THEORY OF
EVOLUTION
DEFENDED
Herbert Quick Says Bible Ac-
count of Creation Is
Not Scientific.
By HERBERT QUICK

A N eastern clergyman recently
~ said IN a sermon entitled Shall
= the Monkey Theory be Exploited
as Truth in the Public Schools" IF
this doctrine (evolutionl is true. we
should have no hesitation in accepting
H., for truth is a sacred thing"
Also, he said. THE strongest
evidence of the monkey theory is the
antics Of some Of it's enthusiastic ad
vocates. They display a zeal worthy
Of a better cause in their frantic
efforts to prove their simian an
cestry."
This clergyman protested against
teaching of the doctrine Of evolution
because 1t is a speculation I'M
supported by history, science or phi
lcsophy.
Theory Is Dignifed
No one acquainted with the
literature which supports the belief
almost universal among biologists
that the theory of evolution is a true
explanation of life. would charge the
evolutionists have ever cut any
monkey-like capers or perpetrated
antics In their efforts to prove their
sim1an ancestry. Beginning with
Darwin and Wallace. the evolutionary
theory has been put forth and sup,
ported on the whole with a perfect
dignity and restraint The spirit has
been that Of a patient search for that
which we agree with the clergyman.
is sacred.
They have gathered together a great
mass of facts, all Of which. after being
carefully examined, seem to prove
man Is the product of evolution from
a lower form OF nfe-not necessarily
IRON monkeys. but from lower form
Of some sort.
II the facts relating to life are pre-
scented to students in schools and col
leges. the pupils will necessarily be
impressed with evolution as their
explanation.
Race of IgnOrsInuseS
Firing evolutionists from the teach
ing body will not change the status of
the matter, and the suppression Of the
facts will only produce a race Of
ignoramuses
The Scriprural account Of creation
is not a scientific document. It does
not explain the facts. 1t was not in.
tended TO do so. And unless facts
which have produced our race of evo.
lutionists are otherwise explained.
they will make evolutionists every
day in the future. in spite Of all the
pulpits and fundsmentalists in the
world. If this result is not to follow.
those opposed to evolution must face
the facts. For evolution is now the
only explanation there is. Not to ac.
cept this challenge is to follow a doc
trine Of darkness.

Science

The discovery OF how to treat dia.
oa;as with insulin. like more i'm
pcrtant scientific discoveries, was not
the work of any one man or any one
period. Drs. Baning and Best, now
famous for their work in this respect,
concluded in a remarkably efficient
manner the work Of a long line of
predecessors. In the same manner
Drs. Luckhardt and Carter discov-
cred the remarkable new anesthetic
called ethylene.
Scientists Of this type" says the

citation. display the greatest at.
tribute necessary for the successful
research worker-the vision to see be.
