hum an beings. There are always th e clear m arks and boundaries of the species. P rofessor Kellogg him self upsets the value of variations as a cause of the evolution of species. A fter sta tin g th e argum ent of th e evolutionists from variations, he adds: “Also a plausible explanation, bu t weakened, if not shat tered, as far as species form ing is concerned, by th e resu lts of modern biological study, which have shown th a t many of these small variations are not inherited. They are mere fluctuations around a mean, to which m ean the offspring tend constantly to retu rn . Besides, it is asking too much to ascribe a life-or-death-determ ining value to these m inut6 variations, despite any conceivable intensity of th e stru g gle for existence.” (See his “Evolution,” p 99). Thus, th e evolutionist him self being w itness, w hat may be regarded as th e most plausible argum en t for evolution is nullified for lack of evidence to support it. In conclusion we may add th a t we have read w ith intense in terest Vernon Kellogg’s articles on evolution in The A tlan tic Monthly for April, 1924, and in The W orld’s W ork for May, 1924; b u t we are compelled to say th e fallacies of non sequence and begging the question are so evident and num erous in them th a t no rejoinder seems to be needed. The outstanding impression made on our m ind by his articles is th a t Q. E. D. cannot be asserted of the d o ctrin e'o f evolu tion. To our mind, P rofessor Kellogg furnishes strong evidence of intelligent design and special creation in his analysis of n a tu re ’s marvelous processes. The defect in his statem ents is th a t he fails to follow up th e obvious clues, and to carry his prem ises to th e ir logical conclusion. How can any one study n atu re -w ith o u t seeing God’s handiwork in h er phenomena? ¿Ms. DR.

The Triumphs of the Cross By W. C. Stevens
A splendidly w ritten small book treating on the deeper lessons of th e Cross. It shows very clearly w hat the V ictorious, Sacrificial death of Christ on Calvary’s Cross purchased for the believer— w hat the believer’s standing and privileges are as a new man in Christ. Dr. Charles A. Blanchard, president of W heaton (111.) College, says of it, “ In this day when so many pass the cross and look upon it as a needless thing, those who realize as Mr. Stevens does, th at it is everything to the needy souls of men, have a right to speak, and I do not believe there will be found one person in the world who will thoughtfully, prayerfully read this book, who will not find help and com fort in it,’’_____________ Paper, 35 cents The Son of God By K eith L.
