SCIENCE NOT AT CONFLICT

(Continued from Page1.)

No advance in knowledge during the present century has produced any new fact or well-grounded theory which makes belief more difßeult to day than it was in the last century. Rather has tho pen- dulum of science awung from the dull, dead materialism of the Victorians to a greater recognition

There is something pathetic

mult of blind chance or necessity, When thus reflecting I feel com- pelled to lank to a Firit Cause, having an intelligent mind in somo degree analogous to that of men; and I deserve to be called a Theist. But, then arises the doubt can the mind of man, de- veloped, I fully believe, from mind as low as that possessed by the lowest animals, be trusted when it drawn such grand con- clusions ?"?

"The Green Pastures."

I quote the above because I enn- not but feel that Professor Huxley falls into the same fallacy. It is. uselcas to discuss the hypothetical origins and childish fancies. of primitive religion. It would be as fair to condemn Christianity is a result of criticising the presenta tion of the beliefs of the' coloured folk in "The Green Pastures." ̧¡

Mother-Love,

"Christians are not held to- a fundamentalist and over anthro- pomorphic interpretation of the Bible, and it is only such interpre- tation that makes Christianity stand in contradiction to true science

Christ's revelation gave new force and authentication to the conclu- | |sions of philosophic theism. When He taught us the "Our Father,"! He armed, what thejem conclud- ed, that some true analogy is to be found between the human perfection of mother-love and the Creator's attitude towards men, and that God is Love,

To Tall back on Freud and' the Now Paychologists with their sub- jective father-complex" solution of the philosophy of theism, is to dethrong reason, man's highest faculty. The Summa of St. Thomas is not based on such an insecure foundation, nor can psycho-analysis interpret it in terms of a complex.

One final word. Mr. Huxley avoids the all-important matter of personal immortality. Theisin can- not be indifferent to the solution of that question. If man be not immortal and if all human life and napiration is to end in the scrap- heap of the universe which science prophesies to be its destiny, then the experiment of creation would have been the sardonio jest of a fiend. If "aternal values" weigh for any thing the human mind cannot. fnce that hypothesis. Till it is provad to be true we have no need of Mr. Huxley's religion without God."

HAD TO LEAVE OFF SHAVING

Irritating Rash on Face. Healed by Cuticura.

In the early spring of this year my face broke out in a red rash which was very irritating. When I rubbed it with Tay fingers water used to come from it. I had to leave off shaving on account of it. The trouble lasted three weeks.

"I read an advertisement for Cuticura free Boap and Ohmment and sent for sample. After the second application the irritation was relieved. I purchased more] and after using them a fortnight I was completely healed." (Signed) E. J. Kerr, 21, Wellington Rd., Barnsbury, Lon den, N. 7. Eng.
