G etting Around Toward th e Bible Again I F those brought up on evolutionary teaching and the radical ideas growing out of it concerning companion ate marriage, polygamy, temporary unions and the care of offspring by society, will not listen to Bible teachings, per haps they will take notice of the statements of a well- known scientist. Professor Herbert S. Jennings, of John Hopkins Uni versity, declares that he has demonstrated that monogamy is the most efficient system on scientific grounds. Of course, he says it is “the highest product of evolution” ; and we will allow him the comfort of this notion, though we have not been able to see how evolutionary teaching tends to monogamy. Dr. Jennings turns his hottest fire on the familiar doc trine often enunciated by Socialists, saying: “In some quarters we meet an aspiration for a system similar to that found in insects, in which from the beginning the social group as a whole shall care for the offspring, thus making the family unnecessary. In this way the individual parents are to be set free, each to pursue his or her life career without interference from offspring or mate. “The aspiration appears largely dominated by the desire to give full satisfaction to the mating impulses, to facilitate change of mates, making it unnecessary to remain tied to one another longer than fancy dictates. If we examine this aspect of the matter in animals that have fully carried out this system of public care for the progeny, we find a surprising result. The system has resulted, not in freeing the mating impulses, but in their suppres sion, their almost complete extinction, the essential desex- ualization of society. “Only isolated individuals continue to be occupied with mating and. propagation; the rank and file are sexless. If man must look to this result, possibly the enthusiasm for this system will abate.” Dr. Jennings points out that man’s long and helpless infancy, the high development of the mating and parental impulses, and the diversified and exacting nature of his life career, appear to be met. most adequately by the life long monogamous family. People of common sense long ago came to the same conclusion, but it is heartening to have that conclusion supported by the science of biology.
