Cannot Afford to Exchange
Faith for Unsupported Guesses

The need Of the world is to get back
to real faith in n living God. To
Jews. as well as the Gentiles; to the
Catholics. as we'll as Protestants, the
Bible is the basis OF belief in God We
cannot afford to exchange 1t for the
unsupported guesses of evolutionists.
They may say that they have out
grown the necessity for religion mere
~ because they recognize no intelli-
gence higher than their own. The
masses have never accepted the
monkey doctrine. If 1t is monkey or

masses will prefer mud. They are
more familiar with mud than they are
with the monkey, and more dependent
upon II. Out Of the mud comes every
thing they eat and wear; out Of the
mud come all the flowers, with their
beauty and perfume, and to the mud

Prof. Conkln to draw out his graft

lie lavishes upon II? What monkey
embrace can be as inviting to him as

The attitude of these scientific
spectators ought to alarm t!iS Chris
tian people of the nation. A man who
prides himself on coming from jungle
ancestors will speak contemptuously
of those who deal with religion. Prof.
Conlllin. a teacher in Christian col
lege, in his recent article. warns Chris
tians not to try ito confute science by
the Bible" He invokes the names OF
Newton, Copernicus and Gallileo as
he threatens with derision any one
who dares TO question the utterances
of scientists-ignoring the important
difference between scientific truth and
the guesses OF scientists. and ignoring
also tie fact that the Bible deals with
the science of how to live"-the most
important OF the sciences"
1t is time for the spiritual leaders
OF the nation-Christian and Jewish,
Catholic and Protestant--to resent the
arrogance OF the men of science who
swagger along and push the preacher
and priest off the sidewalk, as army
officers were once inclined to do in
the countries where militarism was
rampant. The scientist has an impor-
tant work to do, but it must be re-
membered that he deals with tenn
porai things, while the exponent of re-
1tsxt1 l.. ~
dure-"the things that are seen are
temporal. the things that are unseen
are eternal" Those who deal with the
ideals that control life are not to be
sneered at by those who train the
mental machine; the mind Is not only
useless but may be dangerous with
out a high purpose to direct it's en-
ergy. We have had enough OF intel
lectual snobbery in this and other
countries. Education Is not an end
1t is a means to an end. The evolu
ZIONIST will have to come down to the
earth and deal with his fellow men
as if they were his equals. God made
men cannot be scorned out OF exist
ence or ey en- into silence by those who
boast OF ape ancestry.
No one objects to truth, whether it
be discovered by a scientist or by
any one else. But II Is unreasonable
to assume that an hypothesis must
be true because 1t is advanced by one
who calls himself a scientist But a
small percentage of the working hy-
potheses advanced by scientists have
been proven true: the great majority
OF these hypotheses have been demon
strated to be false and have been
abandoned. Huxley thought he had
found protoplasm and went so far as
to give it a Latin name. but he after

led Darwin himself from faith TO ag-
nosticism. In youth he believed in
God. in the Bible, in Christ and in i'm
mortality; in his old age he declared
himself an agnostic and denied the ex-
istence OF any revelation-which BAN
ished Christ, as well as the Word Of
God. He refused to express himself
on the subject of immortality. When
he announced his hypothesis (the Ori-
gin OF NAM he thought that the
lone or a few germs OF life" were
planted on earth by the Almighty.
This belief he afterward abandoned
and did not attempt to explain the ori-
gin of life-leaving the theist and the
atheist to dispute over "the beginning
of all things"

the period that extends from the pres

atheist that Gods activity begins
where mans imagination ends. 1t is

diluted by the time it gets to man that
it will have little control over his

biologists insist, man is nothing but

to us through lower forms OF life 1T is
easier to excuse wrongdoing on the
ground that man is a child OF fate
than to hold him responsible for sin or
vice or crime. Evolution paralyzes
mans consciousness OF responsibility
and blots out his thought OF here
after with its rewards and punish
ments. This is not only the natural
effect of evolution when applied to
man, but it is the actual effect as
shown by investigation.

