Jimmy Banahan, himself, squirmed
through off tackle for the touch

ball for the point after the first
touchdown and McCrillis also
kicked wide of the uplights after

This splendid overhead play

playing of the visitors in the

LECTURER TALKS
TO SCHOOL PATRONS
Evolution as Foreign to Re
ligion as Socialism,
He Says.

Parents Of high school pupils com
prtsed the major portion of an audience
at a lecture on evolution at the ODD
Fellows hall yesterday.
The lecturer was c. D. Nicholson, or
Chicago, and he spoke under the aus
otces of the international Bible Students
Association.
Nicholson said that evolution is not
part of any science and should be re-
garded by high school and university
teachers as theory. He said the teach
ing of the theory was destructive to
religious training because evolution is
essentially agnostic-
He quoted former President woodrow
Wilson as declaring that evolution is
one OF the disuses OF science and the
base OF attacks upon the Bible and
Christian doctrines.
ANY attempt by min 'ster ~ the
gospel 10 co-relate the Christian religion
and the theory OF evolution Is absurd,
said Nicholson. 1T IS not scientific. IT
IS not reasonable and II is not support
ed by geology or any other science. II
is In conflict with the Bible and can
not be cOuntenanced in our schools un-
less we are willing 10 have the Christ
ian training of our children undermin-
ed"
Nicholson marshaled evidence from
the great writer's and many scientists
to support his contentious. He said IL
was as easy to co-relate socialism and
religion as Darwinism and religion.
THE theory of evolution is accepted
by the agnostic world and II Is q sad
commentary upon our clergy that they
do not denounce it," declared Nichoi-
son TT would be as sensible for our
teachers to read Karl Marx and advo-
cate his theory and say that IT accords
with the constitution of the United
states Evolution is as foreign to the
Bible as Karl Marx is to the principles
OF American government"
Tho frog the ish a chicken and
dog are distinct species and always have
been he declared. There is absolute
~ no evidence that they were volved
from one original species. There is no
evidence that the human race has evol-
we'd as a distinct species. Specimens
of men and women preserved in. the
ruins of former civilizations show that
they were superior physically 60 our
present race and the art and literature
of old Rome and Greece have never been
eQu ualed. The theory of evolution has
been knocked into cooked hat"
