At~ack on Religion
The real attack Of evolution. Mr..
Bryan held, however, to be not upon
Christianity but upon religion, the
most basis fact in mans exist, -
and the most practical thing nv lie.
Clarence Darrow and his conduct
of the defense in the Leopold Loeb
murder case brought lengthy criti-
cism from the fundamcntaIist cham
rion under the question he asked;
DO bad doctrines corrupt the
morals Of students -
Mr.. barrow thinks the universe
t;cs are in duty bound to feed out
this poisonous stuff to their students
and when the students become stupi-

Mr.. Bryan went into discus ion
of scicncc, declaring that science "lS
Il magnificent material force, but 1t
is not Il teacher of morals" and that
evolution is at war with religion be
cause religion is supernatural. he
claimed that science needs religion
to inspire with lofty purpose those
who employ the forces that are I'M
looscd by science. Christianity, ne
said, cannot remain indifferent.
Mr.. Bryan said that religion is
not hostile to learning, for mankind
is deeply indebted to science for
benefits conferred by the discovery
of laws of nature and the Designing
Of machinery for the utilization ot
these laws.
