made Look; Darwin's Christ was no
bOdy-he had an ape for his ancestor on
both his fathers and his mothers side.
Evolution gives no hope In the present
crisis: It would rob Christ OF the glory
Of a virgin birth, Of the majesty o. His
deity snd OF the trump Of His resurrec-
ton. Such a Christ Is impOtent to save.
No man aspiring to be a god can meet
the needs of today-they require a god
understanding to be a man."
Bryan declared that the Christian
Church must rise TO the full height Of
its great mission" and that man has in
him not the blood Of the beast, but the
breath of the Almighty and that man
sis on earth for 4 purpose and the worlds
destiny is IN his hands"
DEFINES POINTS
r OF CONTROVERSY
In defining three points Of the con-
tTOversy on DaFvtnisin, Bryan said IN
part;
First: The ministry. as a calling.
must be considered fully equal iu dig
nifty and Importance to any other line Of
activity. We might even claim more for
the ministry, but 1 desire to state these
propositions so conservatively that they
will compel acceptance.
The preacher deals with the science
Of how to live. the most important %
all the sciences. While 1t is desirable
that man should understand ali the
sciences, u IS necessary that he shall
understand the science OF how TO live.
IF one had to choose between this science
and geology, for instance, it is more i'm
pOrtant 10 know the Rock Of Ages than
TO know the age OF rocks. Noble men
and women lived before a book on geol-
Ogy was ever written; a knowledge Of
geology. useful as it is, does not insure
nobility OF character.
THE preacher deals with the heart,
out OF which are the issues OF life while
the teacher dealers with the mental ma
chine which We call the mind. Morality
IS the basis OF society and morality
rests on the heart, not upon the mind.
The mind has no morality; It win plot
a murder as cOmplacentIy as II will plan
O service 70 society. The mind IS the
servant OF the heart-it finds reason
for doing what the heart wants to do.
A trained mind IS more dangerous than
n unframed mind. unless It has an en-
lghtened heart 20 direct its energy. The
minister deals with the unseen and eter-
nal things, which the teacher deals with
the things which are visible and tenn
poral-
CHURCH STANDS
FOR SOUL EQUALITY.
- The Christian church stands for
the equality OF sOuls-all souls are alike
precious in the sight Of God. Christ
died for all and His appeal is 10 all
Come unto Ne. all ye that labor and
are heavy Iaden-we established no
literary test for salvation. He Himself
was reared in n carpenter shop: fisher
fms Tor ssrI,
TO be his associates and apOstles-"The
common people heard Him gladly.
Christs church today must stand upon
ths same broad foundation; diplomas
cannot be required with applications fOI
membership. Only about > per cent OF
the Nations students ever enter a col.
lcge or university and only about 10
per cent enter high school. The church
encourages education but does not re.
Quire 1t. A church that appealed only
70 the so-called intelligen would be
neither large nor useful. Christianity
Is for all who will hear Christ's call
and accept His salvation.
"S. A controversy between honest adj
Vocates OF conflicting doctrines should
be candid and frank. Politicians make
their campaigns for public support on
written platforms defining their views
preachers and professors who believe In
evolution can hardly do less Darwin
has applied evolution to man and the
family tree outlined by him I'm the only
one that has any considerable number
OF supporters EvOlutiCaists should,
therefore, be willing 10 define evolution
80 they understand Il and give us their
family tree as they believe Il to be- II
they believe that they are descended from
apes let them put 1t into writing and
sign 1t, whether they are proud OF It or
merely believe Il because they think they
must II they think they are descended
from some other animal let them name
It. II they reject the Mosaic account Of
creation and deny that man was made
By separate act and IN the Image OF God
let them frankly tell us to what brute
or bird, or reptile. or fish, or insect they
pay their respect on Fathers day. II
Darwin's line OF descent Is worth &C.
eepting It Is worth stating.
OPPONENTS OF EVOLUTION
ANNOUNCE BELIEF.
'The opponents Of evolution do NOT
hesitate to announce their belief in the
Bible account Of creation, and, believing
IN the miracle OF creation. they believe In
the other miracles recorded In the
Scriptures, including the virgin birth Of
Christ and the resurrection. Those who
follow Darwin should be frank enough
to tell Us whether like Darwin, they call
themselves agnostics. deny that there has
ever been any revelation, reject the
deity OF Christ and refuse to express an
opinion as TO a life beyond.
