scopic) reveal great differences in size, shape, food habits, methods of loco motion and reproduction. They repro duce after their kind; otherwise they could not be classified as species. Some animals have complicated or gans which would have been quite use less until fully developed as, for exam ple, the web-spinning organs of the spider. How would it have been pos sible for these spinnerets to evolve? Similarly, there are many animals which have instincts or habits that could not possibly have developed gradually, such as the habit of the wa ter spider of constructing its diving bell, or the house martin with its cup shaped mud nest attached to a wall. It is sometimes said that because the great majority of scientists believe in evolution, it must be true. But it is well to remember that, as Schopenhauer pointed out, if general consent were to determine the truth of propositions, then we would have to admit that truth varies with time and space, since totally different opinions have come, in the course of time, to be generally accepted among the inhabitants of the earth and local majorities will be found to hold quite different opinions as we pass around the world today. From our Lord’s parable we learn that “while men slept” the enemy sowed the tares — (Matt. 13:25). Dur ing the past half century the enemy of souls has, indeed, sown the tares of evolution and unbelief throughout the schools and colleges of our land while the church has been asleep. And, “if the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous dfl?-” (Psa. 11:3). The doctrine of evolution is directly antagonistic to that of creation. Evolu tion, if consistently accepted, makes it impossible to believe the Bible and no compromise is possible. To accept evo lution is to reject the Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, “. . . what think ye of Christ? . . .” The answer to that ques tion is one of life or ‘death to every man, woman and child, and answer it each one of us must! Read Hebrews 2:3 and John 1:12. (For more messages on Evolutiohy see page 25.)

MOVING COSTS EVERYONE If you have just moved, or are planning to do so, you know all that is involved. But did you realize that your move can also cost the Lord's work? If you have moved and have not as yet informed us, from now on it will cost Biola 8 cents (rather than 4) in order to have the post office give us the in formation concerning your new address. If you use a post card, or the forms provided by the post office, this will mean a sub stantial savings for the work of the Lord. With a quarter of the population moving every year, according to statistics, you can well imagine what this will ulti mately mean for Biola. Thank you for your prayer ful help in this, as well as in our other ministries for the Lord Jesus Christ.
