SURANCES TO CONVENTION.
HOUSTON, May 15—(&)—Evolu
tion was dealt a final blow at South
ern Baptist Convention here today
when a resolution by S. E. Tull of
Pine Bluff, Ark., requesting all in--
stitutions, boards, and missionary
representatives to give assurance to
the convention of acceptance of the
convention’s previous declaration on
evolution as a statement of faith
was adopted.
The previous declaration says man
is the work of God alone, rejecting
“any teachings that man originated
in, or came in any way, from a lower
animal ancestry.”
