w. J. BRYAN TILTS AT MODERN SCIENCE

defended in these schools it should
not be attacked, either directly or
under the guise OF philosophy or
science.
And the corollary he Immediately
draws is that "It is not sufficient
to say that some believers in Dar-
winism retain their belief in
Christianity; some survive the
smallpox. AS we avoid smallpox
because many die of it, so we
should avoid Darwipism because it
leads many astray.'
He labels the bogey he is attack
ing "Darwinism" and seems to
understand thereby doctrine that
man is a direct descendant of the
monkey, though, occasionally, he
glimpses evolution as something
little wider in meaning; but his real
enemy is the whole modern scien-
tific spirit, based On rationalism.
His book is a frank, vigorous, often
truly eloquent and highly emotional
appeal to Authority, to revelation"

Bible. literally accepted. as the

cerity is entitled to respect, and it
is also probably true that one could

who feel with him to one who is
capable Of understanding the au

evolutionary philosophy as set
forth by John Burroughs in his re-
markable book, Accepting the
Universe" Moreover, possibly one

and one may, perhaps, agree with
Mr.. Bryan to the extent that this
is not altogether a wholesome con-
dition. But can twentieth CEN
tury Julian put back the clock?
Mr.. Bryan's mental attitude is
naively medieval; very early
medieval: he turns from the pres
ent to the sixth century. His
method is that of a Cosmos Indi-
copleustes, as cOntrGsted with that
of an Einstein, Burroughs, or a
Prof. Thomson. 1t is q not un-
natural reaction. nor is Mr.. Bryan
alone in it. Ancient man, Greek
and Roman. was essentially self.
reliant, from Socrates to Lucian,
whereas Christianity, especially
after Augustine. solved all its prob
lens by casting them on the
Lord" Modern science and even
its forerunners in Kantian ration
alism--demands something of this
antique quality of sclf-reliance. and
it is a difficult attitude to maintain.
Its air is rarefied, apt to be chilly
in its lack Of emotional content.

average human being. AS in the
era of early Christianity, from the
third century at least lin the

of Mr. Brvans appeal for a re-

ANY other explanation he finds "a
menace to fundamental morality
Tho hypothesis The saysl to
which the name of Darwin has been
given =. is obscuring God and
weakening all the virtues that rest
upon the religious tie between God
and man.
Naturally he has a good deal of
fun with what he curiously con-
ceives to be "Darwinism" or "evolu-
tion," though it may be noted in
passing he does not appear to be
aware of modern evolutionary phil
osophy as anything in advance OF
his "Darwinism." There is no sign
that he has ever heard of Bergson
or William James, or even Bur-
.r0ughs's last book.
According to evolutionists [says
heJ, there was time when animals
had no legs, and so the leg came by
accident. How? Well, the guess is
that a little animsl without legs
was wriggling along on its belly one
day, when it discovered a wart-it
Just happened so-and it was in the
right place to be used to aid it in
| locOmOtion; so it came to depend
upon the wart, and use finally de-
veloped it into leg. Is it
not astonishing that any person in

would talk such tommyrOt to stu
dents and look serious while doing
so?
He has even heard of electrons.
"But now they say it takes Lao
electrons to make IN atom of infi-
mite fineness. God, they insist, has
not had anything to do with this
universe since LAO electrons
formed a chorus and sang: Well
be an atom by and by.
Much of Mr.. Bryan's argument
brings back to the reviewer the
| memory of lecture on evolution

(who, by the way, is favorite au-
thority OF Mr.. Bryan's) deliver

lating, ending in the climax that
the proto-plasmic germ "just went
off into corner and begat itself" :"
1t ranked high as vaudeville.
More than half of Mr. Bryan's
book is taken up with Familiarity

little admixture of his equally
| familiar economic theorizing: in
such chapters as those headed

of oratory. There is nothing out
of the ordinary in that part of the
book.

