lens they cannot cast their ballot in
diligently. Their training in club
work has fitted them in a measure to
take their places in the world of af-
fairs as they should. Suffrage has had
broadening effect on women, making
them better mothers, better citizens
and more tolerant
Mrs. A. p. Villaret, first vice-presi-
dent Of the WOman's Club, believes
that suffrage has opened up a won
derful field for women
SCORES DAZZLING
But they should do the things they
can do best" Mrs. Villaret believes.
They are inclined to 'dabble' too
much, and as a rule do not take ad-
vantage Of the things offered them.
There are not enough women voters.
They, like men, wait until the last
minute to get their poll taxes. Many
are too prone TO offer adverse criti-
cism rather than criticism that would
build up. They should devote their
efforts TO prison reform, education
anu hlmliaf problems.
Women are proud Of the standard
bearers Of suffrage" declared MrS.
Wheeler Pettus, member Of the San
Antonio school board. But We wO-
men haven't accomplished as much
as we should. We are still handi-
capped by being in the minority. the
men still hand US out the trivial work
to do.
REPRESENTATION NEEDED.
We need better representation, par
ticularly in educational affairs and
the things that affect the welfare Of
women and children. Until this is
granted nc can accomplish little. In
! some lines Of work men are better
qualified, but in those lines where
women are better qualified, they
should be recognized"
The greatest achievement Of wO-
man suffrage is that it has given
women more poise, better sense OF

the community and courts" said Mrs.
J. X. Beretta, prominent clubwOman
and civic worker. We are now

In some states she asserted. women

slashed all over the country. Yester-
day in eastern territory, the cut was
three cents a gallon. In the Middle
West many buy gas under IA cents.
1t makes a big difference TO those
that count the cost of living and

1t means nothing to the big men,
they don't care what gasoline costs.
And many Of them, owning oil
stocks, feel rather sad. A three-cent
cut in gas may mean a $50 drop in

BELFAST
Gift TO Girls Home

Frederick W. Pitcher Of Los An
geles has presented to the Children
Aid Society of Maine, through the
president, Mrs. Evelyn Frost, gift
of $4,000 in memory of his sister,
the late Mrs. Fred Griffin, formerly
Miss Annie H. Pitcher, who was a
president Of the Society about ~
years ago. Mr.. Pitcher makes the
stipulation that this gift shall be
used exclusively for the benefit of
the Girls Home in Belfast, which
the Society maintains.
The announcement of this gift
was made by Mrs. Frost and friends
throughout the State, who are in
terested in the home for girls and
their welfare will be much interest
ed. The Girls Home is one of the
most important of the local insti-
tutions and during its years of ex-
istence and usefulness has sheltered
hundreds of girls from all over
Maine, many of them orphans, given
them careful training, sent them to
the public schools, and graduating
many of them from the high school,
competent to earn their own living.
Many have also been placed in per-
manent homes, many have been
adopted and others have gone out
into the world well fitted to cope
with life. all because of this Chill
dren's Aid Society of Maine and its
institution, The Girls Home of Bel
fast.
For many years Mrs. Elizabeth B.
Bracket was field secretary and de-
voted practically all her time to its
interests and since her death Mrs.
Annie M. Craig has carried on the
work. She travels many miles a
year, looking after children who
need the shelter of the home and
also placing girls in families. This
is never done without the most
careful investigation of all condi-
lions.
The generous gift of Mr.. Pitcher,
a former Belfast man, who has never
lost interest in his old home
although for many years a resident
of the West coast, is deeply ap-
preciated by all who have an inter-
est in the Girls Home or in the
lives of the little girls of Maine

Editors Letter Box


Bowdoinham, Me, July 81, 1925.
Editor Kennebec Journal,
Augusta, Maine.
My Dear Sir:
When there is so much being writ
ten and said regarding Darwinism
and such a national, or we might say
world interest, taken in the trial in
the little town of Dayton, Tennessee,
it may be of more than passing int
crest to some of your readers to know
something of Professor Darwin's last
days. We quote the following from
the California Voice; the editor, with
whom the writer is personally &C
quainted, vouches for the authen-
ITCHY of this remarkable story.
Here is the story of that remark
able Lady Hope of Northtield, Eng
land:
1T was on one of those glorious
autumn afternoons, that we some
times enjoy in England, when / was
asked to go in and sit with the WELL
known professor Charles Darwin.
He was almost bedridden for some
months before he died. l used to
feel when / saw him that his fine
presence would make a grand pic
ture for our Royal Academy; but
never did l think so more strongly
than on this particular occasion.
He was sitting up in bed. wearing
a soft embroidered dressing gown of
rather a rich purple shade.
"Propped up by pillows, he was
gazing out on a far-stretching scene
of woods and cornields, which
glowed in the light of one of those
marvellous sunsets which are the
beauty of Kent and Surry. His
noble forehead and fine features
seemed to be lit up with pleasure as
l entered the room.
He waved his hand toward the
window as he pointed out the scene
beyond, while in his other hand he
held an open Bible, which he was
always studying.
"'What are you reading MOVE? l
asked as l seated by his bedside.
Hebrews" he answered-'still
Hebrews. The Royal Book" l call
it. Isn't it grard?' Then, placing his
finger on certain passages, he COM
mented on them.
Il made some aIlusion to the strong
opinions expressed by many persons
grandeur, and then their treatment
of the earlier chapters of the Book
of Genesis.
He seemed greatly distressed. his
fingers twitched nervously, and a look
of agony came over his face as he
said
was young man with I'M
formed ideas. l threw out queries,
suggestions. wondering all the time
over everything; and to my aston
ishment the ideas took like wildfire
People made religion of them.
Then he paused, and after a few
more sentences on the Holiness of
God and the grandeur of this Book ;
looking at the Bible which he was
holding tenderly all the time, he
suddenly said:
"I have a summer house in the
garden which holds about thirty
people. 1t is over there pointing
through the open window. L want
you very much to speak there l
know you read the Bible in the VIII
lagos. Tomorrow afternoon. should

