And certainly many evolu tionists recoirnize a suDerDhvsical or- spiritual element in creation, and believe as firmly in God as the most devout heologian. , f , Here are the words of one of the most distinguished evolutionists in this country :! "The basis for all mature con ceptions of God lies here: That the Power from whom all ife proceeds wells up in two forms. One is pnysicai; we can see it. touch it, weigh it, analyze and measure it. The other is spiritual; it is character, conscience, intelligence, purpose, ove; we cannot see it, nor touch it, nor weigh it nor analyze it. We ourselves did not make either of these two expres sions of life. They came up together out of the Creative Reality from which we came. -. , i 1 ' 7 U ! "When one thinks of the Power that made this, that one cannot easily think that physicalness is enough to predi sustains this, that flows like blood through the veins of this cate concerning Him. If the physical adequately could have revealed that Power, there never would have been anything but the physical to reveal Him." The fact that spiritual life is here is evidence that it takes spiritual life fully to display the truth about creation's reality. As an old mystic put it: God sleeps in the stone. He dreams in the animal, He wakes in man!" 1 ' . ( , f i ADVERTISING A HOBBY AND NECESSITY , "I recommend the study of religious, advertising as a hobby and as a necessity," said Rev. Dr. Clinton Wunder, of - the Baptist Temple, Rochester, at a meeting in New York a short time ago. . ! ' "It is with direct advertising that we' are especially con ' ' cerned. I have found by checking my experience with others, r .-that ttift following forms of direct advertising are of value in about the order stated.

John Wright Buck ham of the Pacific School of Religion, which attempts to combat the agnosticism of the student by? drawing entirely opposite conclusions from the scientific facts cited by the 'latter. .J.::Z' .::!. ..'. . CI; ' -- 1. i; ' ' To auote from the student's letter: " "Let it be remem bered that in that vast parent nebula everything earthly resided potentially-verything from skyscrapers to dreams. In some hot-bed, when the earth had cooled off sufficiently, to allow life, the ameba or some similar animal' came into existence. This was the parent organism of all living organ isms that we know today." ; , H'tr I Continuing the student asks : "What has God to do with all this T" Not much,! it seems evident. The Greeks erected a temple to the unknown god. I They were s wise. They did not profess to know the unknowable. What scien tific evidence have we for God f None at all. -He is then, an hypothesis to explain the ultimate nature of things, accord ins to modern chilosophy. , - U Z : i; : ' l " "In summary, let me say this : " God is simply a philo- tophical hypothesis an explanation of that which is, beyond sophical hypothesis an explanation of that which is beyond wisdom he has' developed laws 01 morality and ethics.8 In his weakness he has linked them up with God for sure enforce ments : h ''.- -: v-vi--f-'1 -- 'a-v---;f : Dr. Buckham admits that much of the student's .state ment is in accord with modern science, and as such is to be accepted. But .he points out that much that passes for science is only hypothetical, and we ' should distinguish the difference between even a well established hypothesis arid a complete demonstration." The professor answers the stud- nt s assumption .that God cannot have much to do with the evolutionary -process by declaring truthfully that many of the leading exponents of evolution, including Alfred Russel Yallace, George J. Romanes, N. S. Shaler, Joseph Le Conte, J. Arthur Thompson and very- many others, have reached quite the opposite conclusion. 1 .- - The trouble with' this young student philosopher isthe same as that of the early evolutionists. - He is drawing" his conclusions from too superficial, too one-sided an investiga tion of scientific facts. . Absorbed in and carried away by the purely physical phenomena with which they exclusively deal, ' these agnostic evolutionists persist f in, igndrint or denying the existence of all superphysical phenomena. They even re fuse to admit the conclusions that inevitably follow their own array of admitted facts. . j , I jFor example, take the statement of "this student that "man is simply evolved,! rationalized mud." . Whence came the law or -force that caused this mud to finally evolve into man I with all his ability to build, to acquire knowledge, ip achieve, to love, to formulate the code of ethical and moral laws to which- he refers? i The. matter that makes up the - physical man of today is admittedly of the same essential character as I that which jnakes up the rest of the creation. Whence comes the power of force or law that has evolved from one small portion of this ; matter a man, from another -' a dog, a horse, a bird or a fish; from another a tree or flow er? These would-be scientists persist in denominating the attempt to account for the miracles of creation by ascribing these wonders to a creative power and intelligence as a pure hypothesis.' ' They do not, however, balk at setting up hypo theses 01 their own to account for sets of physical facts which, their researches disclose. ' But anything that points unerringly to a Creator or God behind it in the creation they simply refuse to see it, or seeing it, like the student they declare that notwithstanding this, there is no evidence of any God or Creator, in creation. r -1 f ' r 5 I To the non-scientific inind it does not" matter whether the miracle of creation has come by a long line of evolution ary stages from; the mud, as declared by the student quoted above, or whether it came by the fiat of its Creator instantly vitalizing this mud into the .varied forms of created life just as we see them today.' In either case the power or force :that has made it all possible, that still upholds and sustains and Keeps it going, is so' infinitely greater: than anything else we know or see, and so perfectly manifest, that to' deny its existence marks the agnostic as woefully lacking in those powers of observation and analysis that distinguish the truly scientific mind. , To most of us the agnostic who persists in seeing in creation no evidence of a God is on a par with the - uiiwujjiui, ; wuu peistenny snuia nis eyes to patent tacts Let it not be supposed, however, that all scientists, and especially all evolutionists, become agnostics or infidels, dis believing in God and His power.r Quite the reverse. The - r-:t cf then have come to recognize a "living God' one con- vance in standards and higher Ideals in the workaday ;. world, eyen if some particular church is not recognised. The " man who carries his Bible and Its lessons into bis business life will not only himself benefit -thereby', but will furnish an example To encourage others. .... . ':. THE O. X. G. (Corrallis Gazette-Times) 1 The announcement that Oregon has the largest National Guard or ganization in the United States in proportion to population is a mat ter that should be a source of pride to every Oregonian. It is held "regular drills in every conn ty in the sUte having a company ; It has had field training and held. military encampments. It - . has participated with credit in nation al rifle matches, and altogether if war should suddenly loom on the horizon as It did In 1916, Oregon could put an adequate defense of its homes In the field in a few hours as was demonstrated in the recent' mobilisation experiment. 1 ; When ihel reds In! the lumber camps threatened to disrupt Ore gon's leading industry and means of prosperity. General White don ned loggers clothes, went to the woods,' bunked and ate with the men, and. got first hand informa tion not only as to the merits of their alleged grievances, but also their plans for spiking 'the wheels of " industry- ; For that . , reason largely, the "uprising" was v fiz zle, s Had General White been ad jutant In Illinois, It is quite likely that there would have been a dif ferent story to. tell about the mas sacres at HetTon, and that this blot upon our. government might have beent spared us. .

