The dumonatratioii train has come
and gone, and while opinion will
vary, as they always will, on the
jiuerlta if these Jflying letftureB,
there lit no one but will admit that
they ure an entering wedge that will
force attention to improvement and
betterment of running conditions and
farm products, Kvery action that in
taken along thin lino, every word that
Is Bixjken and printed on this sub
ject and every idea that la presented,
la of value for the beneficial effects
it may have in IncreuHing umlmion
to produce quality as well au tjuan
tlty. That there Is interest and of
the most positive kind, waa fully
uhown by the attendance given these
curs and to the attention given to
tho different speakers. JOvery one
realize and appreciates tho fact that
time- was lacking and stops were too
abort to go Into details that would
otherwise have been pertinent, but
there can be no doubt that even with
these handicaps, geed waa sown that
will bear a crop, and one that will
vindicate this method of arousing In
terest in purer strains and better
quality. Along with the bureau of
Intelligent, zealous men from the
stato college, who are at. the bear! of
this plan, credit In full measure-
should be given to the great rail rend
Byatem 'that offered service and
equipment to make possible the sue
ceaaful carrying out of the plan, for
It would havo been Impossible, with
out Its co-operation and help.

A LAYMAN'S VIEWS.
ply begin with his mature years, say
ing nothing of bis birth, Is that any
reason for doubting the testimony as
to his birth? One of the editors of
The News belongs to the legal pro
fession, and I commend to hlB at
tention a work by a great Christian
lawyer, entitled "The Testimony of
the evangelists Examined by the
Rules of Evidence Administered In
Courts of Justice," by Simon Green-
leaf, formerly professor of law In I
Harvard University, and author of i
the gntat legal classic, "Greenleaf on i
Evidence". j
flint It Is said by those anxious to j
discredit the Bible that the accounts
o fthe virgin birth must be later ad-!
dltlons to Mark and Luke and could!
not have Jieen In the original.
Qf this, they have no proof. This is
a sample, of that kind of criticism;
which Is based on assumptions, not
on facts. Scholars tell us that the
chapters on the virgin birth are:
foiund in every manuscript and ver-1
slon of the gospels known to exist..!
Furthermore, these accouma' accord ;
with the wonderful character and life
of Cl:rlst, and the manner of his:
birth aa foretold In Isaiah. He who.
cannot accept them Is not far from ;
being ready to deny the incarnation '
ill toto, '
I would like .to call attention to
the work of a great Christian scholar
on this subject, namely,-"The Virgin
Birth of Christ," by the late Dr.
James Orr, of Scotland.
Men who occupy tho Christian put-1
pit and who make such statements
as Dr. Aked made will be criticised,
and they deserve it. Some will call
this "heresy hunting", but It is not
exactly that. It Is ruber condemna
tion of treachery. For no man who
preaches in a church that stands
where Dr. Aked's church Btands has
any right to be a traitor to that
ch.ureh, to the people who trust him
or to the Christian sentiment of the
world. There is something even In
the unregenerate human heart that
condemns a traitor. B. L. EDDY.

Editor News:
You have heretofore anuounced
that It Is a rule of Tho News to print
nothing of a controversial nature
with reference to religion, but as
you broke that rule in your issue of
last night, you can hardly rqfuse
space for a reply to what you said
editorially about the recent utter
ances of Dr. Aked, of San Fran
cisco, concerning the .virgin birth
of Christ. Your editorial condoned',
If It did not commend, what Dr.
Aked said. If you had stopiied to
think you must have realized that
you were treading on very danger
oub ground. I can readily imagine
with what feelings r 'disappoints
nient your remarks must have been
received by a large number of your
readers, who have learned to trust
The News.
In the first place let me say that
while the press has heralded the re
marks of Dr. Aked as though they
hail arisen from some new discovery,
yet there Is nothing new In them.
Gorman rationalists and other .de
structive critics .have been saying
tho sume thing for twenty yenrs, and
those informed upon such questions
tell us that the Bume views were put
forth in tho early days of the church.
So Dr. Aked' has made no discov
ery As to why a man occupying a
Christian pulpit should tnko up and
expound views so inconsistent with
the general faith of Chriatans In nil
iigce, so contrary to nil the great
creeds of CliiiNetldoni and so diam
etrically opposed to the Scriptures,
unless from a desire for tho adver-
Using be knew the press would give
him. the average man cannot guess.
The attack upon the virgin birth
Is generally made by those who at
tack generally the life and claims
of Christ, his sinlessness, his mir
acles, his resurrection. It Is said
that only the goepf'ls of Matthew
and Luke tell of tho virgin birth.
This is true. The other gospels,
however, do not tell anything of his
birth. Therefore thero is no incon
sistency or contradiction. If four I
men are testifying In court as to
the lif.t of n limn, unit I vn toll of
bis birth and parentage, and tell the "'onimng uie woumis ana ning. containing fifteen (15) acres,
