Evolution, Morals and the Bible

Fitting men into a place in the
general family tree of animals is not
humiliating, nor dangerous to morals.
1t does not lower man in the, least;
1t leaves him just the same as before,
with all his distinctive and remark
able qualities. A great artist may
have very commonplace cousins. but
he is great artist just the same.
Mans duties and opportunities cor
respond to his abilities and are not
abated one whit by the fact of his
having cousins less highly endowed.
All that sort of objection to evolu-
ton is not common sense, to say the
least. If the brotherhood of all men
is humane conception. the cousin
hood of man and animals is no less
so. Once we see that man has an
organic place in nature, we have a
sense of being at home in the natural
world that Is great satisfaction and,
believe, a great spiritual gain.
But 1t may finally be asked, what
does the Bible teach regarding evolu-
tion?' 1t is fair to say that the Bible
never raises the question, and conse-
quently can not be expected to fur
nish anything like direct answer.
The answer, at the best, would have
to be read into some passages by i'm
plication and would always be open
to various interpretations. If any
thing is clear in reading the Bible.
it is that we have here a religious
book, a book concerned with mans
religious life, and not with natural
science. 1t is not a treatise on
biology any more than a treatise on
astronomy or chemistry or arithme-
tic. 1t leaves these fields entirely
aside. How unfair to the Bible,
then, how prejudicial to it's continued
influence, to lug it in and attempt
to extort an answer from it on mat
tiers which it does not discuss and
which lie outside of it's chosen field

TELLS WOMEN OF ECONOMY
PLANS WHICH ACTS AS BRAKE

Minnesota taxpayers have friend

Minnesota women, gathered at their
second annual post graduate course
for women voters" the Institute of
Government and Politics, at the St.
Paul hotel.
I'm the past all hearings on appro-
prlatlons have been one-sided," the
governor said "The pressure all has
come from the departments, wanting
to spend the money. Now we have
department in touch with the finan-
ces OF the state, and with the purpose
only OF saving money for the tax
payers. At all hearings on appropri-
atoms this department will have a
representative at the table, if need
be to- oppose appropriation requests. :"
1he new state system has proved
its worth already, the governor told
the women and has stopped numbe~
OF small leaks in the state treasury.
The real results in money saving
economy will begin to show at the
end OF the present fiscal year next
june, he said, and the test will come
IN the next biennial budget to be sub

The best meat obtainable in the

Red Cross First Aid
Popular in America
AS Accidents GAR,

The rapidly mounting toll from
traffic accidents has brought home to
the public the necessity of being pre-
pared to render prompt assistance
while awaiting the doctor. During the
past year 356 chapters of the Ameri
can Red Cross were instructing
classes in First Aid, and in the same
period certificates were issued to
2G.601 persons qualified by Red Cross
experts.
Many cities throughout the United
States are showing interest in secur-
ing first aid instruction for their po-
lice and fire department personnel,
and through the work of local chap
ters, practical results have been OBJ
tanned in such cities as Washington,
D c.; Toledo. O.; Boston, Mass;
South Bend and Indianapolis, Ind;
Port Arthur, Texas, and other commu-
mites In cooperation with the State
authorities, intensive training in first
aid and rescue methods has been
given to State police and constabulary
members at four State training
schools. -
Instruction in these subjects in
public and private schools. colleges.
and universities has increased during
the year. Attention has been. given to
training teachers at Institutes and
simmer schools.

has been in continuous operation
throughout the year. It covered