open hostility TO freedom of

to the higher schools and universi-
ties. He is not merely content to

But Mr.. Bryan confronts an an
tagonist very different to the worm
out, attenuated Platonism of Angus
tines day. Modern science does
not yield readily to any incarnation
or magic formula. But it will be
ill-advised if it underestimate the
potentialities of a Bryanized edu-
cation.
Mr.. Bryan's method is direct.
"The Bible says he, sis either
the word of God or the work of
man. Those who reject the
Bible ignore its claim to inspira-
ton. The Bible characters
profess to speak by inspiration, and
what they say bears the stamp of
the supernatural. Its parts
were not arranged by man, but pre-
arranged by the Almighty.
Those who reject the Bible also
ignore the prophecies and their full
-fillment-'History written in ad-
vance'-prOof that appeals irresist-
IDLY to the open mind" Naturally
he is severe upon the higher
critics." recognizing in them his
worst enemies. at is like the
blind leading the blind for a high
-er critic. however honest, to rely
upon intellectual methods to convey
truths that are spiritually dis
cerned.'"
Faith [says hel is spiritual ex-
tension of the vision-a moral sense
that reaches out toward the throne
of God and takes hold Of yerities
the mind cannot grasp. Re-
ligion is a matter of the heart, and
the impulses Of the heart often
seem foolish to the mind. Faith is
different from and superior to rea-
son.
Thus he has the courage of his
convictions, and realizes that any
revealed religion must, inevitably,
rest squarely upon the validity of
it's revelation. Obviously he cannot
do without the doctrines of orig
inal sin, miracles. the virgin birth
of Christ, and. in fact, he needs the
whole. Pauline and Augustinian
superstructure of doctrine in addi-
tion to the actual tenets Of Christ
and the Old Testament. Hence his
refusal to accept any evolutionary
IDEAS or to recognize any incon-
venient discoveries of the geologist,
paleontologist OF biologist. II the
apparent fact appears to be irrecon-
cilable. or in the way, so much the
worse for the fact" Away with it!
The process of his mind is at least
simple.
The Bible he says starts with
simple story of creation-just a
few words, but it says all that can
be said. The scientists have
framed dhypotheses the philosophers
have formulated theories and the
spectators have guessed but
when the smoke of controversy
rises we find that the first sentence
of Genesis, still mistaken. compre-
hends the entire subject: In the
beginning God created the heavens
and the earth" No one has been
able to overthrow it, or burrow un-
der it or go around it.
The Bible. he reiterates, lis our
only guide" and IF we accept the
Bible as true we have no difficulty
in determining the origin of man.

scarcely necessary TO discuss it's

effect I've when he comes to ques-
tions of ethics.
Darwinism [says hel chills the
spiritual nature ana quenches the
fires of religious enthusiasm. IL
the proof in supper; of Darwinism
does not compel acceptance-and IL
does not-why substitute it for an
account of the creation that links
man directly with the Creator and
holds before him an example to be
initiated?
What can Darwinism ever do to
compensate any one for the .destruc-
ton of his faith in God, in His
Word, in His Son, md of the hope
of immortality?
One wonders whether Mr.. Bryan
himself would be quite consistent
in practice. Does h accept the doc
trine of a fiat earth and geo
centric cosmos? LII not, how does
he reconcile his belief in the spher-
icity of tde earth with the IDEAS OF
the early church fathers, To say
nothing Gf the probable opinion OF
st. Paul and the certainty that
Moses would have regarded a round
world as a manifest impious alb
surdity? The query is not unfair,

teacher in Kentucky lost his place

the earth was round which a Ken
lucky judge held to be mot accord
ing to the Scripture" IL education
is to be Organized. is there any
limit to the process?
Commenting upon the hefesy OF
certain university president. Mr.
Bryan says: "The student is told,
Throw your religion away il you
cannot reconcile it (the Bible OF
course) with the things taught in
biology, psychology, &c. Is
any other proof needed to show the
irreligious influence exerted by Oar
winism applied tc MANI"
He attributes the great war to
Darwinism, by way of Nietszche.
1t is also responsible for industrial
unrest and the conflicts between
labor ana capital. because il instills
ideals OF "individuallsm.'
Darwin's teachings drag industry
down 10 the brute level and excite
savage struggle for selfish ad-
vantage.
Darwinism ends in self-destruc-
ton. 1t is so brutal that II
shocks the moral sense-the heart
recoils from il and refuses to apply

DaTwinism ehthrones sci

The summation OF his argument
is. I'VE are not the progeny OF

Commenting on the effect or
