RIOTER'S THREAT THE BIBLE AND SCIENCE
TO JUDGE
"I WILL SHOOT YOU WHEN I COME OUT”
"When I get out I will shoot you," shouted Richard Murphy, aged 20, to Mr. Justice Charles at Cheater Assizes.
Murphy was one of ten men who were tried on charges arising out of the Birkenhead riots on Septem- ber 15,
There was considerable commo- lon in court for some minutes, and a woman was carried out by policemen.
George Emlyn, Williams, aged 29, Joseph Rawlings, aged 38, Sidney Rawson Greenwood, aged 29, and William McBeth, aged 40, were described by Mr. Justice Charles na the leadera of the riots.

"No, the Bible is now dis- credited by scientific dis- coveries; I do not read-it."
This in sometimes heard as a reason for not reading the Bible. Science and the Bible find commen ground in the origin of the world and in the miracles. Must we ive up the Bible because of what science has discovered?
Let me first say that Science has not yet reached a state of finality. Am I to alter my views with ench new discovery made or to wait and see whether some future discovery may not supersede this? The real crux of the matter is, when is one to conceive of a scientiae law as being beyond dispute and final.
What WHA the origin of the world? Let it be here said that all thinking people believe that some form of evolution has taken place, But has God been special agent in the great fresh developments that are apparent in the record of the rocks and in the

YO YO IN CHURCH
SPAIN IN THROES OF THE CRAZE
Spain, like many other countries, is "yo yo" mad, and it fa doubtful whether London or Paris have got the craze worse than Madrid.
In a church situated in the fashionable Salamanca district of Madrid, the parish priest has been faced with a problem which was, to any the least, out of the ordinary. During the celebration of the Mass of Nuptial Benediction, the officla- ting pricat noticed that not only were the invited people taking no interest in the service, but even the bride and bridegroom were paying little attention. They were in fact laughing.
The cause of the trouble was a amall acolyte who was varying the monotony of the Latin service with an exhibition of Yo Yo.
