PRAY l<' OR EVANGELIZATION, AND FOR REVIVAL! (NOTE. The writer who sends the above says that he Is not connected In any way with the "Back to the Bible Bureau," nor do the otficers of the Bureau know that such an appeal Is being written, nor does the writer ex– pect material advantage or reward therefrom in any way.

This, they say, is done to avoid any seeming clash be– tween what they style science and the Bible. They are like the Irishman's flea, wben you put your finger on them they are not there, but somewhere else; and we are always accused of misunder~ standing and misinterpreting them.
