to be done in local politics, and it is
a fine apprenticeship to central gov
ernment. Local politics are very prac-
tical, and | think that, although prac-
tical, they are too near to be attrac-
tive. The things that are far away
are more apt to catch our eye than the
ones which are just under our noses; ;
then, too, they are less disagreeable.
Political development is like all 9th
er developments. We must begin
with ourselves, our own consciences,
and clean out our own hearts before
we take on the job of putting others

men put our hands to local politics,
we begin the foundations. After all.

the Century Dictionary, its fundamen-
tai meaning is this:
"a traditional story in which the
operations of natural forces and oc-
currences in human history are rep
resented as the actions of individual
living beings. especially of men, or of
imaginary extra-human beings acting
like men: a tale handed down from
primitive times, and in form histori-
cal, but in reality involving elements
of early religious views, as respect
ing the origin of things, the powers of
nature and their workings, the rise of
institutions, and the like; legend of
cosmogony, of gods and heroes, and
of animals possessing wondrous
gifts"
Thus, though the issue is by no
means settled, at least the meaning
of a common word is made plain and
that is something. 1t is now in order

EDEN A MYTH?

Gently by Mr.. Bryan-is the question

Legend says third. Another ex-
plains:
Fairy tale and myth as applied
to Genesis are unfortunate terms.
These are sacred stories handed down
from an immature period of the work..
At one time the Garden of Eden story
was a most sacred revelation But
with larger discovery of the truth
has come a larger revelation, so we
feel that the old stories do not ade-
quately explain everything" And fin
ally this from another minister:
''The book of Genesis is a mythical
and poetical statement of a primitive
people of their conception of the ori-
gin of the world l don't think the
Garden of Eden story is entirely lack
ing in historical background. Indeed,
think there is some historical back
ground for all the Genesis stories"

seems to recognize the real meaning
of the word myth" According to
