The young seminary teacher named Scopes has succeeded in producing many Bible scoffers, but he is still under bond. * * . It is easy to fall a victim to flattery, but the truth tests our ability to stand straight. * * * It is useless to run away from trouble. When you run until you are put of breath, you will find it following hard after. Better face it, fight it and fit yourself for another bout. * * * The cord which binds the poor old world now is discord. Put your ear to the earth and hear the rumble. Both earth and air respond and the tide of turmoil increases. Thank God, we have a Book which warns us of the warfare which awaits this poor, old sin-sick world. . * * * The convicts in San Quentin prison (California) are to have music with their meals. Beethoven will accompany the beans and a sixteen-piece convict orchestra will dilute their desire for dessert. Verily, music hath charms, even for convicts. * * * What’s the matter with Chicago?' Only 238 killings in six months, and only seventy-one family feuds. If she is to maintain her prestige as the first city in the land in the taking of human life, she will be compelled to increase her illicit stills. * * * The ambition of Steinmetz, the electrical wizard, was to so control the energy of the sun that its power could be transmitted to the most remote regions— melt the ice in Iceland and radiate light to the darkest places. Would that this could be used to illumine the minds of the blind and bigoted Bible-deniers! * * * The siren voice of Soviet Russia sounds sweetly in the ears of the Chinese. Soft and low— very low— are the argu ments that these false friends use while seeking to tie her hands and make her subject to their power. Chinese stu dents, trained in our own universities, are among her great est foes. So-called Christian culture may prove a curse rather than a cure for China. * * * The latest novelty in business is the use of roller skates. Messenger boys find it fun to skip along with a message and some employers in mercantile houses and factories go glid ing along with happy faces. We look forward to the time when they will be used in taking up church collections. How intensely interesting it would be and what a comfort to have such an innovation to ease our strained nervous system. Surely, the wheels of time do move! * * * In an address given in Los Angeles recently, Dr. Robert A. Millikan made the following remarks: “How does the Beta ray shoot itself out of an atom with its terrific velocity? Where does this amazing energy come from? We do not know. We are completely up in the air in our understanding of what it’s all about, and how it comes about.’’ But there are many other things we do not know, Dr. Millikan, and one of them is how evolution "did not” come about.
