John Wesley ^ on Evolution
There is bound to come some good
out of the present discussion about
evolution. For one thing, it is tag
ging the intolerant fundamentalist so
that all may see and know him. His
illiberality harms his own cause. His
. closed mind makes it impossible for
him to know anything more than he
now knows. His lips inanities, speak
the language of the bigot, and hats
l^ke a Turk.
The human race, through evolution,
is moving upward and onward. It
would be strange indeed if everything
in the world showed improvement and
pogress except man. According to so
called fundamentalism, man was fin¬
ished in the beginning just as he is
now. This, of course, can’t be true.
t The facts give it the lie, for progress
and improvement can be seen with
the natural eye, even in man,
John Wesley, the founder of Meth
odism, realized that growth
tion) is a fact. He never sought to
combat it, but recognized the facts as
they appeared before him. A fit man
is an impossible absurdity, and the
suggestion of such a thing is an in¬
sult to intelligence.
"if these fundamentalists who Want
to consign to their specially construct¬
ed hell all those who disagree with
them will read, ana think if they can,
they will find it a cure for their gig
otry—at least a palliative.
In John Wesley’s works under the
heading, ‘A General View of the
Gradual Progression of Beings,” the
great churchman says:
“By what degrees does nature raise
-herself to man? How will she rectify
this head that is always inclined to¬
■
ward earth? How change these paws
into flexible arms ? What method will
she make use of to transform these

A town is known to the outside

newspapers have extended its bor¬

SUCCESS OF LIES KIWA
IN ITS MANY LOCAL CLUBS
"It is generally admitted that the success of Kiwanis Interna*
tional lies in its local 01111)8," George H. Ross, of Toronto, Canada, past
president of Kiwanis International, told five thousand Kiwanians at the
i>th annual convention of the service organization held at Saint Paul. Minn.,
last week.
"It is for this reason that all clubs must be made up of men
of undoubted integrity. men who stand high in their own communities,"
he advised the delegates representing 1380 clubs wide-spread over the
North American continent.
Describing Kiwanis membership as an opportunity for service
in a worth-while way. the convention speaker outlined the many activities
and interests that a club has in any locality. “Find a club where mem¬
bership is representative of the business, professional and agricultural life
of the community, and you will find a club of which Kiwanis can be
proud." he remarked.
“A decade or more ago it became apparent that the centuries
old doctrine of co-operation was disappearing in the deluge of modern i Mil
provements and conveniences which render the city man practically inde¬
pendent of his neighbor. The threatened disappearance of the old tine
community spirit resulted in the birth of various service clubs, of which
Kiwanis is proud to be a senior member.
Speaking of the many clubs in the United States and Canada,
Mr. Ross likened them to show-rooms and workshops of the world. ‘‘The
world looks into these clubs and sees a vast army of forward looking men
pledged to carry out to successful conclusions many activities for civic
betterment," he said.
"Let us always think of our members in terms of men being
the one regenerative force that can do for this old world of ours the many
things so near to our hearts. The world is rich in splendid men, those
ftho would welcome an opportunity for such service as Kiwanis offers. - ’
The past International president also urged that members he
selected who consider it the joy of life to serve others.
SANDERS HARRIS RETURNS
WITH WONDERFUL REPORT
T. Sanders Harris has returned from Saint Paul, Minn.,
where he represented the Kiwanis Club of Fort Valley in brilliant
style. He brings a wonderful report, burning with inspiration for
us, and will make the next meeting, on Friday, August 7, following
the peach season recess, one long to be remembered as an event of
revelation in opportunities for great Kiwanis service and achieve¬
ments. We’re going to have a mighty meeting when we get to¬
gether again on August 7.

“City Limits” out two miles, five
miles, evt n ten miles and more, where
hard roads and advertising are used,
Instead of their city limits being
by the signboard erected by the town
council, they can set them by their
reputation for service and their ad
vertising in the local paper to in
elude an area a hundred times as
large; yes, even a thousand times as
great! A dealer’s store occupies im¬
portant space on main street, space
that is worth $100 to $500 a month,
frequently. The more people brought
from outside into that store, the more
economical service he can render the
I community, and the more profit to

I munity.—Walton News.
