There has been an increase each Sum

preached on Romans 5:S, But God

"commendeth His loBea- ami died

sweetness charm .and nourish you.
Did you ever wonder what the Father
was doing while the prodigaR was

Sunday night the Housewives packed
to s~uffocation, and Dr.. Marshall
preached what many considered the
great sermon of the series. What

and the sermon was asvivid descrip-
ton of Paul before and latter eonver-

did not attack Mr.. Bridge. I suppose
he is a perfectly fine gentleman. But
when he comes out inca public state
ment | have a right as a native born
American to attack that statement.
He came out in a statement that he
believes, "AH science and art to me
a revelation of Gods total truth and
beauty" | find that Webster says
that art is human skilTkand science is
knowledge and that knowledge is in
formation and information is intellig-
ence and intelligence is understand
ing, understanding is intellect and in
tellect is understanding. Say-that
goes in a circle. Will that save the
race? Further, he says Eve affirm
a kingdom of God coming on earth
through social evolution, through edu-
cation and spiritual development" If
this is true then Jesus did not know
what he was talking about. Either
Christ or this preachers statement is
wrong. Mr.. Bridge is a gentleman,
/ have no doubt, but his theology is
rotten.
Tonight DR.. Marshall breaches a
great sermon on "Giantss"
At the beginning of the evening
service, Dean Hamilton. pastor of the
church., said that DR.. Marshall was
one of the denominations trusted and
honored servants. That there were
1000, 900 Baptists md that they stood
for the things that Dr. Marshall was
emphasizing. The Star-Mirror was
cordially thanked for the space they
had kindly given them meetings.
st. Marks Church.
Rev. w. H. Bridge spoke on the sub
ject of "Religion and Science" There
can be no ultimate antagOnism be-
tween these two, he said. The church
which opposes the findings of science
is signing its own death warrant. On
he other hand it is evidently foolish
Of science TO claim an omniscience
which makes religion null and void.
Science, uses and can only use the log
icaI faculty of man, and can deal only
With those phenomena which be open
to the sense faculties. But there is
more truth han the little, instrument
of human intelligence can hold: life
tseff is larger than logic. Science
nay be compared with the camera
takes a photograph of a beauti-
'ul face. Religion, with the effect of
he same face on a loving friend. In
/ word science deals with facts. Re-
igion determines relationships.
In speaking of the scientific view of