tenants and few of the neighbors

to gather there. Will you speak
to them?'
"'What shall l speak about?' I
asked.
"'Christ Jesus he replied in a
clear, emphatic voice, adding in a
lower tone, and his salvation. Is not
that the best theme? And then 1
want YOU to sing some hymns with
them. You lead on your small in
strument do you not?'
1.-The wonderful look of brightness
and animation on his face as he said
this l shall never forget, for he
added:
IF you take the meeting at three
o'clock this window will be open, and
you will know that l am joining in
with the singing
How l wished that could have
made a picture of the fine old man
and his beautiful surroundings on
that memorable day."
The above facts are certainly food
for serious thought among those who
are quoting and sometimes misquot-
ing Darwin, and who are trying to
tear down the great and good inf1u-
ence of the Old Book which influence

everyone who will take heed to its
fundamental teachings, especially
those wonderful words of the Man
of Galilee.
Trusting YOU will find space for
this in your valued paper, l am

Now although the Kind Farmer
had quit moving the Sunny Meadow
Until the rain clouds should disap-
pear and Mr.. Merry Sun once more
shine down from the Blue Sky Coun-
try, Jimmie Meadowmouse made up
his mind that he had better look for
new home. 1t would be foolhardy
to wait until his little grass house
tumbled down on his head and all
the safe tunnels under the long grass
were uncovered. 1t would be very
hard to hide in the short stubble and
there were too many enemies always

away nice fat mouse. So early the
next morning Jimmie Meadowmouse
scampered through his many tunnels
until he came to the bank of the
Bubbling Brook, on the other side
of which lay the Pleasant Pasture.
In the distance on a rise of ground
stood the Old Brush Heap, covered
with trailing vine, under which
Cousin Cottontail lived with her
small family in a comfortable bunga-
low.
Dear me sighed the little mouse
"how safe it looks. Here I am, driven
from my nice nest in the grass. What
had I better do?" and he looked about
him. If he had only glanced up in
the sky he would have seen some
thing that would have made him
SILVER. Yes, way up high, looking
down with his keen eyes, was Hun
cry Hawk. The next minute he spied
the little mouse, and down he came.
Look out! Look out" shouted
Bobbie Redvest from a nearby tree.
Without a moments delay, into the
Bubbling Brook jumped Jimmie
Meadowmouse, and swimming away,
hid among this tall thick water
grasses.
"Botheration," exclaimed Hungry
Hawk, just missing the nimble little
mouse. I've lost a good breakfast"
I'm glad you have" sang Bobbie
Redvest
From the apple tree.
why don't you dine on seeds and
fruit
Like other folks and me?"
Don't talk nonsense angrily an
swered Hungry Hawk, as he winged
away. Mice and little birds are good

No Conflict With Bible
Found by Smaller Matthews

| L HTe was InuCn OF interest mani
| tested by the public in the statements
of the scientists before the court at
Dayton, Tenn, in connection with the
trial of the Scopes case.
The statement OF Smaller Matthews,
dean of the Divinity school, UNIVERSE
! ty, Chicago, will be of especial inter-
est to some of our readers. who recall
him as student and later as profess
sor at Colby.
The following from his statement
makes clear the grounds on which he
bases his conclusion that there is no
necessary conflict between evolution
and the Bible: "A correct under
standing of Genesis shows that its ac-
count of Creation is no more denied
by evolution than it is by the laws of
light, electricity and gravitation.
The Bible deals with religion.
There are two accounts in Genesis of
the Creation of Man. They are not
identical and at points differ widely.
1t would be difficult to say which is
the teaching of the Bible The aim of
both, however, is clear and wonder
fully inspired.
Each shows that God created
man. and how man differs from beasts
in resembling God. in that he pos
S~S'1SS ~ iioi al Gnu spiritual nature.
I'm the first account in Genesis it
Is said God made beasts, cattle and
all creeping things by having the
earth bring them forth as living crea-
lures. The Hebrew expression here
used, "nephesh chayah." is the same
as that used in the second chapter of
Genesis to describe man when created.
The Breath of Life
The first story then continues with
the crea ton by God of man in the Di-
vine image, male and female being
created on the sixth day. In the sec
ond account God is said to have
formed man from the dust of the
ground and to have breathed into him
tho breath of life.
Man thus became a living soul.
In the Hebrew the same word is used
as that previously used to describe
the animals which the earth brought
forth.
This living creature, Adam. is
placed by God in a garden which he
is to till. He is forbidden to eat of
the Tree of knowledge Of Good and
Evil. He, however, disobeys and eats
the fruit. God then declares that man
has become one of us, knowing good
and evil
Genesis thus says that an animal
life. produced by God from the earth
by his spirit, came to be like God
through development born of expe-
rlence. Thus, so far from opposing
the Genesis account of the Creation of
man. the theory of evolution in some
degree resembles it.
But the Book of Genesis is not in
tended to teach science, but to teach
the activity of God in nature and the
spiritual value of man.
The theory of evolution is an at
tempt to explain the process in detail
1t does not take place in a vacuum,
but in an environment in which is
God. Genesis and evolution are COM
Elementary to each other. Genesis

and science the details of the process
