U. S. EVOLUTION TRIAL; MAY

JOHN THOMAS SCOPES IN
THE FABUM.
The evolution case is not a case to
determine the outcome of the fight
between science and religion. It is
not to decide whether this country
will be fundamentalist or liberal in
its religious views. It is not to see if
the State has the right to dictate
to the schools what is to be taught.
It is not to determine whether we
have religious tolerance or not.
Any institution that lasts' through
ages must. ever so often. be cleans-
ed of the reactionary principles that
it acquires. The Church is by no
means an exception to this rule.
The great spiritual movements led
by such men as Martin Luther,
Wesley. knox, and others. have
clearly demonstrated that the
church has a tendency to get away
from Christ, to become polluted with
superstition and dogma. When the
effect of one of these spiritual awak-
enings has lost its force. the spirit
of intolerance makes its reappear-
ance.
Religious intolerance is today one
of the controlling factors in our
daily life. Not so long ago one of my
friends told me that he had been
offered a position as instructor in a
State institution. but only provided
that he Join a certain church. itc-
ligious intolerance is with us. as is
shown by the various laws that have
been passed by our various State
legislatures and by the attempts to
pass others.
The question of evolution and
modernism can be settled only by
time and swdy. That is a problem
for the scientists and theologian to
solve. Na court decision can in any
way bring light on this matter.
Whether a. state can regulate the
exact things that are taught in the
schools or not is a useless question
to discuss .They may have that
power. but who w0uld ever expect
a. state to exercise such authority?
The school system was created to
educate the youth of the country.
Education means broadening. 1f the
state is now going to dictate what
is taught. why do they\noi set down
a. table of hard facts.i‘or each pupil
to learn so that every one liml nt—
tends our schools will be of one
mind and one thought? How far
could we progress under such an
educational system? If that is to be
the only thing to come out of the
evolution trial. why not dissolte the
schools? For..they will have lost
their use.
- The real significanCe of the case.
as I see it. is not to decide any 01‘
these issues, or other issues that
have been discussed pro and con.
but to bring a better understanding
between the various factions involv-
ed. Thougb'the gap may seem wid-
' cited by discussion. and tlmld'souls
may. prefer taboo to, open debate.
there is no doubt in Cany mind that
through this open. frank discussion.
a better understanding will result.
and eventually opposite points of
New will be brought closer together.
There is another thing that may
result. and I. at least. hope that it
will. The whole country needs a new
spiritual awakening. There is a pos-
sibility that through the publicity
accorded this trial and through the
nation-wide debate of. principles we
may lose some of the superstition
thst blinds us and takes our atten-
tion away from the essential things
of life and the beauties of true
Christianity.
