TTARRIsON W. NOEL, sub
normal youth aged 20, ran
away from an insane asylum,
Killed a taxicab driver and little
girl. The young mans lawyer told
the jury that he was insane, "af-
flicted by the hand Of God"
The jury decides that he was suf-
ficiently sane to be killed by the
electric chair. That will happen UNI
less some higher authority changes
the arrangement.
BIOLOGISTS will tell you that
- Providence does not deserve the
horrible accusation, afflicted by the
hand Of God" and common sense
tells you that a just omnipotent,
merciful being ruling the universe
would not voluntarily "afflict"
boy of 20 with insanity, causing him
TO murder a man and little child that
had done no wrong.
EVERYTHING in the visible uni
- verse from the egg Of any oyster
to the big alderman is made up of
fewer than 100 different elements"
or substances.
A few are missing, and two scien-
lists, Jaraslav Heyrovsky, and Pro-
fessor Dolejsek, announced the dis
covery Of one more which they call
"Dvimagan."
THAT new word, "Dvimagan,"
i will live millions Of years after
every language now spoken shall
have completely vanished from use
and memory.
knowledge and intellectual power
are INTERNATIONAL, independent
of race. 1t Is well to remind the
world, nursing its racial hatred, that
the six greatest minds in mathematics
and astronomy were born of six diff
ferent races-Copernicus, a Pole;
Tycho Brahe, a Dane of Swedish an
cestry, Keppler, German; Calico,
Italian; Descartes, French; Newton,
greatest of them all in pure mathe-
mates, British.
THE law works in different ways,
I even when you try to make it
work all one way. While moron
escaped from the lunatic asylum and
is sentenced to death, Plat May, a
Ute Indian, is acquitted of murder.
The. Indians wife died when the
baby was IL days old, and the baby
had pneumonia. The Indian tied the
bodies Of wife and baby together and
buried them in the same grave, the
baby sliye.
Plat May wns acquitted because
medicine man, Mormon joe" told
him to do il, and he obeyed through
fear. There was reason for fear.
Mormon Joe," while in Jail, beat to
death a fellow prisoner who spoke
lightly Of him.
THE REV. H. r, A. PHILIP,
+. 1 20 years a Presbyterian minis
ter at Tumu Tumu, in East Africa,
says, ain the jungle, human babies
learn to swing from tree to tree
almost before they can crawl. have
seen convincing proof of the evo-
luton theory many times among the
wild tribes in East Africa"
VOU need not 80 to East Africa
i TO see babies able to climb q
tree. Every baby, for a consider
able time after birth, will easily sup
port its weight clinging to your
finger or to a small piece Of wood.
Every mother knows how a small
baby grasps the mothers hair and
holds on. Evolutionists tell you that
goes back to q time when the little
monkey chung TO the fur on its
mothers chest, while the mother hop
ped from tree to tree.
THAT'S what evolutionists say.

form opinions, but let missionaries
and scientists deal with it.
ETHEL BUNNELL, a young girl
IL in the University of Illinois,
beat IS men in a cattle judging
competition, and that isn't surpris-
ing.
Women had to be good judges of
animals TO exercise discretion in pick
ing out their husbands. Nature has
given them power to see clearly and
form sound judgment at a glance.
Many husband who thinks he did
the picking was in reality the one
picked by natural born judge of
livestock.