The Present State of Socialism
Brings Into Play New Labels

Party alignments were disturbed by
revolution. 1t has brought new po-
l!tical labels into use. such as Revolu-
tionary Socialists. Moderate Social
lists, Evolutionary Socialists, Guild
Socialists, Possibilists, &c.
The question whether or not the
Bolshevist regime in Russia is an ex-
hibition OF Marxism in actual prac-
tice is a matter of controversy. but II
is of record that Marx held that I'VE
must finally have recourse to vio-
lence," and the revolution must be
universal"
So far as one can Judge the char
acter OF the present Russian Govern
ment from its literature it appears to
be an unfiinching attempt to give ef-
feet to MARKHAM principles. At present
Bolshevism and socialism are pitted
against one another in European poll
tics as furious enemies. Hence the
term Socialist" has ceased to suggest
revolutionary activity and II appears
to be getting TO be as vague and gen.
orally acceptable a term as demo-
cratic" which in the early days OF our
republic was term OF opprobrium.
In some countries the political leaders
OF our times all seem to have turned
Socialists. each with his own recipe
for producing the genuine article.
There is now n marked tendency In
Europe among old fashioned Socialists
to describe themselves as Commun-
lists and no longer as Socialists. since
that title has lost its original revolu-
tionary significance and has become
an ordinary party label.
In the United States socialism was
never more than a minor party, split
into two irreconcilablc factions. each
OF which at elections numbered the
ballot with it's own distinct list OF can
didates
The Revisionist movement in Ger
many did not have any noticeable ef-
feet on the character OF the American
movement. The Russian revolution
has however split the American So
cialists into wrangling factions. and
rhetoric that used to be concentrated
on the bourgeoisie now blazes for or
against Bolshevsm. The row has had
marked effect in checking Socialist
propaganda in this country. The APP
peal to Reason. the Socialist organ OF
largest circulation, in its issue Of Sep
tembcr 10 1921, declared: For the
first time since its inception in this
country the Socialist movement Is fail

the Socialist movement not only fails
TO meet present needs, but Il is less
effective than II was q decade ago.

Belief in a Supreme Being
Fundamental to All Races

Now as TO Darwinism or evolution
applied to man. What is the effect of
it upon the mind and life? The natural
effect and, as I shall show, the actual
effect is to destroy faith in the Bible
and to weaken belief in God. Belief in
God does not, OF course, rest upon be-
lief in the Bible. People OF all races
and of all time have believed in a SUI
preme Being. although the names ap-
piled to Him have been different and
the conceptions of Him different. Be-
lief in God is fundamental; anything
that destroys or weakens this is de-
structive of civilization. Conscious
ness of responsibility to a higher
power is the basin of civilization,
whether that higher power be known
as Jehovah, Jove or Lord" II in a
day belief in God could be banished
from the minds and hearts of men the
foundation of civilization would be
gone Such security Of life and prop
erty as remained would be merely the
momentum which keeps dead body
in motion for short time.

a political force it is scarcely nee
essary TO go back very far in
time. Socialists themselves distinguish
modern socialism from its precursors
by designating the old socialism as
Utopian and modern socialism as
scientific. This must not be taken to
mean that modern socialism rejects
the ideas and principles of Utopian
socialism. On the contrary. Frederick
Engels, who first made the distinction
and stated it's terms, credits some of
the Utopians-such as Owen in Eng
land, Saint Simon and Fourier in
France-with almost all the ideas of
present day socialism that are not
strictly economic. Engels held that the
Liberal institutions propagated by the
French Revolution were, despite their
fine pretences, a huge swindle OF the
poor. He observed that when the
French philosophers OF the eighteenth
century substituted reason for moral
obligation as the basis of government
this rule of reason was in reality moth
ing more than "the idealized under
standing of the eighteenth century
citizen, just then evolving into the
bourgeois" BY introducing this ra-
tional society and government the
liberalism of the nineteenth century
merely established the rule Of busi-
ness interests.
Scientific Socialism Born
With Marx in 1859
The year 1859 is regarded as an
epoch in the history of Socialism. as
IL was then that wEat is characterized
as Scientific Socialism made Its ap-
pearance. It's founder was Marx, who
in that year published his "Contripu-
tions to the CRITICISM OF Political
Economy" in which work he formu-
lated the ideas which subsequently
he developed in his elaborate treatise
Capital" published eight years later.
Darwin's "origin of Species" was also
published in 1859. The naturalistic
view of human origins suggested by
that work was promptly appropriated
by Marx and this coalescence OF So
cialist dialectic with natural history
has been exhibited as complete tust-
fication OF the claim made by modern
Socialism that II possesses genuine
scientific ckaracter--that IL is no
longer merely an emotional movement
sustained by the benevolent considera-
tions to which the Utopian Socialists
appealed, but IL now rests upon
premises established by strict scien-
ti1c induction from economic history.
Important departures from Marks
theories have taken place among
Socialists but one must have some
notion of Marks teachings before one
can understand what is going on.
The fundamental principle laid
down by Marx is what lie termed "the
Materialist Conception Of History"
for which in ordinary discussion the
term economic determinism" is COM
