the silk worm moth has 1880 eyes
and the wings of fly make 1000 vi
brations per second.
Don't you find fault with God and
his Word and the creation Of this
world, you poor idiot, when you don't
know beans about fly.
A fellow said: We'll, Jesus Christ
was a false prophet, because he only
talked about the things He saw around
Him."
"Why, He couldn't peer into the
future" said an infidel out west. "He
never talked about locomotive, a
steamship. He said nothing about a
submarine or electricity. He said
nothing about compressed air. or ra-
dunn
My, that's hot one, Because Jesus
never mentioned that, He must have
been fraud!
| Oh, God made the sun of fire and
he poised it in space to warm the uni
verse. Is God Almighty going to stop
to bother His head about little, tiny
speck that we go into spasms over
called an electric light?
You Cannot Explain
Everything.
So there are lots Of things you can't
explain, SO don't be an idiot and go to
hell just because you can't explain
some of these things. Like an old
woman said to a doctor: why is it,
sir, that some medicines will produce
sleep and others will not?"
He told her in a rather technical
way. She said: Never knowed it be-
fore!"
We take most things because they
appear to be. l hold that a design
tells of designer. l hold that this
pulpit over which l am speaking tells
me that some mind conceived it and
brought it forth. This sounding-board
over my head wasn't evolved without
the work of a creator. The old Hud-
son flowing along and the Palisades
tell me of creator that ran his finger
down and made the pathway for it to
flow into the sea.
: If evolution is used as a word to
describe progress, surely won't quar-
rel, but when evolution is used as a
word to describe the development from
one specie into another-good night,
you and l will fuss right there. l do
not believe in the bastard theory of
evolution. l do not believe that / came
from the "fortuitous concurrence OF
atoms" I do not believe that my
great, great grandfather was a mon
key with tail wrapped around a
cocoanut tree. If you believe your
great, great grand-daddy was a mon,
key, then you take your daddy and &c
/, to hell with him, but leave me out!
came from a different bunch altogeth
er, thank God!
| Sundays Opinion
About EvoIutionists.
, Infidels and evolutionists go up and
down the land. You give evolution full
swing and you will have two hemis
pheres of crime and a thousand peni
7 tentiaries and lazaretos and brothels
Evolution says: Better and better
grows the heart by natural improve
! ment," and the Bible says: ''The hear
is deceitful above all things and des
perately wicked"
oh, you might as we'll try and brew
fragrance from malodor or product
; oratory from buzz-saW or tomca'
on the fence doing his stunts, as t
think that you can be saved by any
other method or plan. All these othel
: plans whereby you hope to be saved
J are as useless as hip-pocket in /;
! ! night shirt.
A fellow says: "Bill, I believe the
: New Testament, but / don't believe tn,
= Old" or vice versa: 81 believe the Oh
! but l don't believe in the New Testa
: ment." All right, my friends, the Oh
I and the New are interviewer, and tn,
! Old is quoted over 500 times in tn
= = New.
= The New Testament is not nev
revelation of God, the New Testamen
= is the fulfillment of the promises givel
!, in the Old, and if you will give an in
+ telligent gentleman a copy of the New
! Testament he will ask you for the OIL
!. one, he will say: Where is the on
!. to which this refers?" So that Jesu
y Christ is the center and the circun
ference of both the Old and the New.
! So the New isn't new revelation
r. of God-not at all.
His Explanation Of -
1t Jonah and Whale.
o Now, some man says: "I don't BIZ
y lieve in Jonah and the whale" VIII
II not? The question is not, Did a whal
l. swallow Jonah-that isn't the question
K The question is, Could God make
fish big enough to swallow a man?
u He could, then there is nothing NOR
. to it. That's the question: it ism
u whether the fish did swallow him, tn
- question is could God make one bi
III enough to swallow him-that's tn
whole thing in a nutshell, l don't Civ
picayune who you are.
IL But listen to me. My friend Georg
Bullen is one of the greatest author
l on whales the world has ever known
= ! He says there are fifty-two species {
y whales in the seas and fifty of thel

- question.
Jonah took the first ride In SUI
