KIWANIANS l L'-J 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 ?

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.
