----- j the war whoop to change into the angels’ song of peace and good will over Bethlehem’s plains? No! the doctrine is a terrible mistake.' It is all wrong. Righteousness, love, self-sacrifice, morality, beauty, true religion these have been the sources of true progress in the history of the race. War, hatred and selfishness have always retarded the human genus in its upward march. Let me say in conclusion that I have not borrowed my thoughts from the author whom I am about to commend, although I read his book a number of years ago. I refer to George Paulin’s great book, "No Struggle for Existence; No Natural Selection: A Critical Examination of the Funda mental Principles of the Darwinian Theory.’’ It was pub lished in 1908 by T. & T. Clark, 38 George Street, Edin burgh, Scotland, and is a complete scientific refutation of the doctrines indicated in the title. Had not the world been so obsessed with Darwin’s theory, and had it paid attention to Paulin’s masterful presentation of facts, the situation today in church and school and everywhere else would be very different. Then there would be no evolutionary con troversy disturbing the peace and retarding the prosperity of the kingdom of God; while science, art, ethics, religion and all the other fine things of true civilization would be making rapid strides forward and upward. The greatest barrier to true progress today is this crude theory of the selfish and incarnadined struggle for existence as the chief means of advancement, proclaimed in the sacred name of science. FINE GOLD or The Pearl of Great Price (Continued from page 271) many conferences with Mr. Foster and they seemed mutu ally drawn to each other. American methods appealed to him and Mr. Foster thought he had never seen a Peruvian quite so interested in Just the way this man was. He was on the point of asking the man if he were a Peruvian, but came to the conclusion that he was a Spaniard. To his surprise he found that the man was a Christian, and had no sym pathy with the Catholic Church. Señor Fernaldo told him of the Japanese Kudzu vine, which was proving so prolific in new sections of different countries, and of its high nutri tive value in the feeding of the stock. Mr. Foster wanted very much to try some of this on his farm, and so Señor Fernaldo wrote down the address of the firm in Japan from whom he felt sure the roots could be obtained. When he looked at the slip of paper from the Spaniard he was so surprised he hardly knew what to do at first. Then his mind worked quickly. "Señor, I want to take you down to our farm for a visit. Can you not come with me tomorrow, as we are returning then? We shall all be glad to have you see our farm and give us the benefit of your advice.” said Mr. Foster. At first the Spaniard thought he would be unable to do so, but a couple of hours later came back saying he had made arrangements to return with him. Mr. Foster wrote a letter to Wlltjam and sent an Indian on ahead with it, so that it arrived several hours before the main party from Cuzco could reach the farm. When William received the letter with the enclosure writ ten by the Spaniard, he was very much excited. Calling to Louise, he said, “ That man has been found at last.” He had

Answered or Unanswered
By Louisa Vaughan. Does God still answer prayer, in the same supernat ural, wonder-working power as when he met the faith of Daniel and Elijah > Does He still deliver as when He led Peter out of prison and brought Paul through dangers untold on sea and land> In this remarkable little book of “ Faith miracles in China” a missionary recounts her actual experiences in seeing God work in answer to the prayer of faith. Marvelously successful as a soul-win ner, she passes on to ministers, missionaries, and other Christian workers her "method" in detail. She pleads for others to give this plan a trial, and in incident after inci dent shows how God will meet the soul that dares to trust him. She urges confession of sin and reliance upon the cleansing blood of Christ, the yielding fully to the Holy Spirit. She belidves in being very definite and explicit, and in these seventeen short chapters, full of thrilling ad ventures and gripping interest from real life in China, shows how God dealt with these Chinese Christians when they were willing to be cleansed from sin,— especially that root sin of unbelief. Many testimonies have come of great blessing from the book, and Christians are urged to send it to their missionary frien d s.__ - - Paper 60 cents} Cloth $1.00 If money do*, not accompany order. ,»ood. will b. sent C.
