saints aid prophets of all times is one
avenue Of truth. The book of nature,
the book of science another. In so far
as both are true, they cannot be in
opposition. -. ....,. .-,
Ny thesis Is that there is no essen.
tial opposition between creation and
evolution. One is the method Of the
other. They are not two processes, but
one gradual one. which can be partial
ly and reverently followed by the hu'
man mind.
We have seen Isaac Newton revo-
lutionized by Einstein. Whether we
shall find they are both true, one sup
plementing the other, remains for
posterity to say. / think 1 see some
indications that that will be the case.
The nebula from which the sun
arose is proceeding on its course of
stellar evolution and we see it today
as the Milk Way. I estimate the
temperature of the interior Of a star
at forty million degrees. How are
we to account for that energy of
radiation? An idea for which great
deal can be said is that the positive
and negative electrons could clash
together in some conditions and turn
into a flash of radiation.
SUN BURNING UP.
Every second the sun is consum-
ing four million tons Of its substance
to make energy. OF course that can
not 90 on forever. 1t is an interest
ing question in arithmetic how long
that will 60 on for on it depends the
habitality of the earth and the future
of the human race.
Following these ideas to their logi-
cal conclusion it would seem that the
Universe is vital and going concern,
must have had a beginning and will
have an end. The beginning, so far
as we can trace it, was the forma-
ton of nebula, two hundred million
years ago.
REMOTE DATE.
The end will apparently be the
disappearance Of matter and the ex-
istence once more of ether filled with
perpetual remnants Of radiation trav-
cling out in all directions at the speed
of light at a date incidentally more
remote than anything l have men,
toned.
Are we right to follow the course
of evolution as a process in time
There are those who think that time
is human abstraction. Are the OPP
erations really a sequence or cock
istent? We started with ether. We
20 through a material process. We
get back to ether. Is there no re-
Operative process at work, the form
alton of matter as well as its de-
struction?
l would urge that creation is con-
tinuous process. We are faced not
with succession but an eternal now.
All things last forever if what / have
been saying is true. But while physi-
cal things last by cyclical change,
spiritual things can advance through
higher and hi her stages towards
perfection. That is the Gaming of
evolution. That is real aim and
purpose of the ultimate and infinite
term, God.

NEW YORK, Jan. 30.-Some forty
~ odd miles from this city, on 4
branch of the Harlem Railroad, is an
institution of learning which differs
so completely in its aim and purpose
from all other American colleges as,
SO it seems to me, to be worthy of
description.
Whereas other colleges are designed
to assist AID render more effective the
ambition of young men and young
women to enter some one Of the pro-
fessions or gain recognition in fl
nancial or commercial fields. this iu-
stitution aims solely so to develop
and train the minds of its students
as to make them efficient and effee-
tive in raising the standard of manual
labor throughout the world.
"Brookwood," which is the name
Of the college, has been in existence
four years, but is comparatively uu-
known outside of the more progressive
of labor circles. 1t is supported by
voluntary contributions. mainly from
donations by international. state or
local trade unions, and has capacity
for 80 resident students.
COURSE IS TWO YEARS.
At present there are 40 students in
attendance, representing eighteen
trade unions. The college proclains
the fact that it was founded to pro-
vide special training for leaders in
the labor and farmer movements" The
members of its faculty-twelve in
number-have all been active in labor
movements, either as officers or work
ers, and are organized as Local $50,
American Federation of Teachers.
The collegiate course is two years
duration, the minimum cost being
5000 a year. But it must not be sup
posed that admission is easy. Stu
dents are accepted only upon endorse.
ment by some labor or farmer organ

faculty or executive board or with the
field representative.
At cost of $3.50 a year any labor
organization may establish a scholar
ship emitting a student to board,
room and laundry for the eigh!
months of the school year. and it is,
think, interesting to know just which

most largely represented in this years

frightful blow to vice. Skirts must
come down"
A few years ago the Literary Di-
gest published a symposium of clergy
men on the proper length Of women's
skirts. These sapient elerics per
mitted themselves to debate just how
far from the shoetop a good woman
could raise her skirt. Some Of them
were cautious enough to make a
reservation that the shoe-tops them
selves must not be too high. And
they signed their names to this fold
erol. And their wives let them.
Yet all that Adam and Eve put on
themselves was a "girdle" Of fig
leaves and all that God himself sewed
for them was coats" of skin. There
was one Translator. Of the Brooches
Bible, who translated "coats" as
"breeches.'
When, oh, when will these busy
bodies and idlenoodles learn the oldest
truth on earth, that concealment is
the chief weapon of coquetry, and
that frank revelation is the one posi-
tive way of sitting impertinent or
indecent prurience?
LEGS COME OUT.
Few people nowadays are wicked or
foolish enough to KEEP children in
ignorance and tell them the dirty lies
that used to be their universal nour-
ishment.
Fewer and fewer people see any
mystery of evil or good in n woman's
walking members. The concealment
of all or part Of a woman's legs is
just as idiotic and nasty and futile
as the concealment of her face was in
the good old times.
1t was easy to understand why cow
ardly and brutal males who tried 10
keep women in slavery, should impose
laws and superstitions on them to
keep them in harems, or walled gar

vainest folly in human history, an

how many of them even heard of it, or

VOTES DON'T FOLLOW.
Political committees frequently
build platforms for their parties and
find that nobody votes for them. II
was only few years ago that M.

an eloquent platform of resounding
ideals and set up a nominee on it with
such success that. as somebody said,
"the result was not an election but

the nation voted against the plat
