554 T H E K I N G ’S B U S I N E S S How on earth can she hope to reconcile the Bible to these changing theories, and save her child from believing that the Bible is thoroughly undepend­ able? If one verse is truth and the next verse is error, pray who will in­ struct us how to use this Book ? If God wrote the Book and it touches here and there on scientific matters, will the Book give us the truth or something that any school child can see is falsehood? Not for the world would we rob any teacher or preacher of the privilege of believing exactly as he likes. We wouldn’t deprive them of any com­ fort derived from the thought that their great grandfathers were tadpoles squirming around in some mud hole, or even monkeys jibbering in the tops of the cocoanut trees—the thing we object to is their teaching these ideas to others as representatives of science, serene and majestic, with­ out informing them that there is much to be said against these theories and that some very eminent scientists do not regard them as worthy of consid­ eration at all. Here, for instance, is a clipping from a Toronto paper just received: “ Standing before the American Association for the Advancement of Science, and welcomed by that body as one of the greatest scientists in England, Prof. William Bateson, world famed biologist, in the University of Toronto, last night, uttered statements which were indicative of a change in the attitude of many scientific men towards the Darwinian theory of evolution, that were little short of revolutionary.” The paper states that he ruthlessly tore down, one by one, many of the fondly believed ‘ ‘ links ’ ’ in the chain of evolution. He admitted frankly that a lot of the text-books were worthless. There were too many gaps that evolutionists had been unable to explain, and the whole theory hangs by a very slender thread. We could print such testimonials from equally well known scientists, by the -dozen. The Word of God that has stood for these many centuries without change—this Word which addresses itself to the universal condition of the human heart—is full of conformity with all that we see and know. No one has ever seen the process of evolution in action—the various theories are •out of conformity with all we see and know. Many of the matters set forth by evolutionists are indeed interesting, showing the close connection be­ tween innumerable species, but there is absolutely nothing in it all to con­ tradict the unmistakable teaching of the Bible—the fact of God’s immediate intervention in the formation of each one. Miserable pursuits—that instill doubt of the Word of God into the hearts of our young people. Woe to the man or woman by whom the offence Cometh! i ' " " " L. B.
