LETTERS FROM OUR READERS

sudden we are advised to pay cash
for everything. ! just heard today
that in Cumberland, Maryland, $4,000
was collected for the Red Cross, and
millions all over the state. Is that
money used to pay officers of the Red
Cross? 1t looks like a shame. We
received letters from acquaintance
asking if we needed help. We wrote
no, the Red Cross and state take care
of us. And suppose thousands have
done the same. Now this report is
out, money on the strength of such
report is collected, we have to pay
cash for everything, and If we have no
cash what then? Does the salary for
Red Cross have to come first. Some
graft! Do not tell my name, just say

LAST WORDS ON. EVOLUTION
BY ERNEST HAEcKEL

Our Monistic system, the connecting
link between religion and science"
brings god and the world into the
unity in the sense that Goethe
willed, the sense that Spinoza clearly
expressed long ago and Giordano
Bruno had sealed with his martyr
dom. It has been said repeatedly Of
late that Goethe was an orthodox
christian. A few years ago young
orator quoted him in support OF the
wonderful dogmas OF the christian
religion. We may point out that
Goethe himself expressly said he was
"a decided non-christian." The great
heather of Weimar" has given the
dearest expression to his Pantheistic
views in his noblest poems, Faust"
"Prometheus," and God and the
World" How could so vigorous a
thinker, in whose mind the evolution
Of organic life ran thru millions of
years, have shared the narrow belief
of Jewish prophet and enthusiast
who sought to give up his life for
humanity 1900 years ago?
Our Monistic God, the all-embracing
essence of the world, the Nature-god
Of Spinzona and Goethe, is identical
with the eternal, all-inspiring energy,
and is one, in eternal and infinite sub
stance, with space-fllling matter. 1t
lives and moves in all things" az
the gospel says. And as we see that.
the law of substance is universal, that
the conversation of matter and Of
energy is inseparably connected, and
that the ceaseless development of this
substance follows the same eternal
iron laws" we find god in natural law
itself. The will Of god is at work in
every falling drop of rain and every
growing crystal, in the scent of the
rose and the spirit of man.
