many new and attractive fields. Eager minds
have pushed ahead, proving the secrets of existence,

FAITH BY LEGISLATION
(Florida Times-Union.)

An anti-Darwinism bill has been introduced in
the Legislature of Kentucky. 1t provides that
"Darwinism, atheism, agnostcism or evolution as
pertains to the origin of man shall not be taught
in schools maintained or partly maintained by
state money" There is talk of introducing SIM
liar bill in the Florida legislature except that
the Florida bill would prohibit such teachings
whether the schools were sustained by the state
or not.
The narrow-mindedness of the promoters of this
bill is shown by the fact that it groups Darwin
ism, atheism agnosticism and evolution together.
Of course 1t acknowledges a degree of distinction
between these different "isms" it would not
mention each of them separately. But it implies
similarity between things that in no way
connected. Darwin believed that life came through
evolution instead of by direct act of creation
by which everything was made complete by the
Creator. 1t is not akin to atheism. 1t does not
deny the existence of Creator though it believes
the Creator worked through laws. 1t is a fact
worth considering that in the account of creation
given in the Book of Genesis the Creator is
represented saying, Let the sea bring forth
life of its kind and let the land bring forth life
of its kind" thus indicating that life developed
from the waters and the land and the air.
The agnostic does not deny the existence of
God. He simply refuses to express an opinion
on subjects that his reason cannot handle. He
merely says: my mind cannot grasp that dc
not know"
Many Christians accepted as orthodox be-.
eve in the Darwinian theory. In fact the mind
of the church is not arrayed against that theory
The only thing arrayed against it is the ignorance
of the church. Possibly the advocates of his bill
do not wish their family trees to be examined
too far but we should think man would not be
ashamed to have grown through development
from the lower animals. He should be better
pleased with evidence that he has improved than
that he has retrograded
The natural sequence of legislation as to habits
is legislation as to opinions. Possibly the mean.
ing of the Greek word baptze will be cleared up
by legislation. Some churches hold that it means
to immense while others claim it means to i'm.
merse or to sprinkle. If the legislature of Ken
lucky or of Florida should settle this question,
it would put an end to much argument

miami Herald.)

1t is to be noted that here and there in the state
press there come indications that some of the
papers are preparing to support Mr. Bryans can.
i?dacy Tor the United States senatorship against
Senator Trammell, who it is to be supposed, will
be a candidate to succeed himself
Mr.. Bryan has made no announcement that he
proposes to be candidate, neither has he denied
nat lie will be in the race Northern papers seem
TO assume that his candidacy is a certainty and
are making their comments in accordance with
their sentiments toward Mr.. Bryan
Naturally the question will occur to the people
OF FLORIDA as to any reason there may be for
changing senators at this time. Certainly, the
reasons for dispensing with the services of one
VINO has served term in the senate should he
strong ones in order to induce the people to
make change.
The policy Of Florida has been to continue both
her senators and members of the house a long
time IN those bodies. Changes have not been
made except when extremely good reasons were
advanced, and it may be assumed that the people
nave not changed their attitude in that regard.
While Mr.. Bryan has been interested in Florida
Tor number of years and Miami is delighted to
call him one of her citizens, he has not been a
citizen for year yet, and in spite of his position
in the country may reasonably be called a new.
conner.
