MORE GRADUATES TAKE
UP METHODIST MINISTRY

Information of a most encouraging
nature comes from a dispatch Of q few
days ago regarding recruits for the
ministry. There has been a steady de-
cline for several years in all Protestant
bodies in the number of men offering
themselves for the sacred ministry.
The Methodist on conservation and
advance announces a marked leap for
ward, that 1873 out of every 1000 young
men graduates of twenty-nine Metho.
dist institutions, have signified their
intention to enter the ministry. This
is the greatest number in the history
of Methodism preparing for Christian
service.

BIOGENETICS
Sermonet by C. B.
EVOLUTION


Text: Mark ives. First the blade,
then the ear, after that tho full corn
In the ear"
Who can suggest a better text for the
Evolutionistf And what Ia the atti.
tude of the Biogenist towards the evo-
lutionary hypothesis?
II l may pose as the mouthpiece of
these, will say that it's devotees pa
rade an academic concept as though il
were a vital personal asset; whereas
II should be classed with such themes
as relatively. Two citizens take up
quarter sections of land; the one learns
all possible about the top yard of his
claim, intent upon feeding his little
flock, while the other lies awake
querying over its geologic and cosmic
phases, borrowing meanwhile his sup
plies from his neighbours bounteous
harvests.
Evolution Is my religion" many
people declare, whereas 1t is positively
unmoral-wholly devoid of any ethical
aspect! Eons and morality can never
affiliate. There are many citizens
who feel themselves above reproach,
yet really are demoralizers, since they
practically put Deity In such a vague,
hay, remote atmosphere, beclouded
with such millions OF years, that the
rising generation, surely, loses all
sense Of personal accountability!
Who would accept the crown Jewels
Of England as gift, IL he had to en-
ploy a battalion, and possess a Tower
to properly guard them? War, hell
and destruction is all that humanity
can anticipate when morality and re-
ligion are eliminated.
For one, I plead densest icnora nce
concerning what transpired a billion
years ago-and there are several cos
mic problems of the future which I
have failed to fully work out.
Opportunities and facilities were de-
MED, so had to begin with self, my
unaided vision and reflection, and ]
find In my circumscribed biogenetic
field more priceless treasures than a
millennium can elaborate. "oh, the
depth of the riches both of the wis
dom and knowledge OF God"

LEGIsLATURE CALLED AGAIN

Governor Groesbeck decided Mon
day night to summon the members of
the legislature back TO Lansing July
10 70 correct the muddle which grew
out Of the passage of two amendments
10 the municipal bonding statues by
the 1921 legislature in the regular ses-
sion. The Ramsey act, which was
passed first. increased the limit from
two to eight per cent on the amount
OF it's bonded Indebtedness a city
would spend for any one purpose. The
measure was passed expressly TO meet
the needs OF Lansing and Saginaw
Later in the session a bill making a
minor amendment To the old statute
governing municipal Indebtedness was
passed and in phraseology the new
measure had the Ramsey amendment
left out. The governor decided on
the latest bill because its later pas
sage would take precedence over the
Ramsey act and in effect IL would
