Many good people are greatly
worried over what seems to be !,
hopeless conflict between science,
and religion. There is a consider
| able conflict between Judaism and
science. and between Alohammcd-
anism and science"
That tale that Islam'S prophet
rtcllS about the sun falling into the
ocean and several other caperS he
said the heavens were going to cut
are in hopeless conflict with science
And the Jewish idea Of Il world
with a roof over it and wafer OH
ltop of the rof that pours through
some sort Of sitter arrangement
when it rains is mighty hard to
reconcile with science or astronomy
There is not but one living IMAM who
can reconcile science and this re-
Hgion and that is William JeIf-
nings Bryan. He will have human
revolution abolished by popular
ivOtc.' I do not know how much
trouble DarwiniSm is giving
| Bryan's church. hut from Bryan
and Billy Sunday. Darwinism must
be about as much trouble TO their
Church as Organism is TO the DEM
ocratic party. There is no conflict
in real christianity and science.
No human being can trace word
to Christ that is in conflict with
any science. or amy philosophy
| that is right. The Great God of this
Universe does not need any human
! assistance. but humans need his
assistance. The only way il man
can be Il Christian is to li!c right
and be straight and ne has got to
consider the other fellow too. The
Christian rciigian is The hardest
religion on earth for mean people
TO follow hence so much wriSsIign
! to please God some other way en-
ccpt by being decent and honorable
and straight. 4 mans life is his
religion and he must be just as re-
ligionS on Monday rs he is on Sun
day. You arc never going TO fool
the Almighty with sacrifices and
circumciSionS and Sabbaths. Every
day is equally holy to God. These
! Old Skinflints that tell how much
they love GOd' on Sunday and
then expect TO cheat and rob for
the other six days are going
straight to He'll. They can not sue
cc>Sfully fool human beings all the
time let alone an Almighty Being.
They are Jews not Christians and
not good Jews either because there
are lots OF good Jews. They arc
the same old bunch that Isaiah was
alter. There never was Il good man
or woman Yet that went Ia hell and
never will be one. He'll is full of
, human hogs and Cul-throatS and
hHpocrltcs and the earth's rubbish.
No man who lives an upright life
and with due consideration and
brotherIy feeling for his fellow
man need fear TO meet the Great
Judge of all The earth. And this
Sunday Law and lid-iitting is no
good to anybody. 81 PauI's advice
