II HAVE received from Mr..

the American Association for the
Advancement Of Atheism, a pro-
test against my saying, in a
recent article, that ''the name
chosen, a duplication of that OF
the American Association for the
Advancement OF Science, reveals
the thought and purpose behind.
1t is plainly and even avowedly
intended to propagate the false
notion that science is opposed to
religion"

that had we selected a name with

action would be dishonest"
He then goes on to say that
the name originally chosen was
"The American Association of
Atheists" but that, having seen
an advertisement Of the National
Association for the Advancement
Of Colored People, the word lad

nified and suitable" and upon his
suggestion, after considerable de-
bate and a delay over night, that
word was included, and so the
title became American Associa.

My readers, if they want to,
can defend themselves against
that implication, which / have
not the slightest doubt does in
justice to the great majority Of
them, but what are we to think

How can they persuade the
people that religion cannot exist
in the presence Of science? What
right have they to speak for
science who never heard the
name Of its most widely repre-

However, l accept, of course,
Mr.. HopwOod's statement about
