a committee to report on the harmony between Darwin and Genesis. The greatest leaders in the evolutionary hypothe­ sis have gloried in its opposition to Scripture, and it was called by one of the most famed of them all “ Anti-Genesis.” In December, 1924, there was formed in the City of San Francisco the “ Science League of America,” which includes on its advisory board Prof. Harold Hdhth of the Stanford Zoology Department; David Starr Jordan, Chancellor Emer­ itus of Stanford; Dr. Edgar L. Hewett, Wm. Kent, and Cap­ tain P. J. See, with Maynard Shipley as its President and Conrad Byron as its Secretary. In its initial meeting held in the “ Native Sons’ Hall,” attended by 1,500 to 1,800 peo­ ple, including many scientists and scholars (so they claim), President Shipley said: “ The earnest primary dim is to keep evolution In the public school, and to keep the book of Genesis as a counter explanation as to man’s origin, out of the public school.” Let the nine university presidents, some of them, at least, professing faith in Jesus Christ and in the Bible, harmonize that statement, if they can, with their own report to the State board and deliverance through the press to the public. If there is no lnharmony, pray why keep the Genesis counter story out since the latter has more dignity a thousand fold and is a million times more in harmony with every known scientific fact? The disciples o f this Darwinian doctrine commonly dis­ pense with Scripture. This is true not only of its leaders,— Mr. Darwin, who in the process of working out his theory was changed from a Christian to an agnostic; Mr. Huxley, who proudly boasted his lack of faith and became the orig­ inator of modern agnosticism; Mr. Spencer, who was an easy Aupe of infidel deniers; and Mr. Haeckel, whose pro­ nounced atheism voiced itself in “ The Riddle of the Uni­ verse,"— but it is equally true of those “ professed” Chris­ tians who are devotees of the Darwin hypothesis. Only a few nights since, two of these, recent graduates of a great theological seminary, boasted in my presence, that they were Christians and evolutionists and yet within a few min­ utes boldly affirmed, in the presence of fifteen witnesses, that they did not believe in the supernatural birth of Jesus Christ, nor hold as truth the statement concerning that event to be found in Matt. 1:18-25 and Luke 1:28-35. One of these was a teacher and the other a young preacher, a brother and sister. Think of teachers and preachers of this kind, still claim­ ing to be Christian when they have repudiated the Bible— the only basis of Christian faith, and denied Deity to Christ It is another and opposing religion. Any philosophy that proposes to account for this world ih which we live, and all that is in it,— including mind, body, soul and Bpirlt,— is a religion. There are text-books employed in the University of this State now in my possession that account for the mind and the spirit on a purely physical basis,— “ The result of molecular action and nerve sensation.” The brute mind was gradually converted into human intelligence. Do you wonder that Prof. Machen, of Princeton Theolog­ ical Seminary, says of Modernism: “ It is another religion from Christianity. It haB come to us in the ‘camel’s nose’ of evolution, and once having been admitted into the tent of our schools, the old camping ground of Christianity, it has crowded the rightful owner absolutely out and taken full possession, and now even resents any claims which may be urged by the former owner and only rightful occu- — the object of all Christian worship. This leads naturally to my last point: Evolution is Anti-Christian
