Dark Age Stuff
Jew Batting One Of the Oldest
Crimes in History.
(By Percy Montgomery

This government was supposed To
have been founded upon the theory
that all men are born free and equal.
In support Of that contention, the
revolutionary war was fought. In
further support thereof, the war Of
1S12-a naval war-was fought. An
other crisis in national life having
arisen in 81, the civil war was
fought-the most notable conflict
between man and man, the most in
spired war ever fought by human
beings. 1t is but yesterday that the
curtain was drawn on the world war.
1t Is safe to say that almost without
exception, every man who fought In
this war believed himself an avenger
Of trespass upon human rights.
DR.. Nicholas Murray Butler, presi-
dent of Columbia University, New
York, in a recent address said, "You
can no more hold back the processes
Of evolution than you can hold back
waves Of the sea, and all Of the proc
esses Of evolution tend toward con-
solidation and coordination"
1t is unimportant to the scientist,
economist, anthropologist or any
other student, who or what particu.
lar good created the universe. II
seems pretty clear to even small
minds that there is a fixed plan I'M
der which everything about US op-
crates.
Nature Abides by Law.
An interesting experiment was
performed not long since in q plant
laboratory. Some seed were placed
in small amount Of soil and be-
tween two pieces Of plate glass. The
glass was then bound together and
set on edge. In n short time, green
shoots had taken an upward direc
ton, and roots n downward direction.
The plates were reversed and In q
few days the shoots had turned to-
ward the sky. This Is a simple H.
lustration Of the point that there
is law governing each and every
impulse in the universe.
For the purpose Of argument, let
US suppose that there was an intelli-
gence back Of the creation Of this
world in which we live. It Is very
difficult to believe that there was
not an intelligence In the planning
and n continuing intelligence which
is ceaselessly operative.
