No Conflict Between Evolution And
 Religion, Assertion Of Clergyman
Rev. Vernon l.. Phillips of Kensington Says Man Is Created in Image of Gods Spirit.

That the scientific theory of evo- luton may be true and yet not con Illct with the Biblical statement that God created man in His own i'm age was intimated by Rev. Vernon l' Phillips Of the Kensington Con- grcgatlonal church, at the closing service Of the ', M. C. A. Bible class last evening. II was Ladies' Night" and marked the close of the fifth years season of this class.
 The meeting was in charge of Frank E, Rau, presideit. B. F. Armstrong, led the singing. Music was furnished by the |. M. C. A. boys orchestra.
 Mr. Phillips, who taught the Y. M. C. A. class in public speaking this season, spoke on What is God Like?"
 He said God had a body, but this body is q spiritual and not a ma terial or physical body. "The uni- verse is the body Of God and God is the spirit" he declared.
 Referring 10 the opening state ment to tho book of Geneses he quoted, Tn the beginning God creat- cd the heavens and the earth"
 He explained that Cod is suffi- ciently in control of all the laws Of the universe to work His will in the universe and in human nature. There are many laws in nature yet undiscovered by man. some Of which man never will discover" he said. God is interpreted to the world in the experience of man. We see God ln the events of the world. We see God often after events have happen- ed, He cited as an illustration of ihe theory that man Is gradually discovering new laws of nature that century ago nothing was known Of radio
 "lf you expect to know what God is like, you can only know by the revelation that comes in your own life,' he continued The statement He created man in His own image does not mean that the image was physical, The image of God is not physical it is spiritual.
 Man is free agent, possessing the powers of self determining action His nature is such that he is able to distinguish between right and wrong. Thus we say he has q moral consciousness. The physical origin of man may not be definitely known. The book of Genesis states that God created him out of the Aust of the earth. The author then proceeds to relate flguratlvely his opinion as to

PERU, CHILE AGREE
 ON |. s. MEDIATION
Accept Good Offices Of America
 in Tacna-Arica Dispute
DETAILS NOT GIVEN OUT
Secretary Kellogg Simply Announces Each Nation Is Willing To Abide By '. $. Decision And Procedure Is Being Mapped Out Now.

Washington March 26 (Pl--Secre. tary Kellogg announced today that the governments of Peru and Chile had accepted the good offices of the United States for the settlement of the Tacna-Arica controversy.
 Arrangements for the procedure of mediation, the secretary said, are now going forward in correspon- lenCe between Washington, Santiago
 Id Lima.
 Details Not known
 The secretary would make no fur. ther explanation of the latest turn in the long controversy and state de- partment officials profcssed not 10 know whether the resort to diplo. matte settlement foreshadowed abandonment Of the plesbiscite pro- ceedings now in progrss under an arhitral award by President Cool idge,
 Presumably the question, among others, is involved in the cores pondenca between the three govern monts as to methods of procedure under the mediation plan.
 The Usual Method
 The normal method in diplomatic mediation would be for each Of the diSputant governments to name either its diplomatic representative in Washington or some other person to meet with Secretary Kellogg for q round table discussion of all as- poets of the dispute.
 It would then be the task of the secretary 10 offer such assistance as he would toward an agreement be- tween the two countries regarding the sovereignty of the two provinces.
 When an agreement had been reached it would be subject to for mal ratification at Lima and Santi- ago.
 It would be natural for the medi- alton negotiations to proceed in Washington rather than somewhere in South America.
 No Definite Information
 There is nothing definite to indi- cate whether Washington put for yard in offering its good offices, formula for settlement Of the dis pute. Recent conferences between Secretary Kellogg, former Secretary Hughes, and General Pershing, how evor, would indicate that some schr.le to definitely end the long quarrel was under consideration.
 General PersmnG served for sev- oral months in south America as head of the plcbsCite commission, and Is understood to have returned 10 the United States in grave doubt whether fair plehiscitc could be held, His successor at Africa, Major General Lassiter, declared only yes tcTday that although preparations for the election were proceeding, the prerequisites for q satisfactory de cision at the polls had not been full. llled.

just how God created man. If he had been content to state simply that God created man we should have been saved from much contro- versy. The essential message of Genesis is that somewhere in the progressive realization of his ideal for the universe, God created man in His own image, thus giving men Ia nature or spirit not a body, akin 10 the image Of God The spirit .and not the material body Is the characteristic part Of man.
 "The body may well b" the result of the progressive evolution Of the forces of nature, but the spirit is, according to this view, the o1iccr Of the special creative province of Gcd. Tho only image that God possesses Is that of q spirit, and the only image of Himself in which He cnull create man is the image cf l spirit.
 Science atfirms that the physj- cal body Of man Is tho result Of ,he laws of evolution, by which man has attained unto his present physical state through the action of kuowH physical laws. Religion affirms that the spirit man is the special object of Gods creation. that herc God stepped in, somewhere in the pro- cess of evolution md man became q living soul, created in the Ee of God. possessing powers similar to those possessed by God Himself, and being free to determine his own dcs- tiny.
 God created man for fellowship, God needs man as channel through which he can work his plans for the universe. The spirit of the universe is one continuous line, hc- ginning at the lowest form, which i've may Tor convenience call tho devil, and extending all the way up ito the infinite apex called God"

New Jersey Senator Prepares Reso- lhtion Which Would Give Public Right To Voice Sentiment On The Prohibition Question.

Washington, March ?s LP-Dr. Clarence True Wilson, of the Meth odist Episcopal board of morals, who was called liar in the house We'd nesday, was invited to change his middle name today by Federal Judge Elmer r. Ritchie, Of Alaska, testi- lying before senate subcommittee,
 He added that while he would not characterize Dr. Wilson as a falsifIer, he considered he was retailer of falsehoods.
 The question arose over prohibi- ton enforcement conditions in Judge Ritchie's district, and the judge. whose nomination is being consider cd, was testifying in his own defense. He referred to statements he said Dr. Wilson had made about Alaskan enforcement and defended the ad- ministraton of justice in the terri tory as being effective.
 Proposes Referendum
 While the committee was listening to Judge Ritchie, Senator Edge, re- publican. New Jersey prepared resolution under which national referendum on modification of the prohibition act would be held.
 "lf, as the drys claim." he said. they have no fear that public opin- ion has reversed itelf, then 1t would seem they should unhesitatingly en- dorse this plan for a legal national showdown.
 The purpose of this resolution is to provide method for securing 0 national referendum on modification of the Nolstead act within constitu- ttonal limits. The overwhelming ver- dict for notification as presented by newspaper polls has been frequently challenged by spokesmen for the drys.
 While I disagree with their con- tention, still it has appeared to mo that an opportunity for a legal refer endum vote should be provided"
