. Genesis of Evolution.
1 "“This indictment we prove by
’ctimparing the processes described
wvolutionary with the text of
‘ nests" he said. “it not only con-
{edicts the Mosaic record as to the
beginning of human,iife but it dis-
utcs tiio biblo doctrine of repro-
uciion according to kind—the
* realest scientific principle. known."
. "Our second indictment," the ad-
ldress said. "is that the evolution-
ry hypothesis carried to its logical
(inclusion disputes every vital truth
1 the bible: its tendency. natural
f not. inevitable. is to lend those
anally accept it. first to aghas-
ticism. and then to atheism."
«Here Charles Darwin was refer-
red to illustrate what was meant by
this charge.
"I did not in the least doubt the
strict and literal truth of every
word in the bible." Darwin was
quoted as saying of the period from
1528 to 1831. Then. said Bryan.
“the change wrought in his (Dar-
.wln‘s) religious viows will be found
in a. letter written to a German
youth in 1879'. An excerpt from
this letter rcadz—fi

" 'Sclenca has nothing to do With
" Christ except, insofar as the habit
of scientific research makes a'nian
cautious in admitting evidence. For
myself I do not believe that -there
ever has been any revelation. As
to future life every man must judge
for himself conflicting vague prob-
nbilltics'."
v The third indictment against avo-
Iution was "that it diverts attention

both for their own restraint and to
insure seciety that their enlarged
powers will be used for the benefit
of society and not against the public
welfare. '
‘ “Our fourth indictment against,
the evolutionary hypothesis is that.
by paralsing the hope of reform. It
discourages those who labor for the
improvement of man's condition."
Mr. Bryan wrote.

"Evolution disputing the. miracle
and ignoring the spiritual in life.
has no place. for regeneration of the
individual. it recognizes no cry of
repentance and scoffs at the doc-
trine that one can be born."
The fifth charge brought was that
“if taken seriously and made the
basis of a philosophy of life (evol-
ution) would eliminate love and
curry man back to a struggle of
tooth and claw. The Christians who
have allowed themselves to be de-
celvcd into believing that evolution
is a beneficent. or even' a rational
process. have been associating with
those who either do not understand
its implications. or dare not avow
their knowledge of these implica-
tions."
The Commoner. denying that the
’l‘ouiiessco anti-evolution law had its
origin in bigotry and was "trying to
force any form of” religion on any-
body," said that the majority rather
“is trying to protect itself from the
effort of an insolent minority to
force religion upon the children
under the guise of teaching science."
Welcomes Truth.
Asserting that Christianity wel-
comes truth front whatever source
it comes. he alluded to evolution as
not truth; it is merely an hypot-
besis——it is millions of guesses
strung together."

asked: -'
"Do bad (\tctrines corrupt the
morals of students?"
leviewing quoted cxccrpts from
Darrow's plea in behalf of "Babe"
Leopold because he had become en-
amoursd of the philosophy of Niet-
zchq.” Mr. Bryan declared "this is
a damnable philosophy. yet it is the
flower that blooms on the stalk of
evolution. Mr. Darrow thinks the
universities are in duty bound to
feed out this poisonous stuff to their
students. and when the students be-
come stupefied by it. and commit.
murder. neither they nor the uni-
versity are to blame." followed.
Mr. Bryan went into a denuncia-
tion of science. declaring that sci-
ence "is a magnificent material
force. but it is not I. teacher of
morals." And that evolution is at
war with religion because religion
is superonatural. He claimed that
science. Christianity. he said. can-
with lofty purpose those who em-
plo the forces that are unloosed by
set us. .Cliriatianity. he said, can-
not remain indifferent.
Not A Teacher of Morals. .
"Let. us. then. hear the conclusion
of the whole matter." he s'aid. '
"Science is a. magnificent material
force. but it is not a teacher of
morals. -.It can perfect msghinery.
but it adds no moral restraints’ to
protect society from themisuss of
the machine. It. can also build
gigantic intellectual ships . but it
constructs no moral rudders for the
control of storm-tossed human ves-
sels. .
“In war. science has proven it-
self an evil genius; it has made war
more terrible than it. ever was be-
fore. Man used to be content to
slaughter his fellow man on a single
plane-the earth's surface. Science
has taught him to go downinto the
water and shoot up from below and
to go up into the clouds and shoot
down fro mabove. thus making the
battlefield three times as bloody as
it was before: but science does not
teach brotherly love., If civilisation
is to be saved from the wreckage
threatened by injustice. not conse-
crated by love. it must ibe saved
from the moral code of the meek
and lowly Nazarene! His teachings.
and His teachings alone can solve
the problems that vex the heart and
pcrplex the world.
"The world needs a Savior more
than it ever did before. ‘
"It is for the jury to determine
whether this attack upon the
Christian religion shall be permitted
l nlhe public schools of Tennessee
by teachers employed by the state
and paid out of the public treasury.
The case has assumed the proper;
tions of a battle royal between un-

The rain. which spoiled the plans
of many parties yesterday. also de-
layed the beginning of Swimming
Week. The downpour in the after-
noon kept the regular classes of chil-
dren from the playgrounds and from
coming to the beach. One small
party from the State street grounds
came to Calf Pasture and went right.
back again.
The classes will begin this after-
noon with as many of the Calf Pas-
ture Life Guards as are available on
the spot. It is probable that, the
Junior Red Cross members will take
over much of the afternoon instruc-
tion under the guidance of H. H.
Lsngor. supervisor of playgrounds.
Ono energetic man appeared at
the beach last night to receive a les-
son in swimming. but was informed
by the concessionaires that the les-
sons had been postponed until to-
day.

in a double smash on Sunday. faced
the Darlen Town court on a charge

Prosecuting Attorney Max Spelke on

former Prosecuting Grand Juror

moments later smashed into a wag-
on load of hay drawn by a team of
