Much to our regret,-an instalment, of
Mrs. Brynu’s matter this week, in
cluding the editorials and chat, failed
to reach the office in time to get in

WHICH IS THE TRUE PHILAN
THROPIST ?
There are two kinds of benevolence.
One is the kind which inspires a moil
who has mnd e tens of millions of dol
lars in the steel business, a/ter the fash
ion of men who control the output of
any article of human necessity, to erect
library after library in towns and cities
throughout the country for the purpose
of perpetuating his name, saddling upon
future generations the support of these
Institutions. The other kind is that of
the man in Now York who has erected
it home for working girls where those
who have to toil in rite shops of tlio
great city can obtain comfortable rooms
and the most nourishing of food at a
very moderate price. The fortune of tie
builder of libraries is so great that it
appalls the person who contemplates it.
The interest upon it would feed an army
for a. lifetime, vet in spending it thus
it does not relieve a single heartache
or lessen a single 'burden throughout
the land which gave the wealth. The
other man may lie comparatively poor.
The cost of Ills building is but $300,000,
and It is to be self-supporting. Nor
will this support come in the form of a
tax (for what some believoe to he a use
less luxury. It will represent only sums
of money which would have been spoilt
•by these young women for poorer ac
commodations and food ill-adapted to
their needs. The generosity oif the giver

than careful study of classic works, is

Professor Darwin, as Piny Woods Tom
says is a son of Charles Darwin, who
Is usua.'.ly considered the originator of
tlie evolution theory. Tile belief of the
editor of this journal taht evolution
should be as yet considered as a theorv.
and' not as a proven fact, is shared by
Professor Dnrvin as shown in the word,
inig of the subject of his address, which
Was. "The Present State of the Evolution
Theory.”
In introducing his address he says;
"In the mouths of the unscientific, evo
lution is often spoken of as almost syn
onymous. with the evolution of the va
rious species of animals on the earth,
and this again is sometimes thought to
be practically the same thing as the the

for continuous transformation of snn-

Prolfessop Darwin what is rathe- to be
expected is that there shanld be lonig
periods of slow "bange. Pollcnyed bv rap'd

She has a voice of gladness and a smile

would be a few smoke-darkened trees In

Another reason why I loved the back
woods Is that mother 'belonged to us
exclusively. If we Ind lived In town she
rii'S’ht have 'b^longred to society or to
s'teen clubs instead. Somebody asked a
city boy once wfim.se mother was away

when she’s here.” His mother belonged
to five clubs.
Hniwles seems to think it rather remark
able that backwoods people should be
cemented. I don’t see how they could
lie otherwise. ’There’s something in the
booklet’s song," Hawles:
"The tranquil peace, the fragrant air,
The sacred ctharm of growing things.
That stills the restless pulse of care.”
The following extract from an article
by Beatrice Hill expresses my sentiments"
exactly: “Up among the mountains of
Tennessee live a people who from In
