That is very inter esting, for by the same process, no doubt, a revival of religion might be kindled in this generation on the foun dations laid by much of the scholarly preaching of the day. When you save a soul by the preaching of evolution, you have matched the gentleman who cooks his egg by placing it on a frozen lake.

'Here is the most ancient of all the records of the history of the human race. Whatever your science is, come and bend over this book: your science is here. Come and drink ou t.of this fair fount of knowl edge and wisdom, and ye shall find yourselves made wise unto salvation.— Sel. WHO IS THE AUTHOR? The following story told about for mer Vice-President Marshall, goes to show that there are many people who carry a Bible in the hand, but have no thought of where its contents origin ated, nor of the vital importance of its message.
