day and one night to
do II. and when at last they reached
its stomach and it was opened, what
was their surprise to find there the
other sailor. There he was, uncon-
scious, but alive, in the whales
stomach.
For several days he was delirious
and could not speak in an intelligible
manner. but It was not until three
weeks had elapsed that he recovered
his reason so that he could explain
the sensation Of being swallowed by
q whale.
Like Being Boiled.
He said: IT remember the moment
tail and we were thrown into the sea
and as I fell and struck the water I
was swallowed by the whale, and I
found myself inclosed in a slippery
channel and was being forced down
by the contraction of the muscles.
This lasted only for an instant,
then found myself in the stomach
OF the whale and, to my horror. re-
allied my condition. and with great
difficulty I got my breath.
TT seemed to me as II were being
boiled alive. The horrible thought
that I was doomed to death in the
stomach OF a whale almost sent me
crazy. At last lost my reason"
James Barkley was known to be
one Of the most hardy sailors, and
yet his experience was so terrible that
he was obliged to undergo treatment
in q hospital in London Neverthe-
less. his general health was not af-
fected and the only effect that could
be noticed was that his skin was tan
ned by the peculiar action Of the
gastric Juices of the whales stomach
upon It.
So you don't need to go back to the
days Of Jonah to find whales that
swallow men.
II you would leave that mans wife
alone maybe you would believe II. If
you would pay your debts maybe you
would believe II.
As to the Greek science that loaded
the world on the shoulders Of an old
geezer called Atlas-who ever saw
old Atlas? Greek science! Myi Ny!
Who ever saw old Atlas holding UP
the world? And on what did he
stand while he was doing It? And
where did he eat and sleep while he
was on the Job?
