What is the power and majesty of God?
—Psalm 93:1-4
How should we come into God’B pres­
ence?
—Psalm 95:1, 2
How should we worship God?
—l'salm 95:6, 7
They can trace life down to what
they consider its primary forms,
but can go no farther. St. John
the apostle is far more satisfac­
tory, who tells us “that which
hath been made wa< life in
Him,” i. e. the Word of God Who
in the beginning was with God
and was God,
Life must have a starting
point ana the only rational one
is God. The universe with all
which it comprises, manifests a
plan and a purpose, and these
indicate thought back of them,
of the highest wisdom and power.
Michael Angelo saw in a block
of marble the image of an im­
prisoned angel, and with his
chisel released it. What he saw
was his thought projected into
the block of marble, wh i c h
thought he clothed with the ma­
terial marble to give it expres­
sion. The statue which he carved
was originally a thought in his
mind, and thought is of the life
of the thinker. When Michael
Angelo declared that he saw an
image of an angel in the block
of marble, he spake, and then
and there the image came into
actuality, though it took some
time for it to be brought into
sight.
We do not care if evolution is
taught in the schools provided
its limitations are clearly defined,
and the pupils are told that it is
after all only a tentative theory,
which by subsequent scientific
discoveries may yet be displaced.
And that as far as man is con
cerned, it can only apply to his
physical structure and not to the
spiritual part of his nature, in
which the image and likeness of
his Creator can be discerned.

Budget Commission Reports.
The recommendations of the state
budget commission were ready for the
legislature when it convened Monday.
They call for appropriations aggregat­
ing $6,416,832.23 for the biennium of
1923 and 1924.
The $6,416,832.23 is the amount
recommended for actual appropriation
by the legislature. Requirements for
the biennium for those state activities
supported by fixed levies or continu­
ing appropriations are estimated at
$13,388,696.78, and requirements of self
maintaining boards, commissions and
departments are placed at $27,363,-
809.23.
The free text book bill fathered by
Representative Woodward of Mult­
nomah eounty Is likely to arouse eon,
siderable controversy. The oppon­
ents of the free text book bill will
base their fight largely on the ground
that It will Increase taxes, while those
who favor the bill claim they have
figures showing that in other state*
free text books have not materially in­
creased taxes.
Representative Woodward has also
sponsored a bill extending suffrage
to all qualified voters In school elec­
tions and another to prohibit the
wearing of sectarian garb In any pub­
lic school.
While a similar sectarian garb bill
was defeated in the 1921 session, in­
dications are that there will be little,
if any, opposition to the bill In this
session.
A farm bloc and an anti-log-rolling
block have been organized in the
house.
The farm bloc will vote as a unit
against measures which do not geem

viewpoint, while the anti-log-rolling
bloc Is going to Insist that every
measure be considered on its merits
and not traded or log-rolled through
