week, starting today, begin with a
three-day engagement from Sunday to
Tuesday inclusive of the masterpiece
Of thrills and realism, ''The Thunder
ing Herd" probably the most epic
picture of its kind ever produced.
THE laundering Herd at its first
run showing in San Antonio proved
one of the biggest drawing cards ever
to play the Empire, and its Plaza en-
gagement will no doubt be unusually
successful. In the cast of players are
Jack Holt. Lois Wilson and Noah
Berry.
Wednesday and Thursday the Plaza
will show Pola Negri in her colorful
romance, East of Suez." Friday and
Saturday the attraction will be "The
Man Who Fights Alone" featuring
William FFarnum.

No War On Religion
am not treading, either, on
the poor pagans with their idols,
or on the poor savages with their
fetishes and taboos. These, too,
however, are only rude represen-
tatives of what theology itself
processes to be, viz. pure author
ity. The savage theologian says:
This is mystery superior to
nature obey and question notw
The civilized theologian says the
same thing, but he doesn't point
to the same kind Of idol or
fetish; he hides his with the
cloak of invisibility, calls it spirit,
and overlooks the fact that it is
his invitation as much as If it
were made of wood or stone.

the existence, or the power, or
the infinite goodness of God.

do. But think that when an
ancient theological teacher said
God is a spirit" he had said
all that is useful to say about
SOu
As ! have repeatedly said, and
as others have said more au-
thoritatively than l, SCIENCE makes
no war on religion, and only de-
tends itself against the attacks
of theology. But can my esteemed
reader and critic honestly affirm
that the officers and teachers
of dogmatic Christian theology
have confined themselves ito so
innocent and inoffensiVe course
as that of simply discoursing on
the tenets of the Trinity, of trans
suDstantiation, ETC., without op-
posing-even with prison and the
stake-the advance and spread of
science based upon observation,
reason and free thought? IF he
makes such affirmation I appeal
to history.
DOgmatic Theology
Without ransacking libraries,
overwhelming proof of what dog
matte theology has done through
out centuries to oppose and OBJ
struct the progress of scientific
inquiry into the truths of nature
may be found in the two vol
umes. which l have before. cited,
of Andrew D. Whites Warfare
of Science"
Can he deny that dogmatic
theology has accepted and prop
agated the most manifestly fabu-
lous stories and allegories of
the Old Testament as divinely
revealed" facts until forced re-
luctantly and regretfully, to cease
insisting upon them? Take the
so-called revealed dogmas that
he mentions; who worked them
up into their present shape?
How many church councils were
needed, how many laborious con-
situations of doctors of divinity
and fathers of the church,"
How many arguments, accepted
or rejected? How may advances
and recessions of opinion? How
many compromises? How many
ipse dixits? How great influence
exercised by overmastering per-
sonalities? And is there none
even of that despised mature re-
ligion' in the compound product
called 'ReVelation?" Authority,
forsooth. Yes, the multiplication
table is dogmatic, but it's author
ity rests on the fact that it agrees
with nature.