SAVE YOUR PSYCHOXS One of our happy circulating mediums says that ghost's are made from psychons. These psy- chons may be held together at the time of dissolution." In this co hesive state they form the astral body that men call a ghost When the ghost walks it is merely an adhesive entanglement : oc psy chons. .Maybe a; high wind will come up and blow the psychons apart. Then., the ghost would be forever, laid.' Watch your psy chons; Exchange. t If c all the "loganberry r growers wUI pull together and stabilize the industry, they will find the best of the . cannery managers with them. . Every one is inter ested in the growers getting a liv lng price and there must be pro vision for advertising, in order , to stimulate the consumer demand. The growers are Interested also in the cannera making a sure profit also a tribute to the efficiency and , untiring energy of'AdJutant Gen eral White- We have been told by regular army officers who have been, through the mill from every direction and who know absolute ly what they are talking about, that General White is the best and most efficient adjutant general that: they 4 ever . knew ; and ;:they have had; occasion to know many of them. This is also a matter of congratulation tor Oregon. Dur ing the biennial period just end ed, the Oregon National - Guard brought Into, the - state : federal funds to 'the extent of $485,ET00. But the mere matter of bringing money Into; the state is the least of Its accomplishments. ; It has THE BIBLE AND BUSINESS I The head .of the Steel Corpora tlon at a public banquet urged the use and study ot the Bible in the dally walk of life. He said that it 1 was best for - the . nation, the group or the individual to follow the paths of Christianity., Not long ago thecal g corporation vol untarily ralsedf the wages of some thousands of its poorest paid employees. It ' has 'concerned it self with a program) for the bet terment of their homes. It may yet be disclosed that a corpora' tlon may really have a soul and be Imbued with the milk of hu man kindness. The other evening the ' most popular 1 star in ; vaude ville answered an encore at the hands jot 2000 ardent admirers by telling them y the simple story ot how. he ; had gained 'Christianity and was determined , to live and work for the Master. The and ience gave him heartier applause than I ever and the ' incident - was much more potent than any pon derous ', sermon coud ever ; . be. There are a lot of people' 'who re gard the Bible with, reverent ad miration and who gladly accept Divine, leadership, but who never theless avoid the creedal : contro versies that beset the .church. There Is a willingness to use and follow the Bible In the business world and there is a profound re spect tor the' life and teachings of the Master on the part of the man in the street.

All right," muttered Mr. Fish er. ; ; You're, above sellng corn cribs, I suppose, good : steel cribs, your father's business. i Ralph stalked out of the off ice sulkily. . Dad . expected him to spend his sunVner'a vacation again this, year selling those old cribs. It Is true he had mad$.$200 last summer. 'But If he could make that much selling cribs how much more ha could make with some- thing really worth while! The man in the .city had told him that a jeally good salesman (Ralph con sidered himself a very good one) should make $500 a month. ''. " "To think a son ot mine would n't have any more sense!", fumed Mr. Fisher to hts wife. 'He wants to sell bonds! Think of It." 'It seems to me that I can re member" Mrs. Fisher smiled. ' Ralph's, father laughed guiltily. "Now, Carrie, don't bring that up," he begged. waen' summer came Ralph was allowed to sell his bonds. At least he .was allowed' to try. He hired an old Ford and drove, out Into the country. The farmers all treated him alike. "Ain't In terested," they grnnted, and walk ed back to their plows before Ralph had time he was doing. The fourth place he went was Farm er Gradford's. farmer "you're Just the fellow I've been looking for. - Two r of my neighbors like my cribs so well they want to order some Just like them. I didn't tell yonr pa; . I wanted you to vhave . the commis sion."; t " ; ' r. -: ,-v: ; ;" : Ralph sighed as he thought of that fat commission. ''I'm not In the crib business any longer, Mr, Bradford.-. I'm selllns bonds." ' "Selling bonds!" Mr. Bradford gasped. "Why why that seems runny. Does your pa know it? Seems queer he'd let you after his experience." 1 " " j- - ""His experience? Oh, fou mean selling cribs?' Ralph asked. ,No, I mean selling bonds. Did n't you know your father sold bends one summer- when he was a kid?" He saw that Ralph didn't "Well, I guess It won't hurt you to know it. It we& a no-account con cern and they swindled your pa out of a heap of. money. It took him two years selling cribs ljust as hard as he could to pay back the farmers around . here that called him a thief. Gee,; for a while we all thought It was going to ruin your pa's life." "Say, what's the name of those neighbors , of yours that v want cribs?" Ralph climbed back Into hta Vnrd. "Mie-ht n well en nn Well, well," greeted the oldland get their orders."
