Atheist Today Merely a Survival of Rebellion
Against a Theology Now Gone
T
Uy RI’V. JOHN HAYNES HOLMES, New York Community Church.
IN THIS modern world, dominated by science, there is as little room
for the atheist as for the fundamentalist. Witness Einstein, who ha 9
just confessed his belief in God. I am not an atheist for three rea
sons: First, because the atheist in his attitude toward life is utterly
dogmatic; second, because atheism is utterly negative in its approach
to life, and last, because atheism explains nothing and this universe de
mands an explanation.
I am as much opposed as anybody to the Christian myth, which ex
plains the origin of the world and man in Genesis. But if this myth is
not true, what is true? This world is a living world. What is life, and
where does it come from? This world is an ordered world. What is this
order, and who established it? This world is a purposeful world—the
evolutionary process is taking us somewhere. Where? And why? And
how?
'These are questions which have to be asked—and therefore have to
be answered. And the atheist says nothing. Which makes him just a little
more contemptible than any other man whom I can think, for I had
rather have a man try to explain the world, however feebly or foolishly,
than to refuse to explain it at all.
The fact is, the atheist is a vestigial survival of earlier and much
more primitive periods of human thought. He made his appearance when
the untrue and immoral character of orthodox Christian theology was
first discovered. He represents the historical rebellion against this the
ology. But this theology is now gone and atheism should go with it. The
atheist in our days lags superflous upon the scene.
Desire to Get Rich Quick Without Work Root of
Increase of Crime
By RABBI STEPHEN S. WISE.
*
The stock speculation craze of the American people leads one to
wonder why there is not more crime than there is. You can’t expect a
nation to he without crime which has a desire to get rich quick without
work, without effort. I think this wretched, vulgar, gambling craze makes
genuine legitimate business impossible. Nine-tenths of the men and wom
en who have been sucked into this hellish craze have no more right to
the money they made lust year than would a man who jumped up here
and held a gun to my head for my purse. Those profits put a burden on
industry that created injustices to the workers. We should have nothing
but contempt and loathing for that cheap, vulgar mania.
The home has lost its authoritativeness, schools have become voca
tional factories in which teachers are expected to be mental robots, and
the church and synagogue are permitted to exist only as they keep them
selves remote from every problem of real life. The church in America
does not really care, except for a few shining examples. It does not will
to relate itself to real life.
The trouble is that the criminal class is just taken for granted. The
police don’t catch criminals. They catch physicians in birth-control
clinics. 1 venture to suggest to the police department that there are
more dangerous criminals footloose today than Mrs. Margaret Sanger.
The whole majesty of the police was exhibited the other day when a
few fine women were arrested doing a great, serviceable work.
Religion a Stream That Gathers Force With the
Progress of Humanity
By DR. TERCY DEARMER, King’s College, London.
The world is not yet good enough for Christ. It never has been;
few have really believed Him, though many have believed in Him. None
has carried on Ilis message untainted. Complete Christianity has seldom
been taught, and never tried; it lias been like a slender stream, trickling
through a vast river bed, sometimes disappearing underground, but some
times rising and spreading to fertilize the country, as the waters gather
in the Hills.
Could it have been otherwise? The greatness of Christ, His unap
proached perfection, is but more clearly shown by the contrast between
ourselves and Him.
But the church is very young. It has lived a mere nineteen hundred
years of human history; and the human race is a million years old, with
many millions yet before it. We are only beginning; we still are the
primitive church. And our hope is that we may now just be growing
out of our petulant childhood.
The religion of Christ is becoming more possible in the world be
cause the veils that have hidden Him are melting away before the clean
light of the knowledge which mankind has so laboriously acquired. From
guesses and assumptions we have passed to an age of exact observation
and intense devotion to truth. It may well be that the waters of that
truth will flood the course so divinely planned, till it becomes the river
of life for all humanity.
Small Town to Play Large Part in the Develop
ment of American Industry
By ROBERT S. BINKERD, New York Stock Exchange.
The small town is destined to play an increasingly important pan
in development of industry in the United States. The advantages of
concentration in many cities are far outweighed by the costs of conges
tion. Anyone who looks with unprejudiced eyes at the country’s largest
cities must realize that they contain thousands of businesses which could
be conducted with more profit in smaller communities.
You can ship a piano from Chicago to New York for about sl4, but
you can hardly haul it 20 blocks through New York city for that amount.
It costs nearly twice as much to transport fresh fruits and vegetables
through the city itself as it costs to produce them and transport them
nearly halfway across the continent.
.Most communities put the cart before the horse in attempting to
attract industries. They frequently strive with concessions to lure new
industry to the town. The right way to start is for the community to
take what it has and try to make it more prosperous.
The defects of many small-town businesses are obvious—lack of
knowledge of costs, lack of knowledge of possible markets, lack of mer
chandising skill and failure to keep up with the times are among the
chief of them. But if those problems are intelligently met it will he tin
greatest selling argument for the inducement of other industries to lo
cate there.

IttLD FOLKS SAY j
DR. CALDWELL
WAS RIGHT |
The basis of treating sickness has not
changed since Dr. Caldwell left Medical
College in 1875, nor since he placed on
the market the laxative prescription ho
had used in his practice.
He treated constipation, biliousness,
headaches, mental depression, indigestion,
sour stomach and other indispositions
entirely by means of simple vegetable
laxatives, herbs and roots. These aro
still the basis of Dr. Caldwell’s Syrup
Pepsin, a combination of _ senna and
other mild herbs, with pepsin.
The simpler the remedy for constipa
tion, the safer for the child and for you.
And as you can get results in a mild
and safe way by using Dr. Caldwell’s
Syrup Pepsin, why take chances with
strong drugs?
A bottle will last several months, and
all can use it. It is pleasant to the
taste, gentle in action, and free from
narcotics. Elderly people find it ideal.
All drug stores have the generous bottles,

Dairymen Gain
by Better Ways
Increased Butterfat Produc
tion Brought About
by Right Feeding.
(Prepared by the United Plates Department
of Agriculture.)
Owners of dairy cows in California
have added $64,297,051 to their in
come over a period of seven years by
raising the average butterfat produc
tion per cow for the entire state from
183 pounds in 1920 to 239.2 pounds In
1927, says B. 11. Crocheron, director
of co-operative extension work In Cal
ifornia, in a statement submitted to
the United States Department of Ag
riculture.
On Way to Goal.
At the beginning of the effort in
1920 the California extension service
set up as a goal, to be reached in ten
years, u state average production of
265 pounds of butterfat per cow. Sev
en years’ concentration on a dairy im
provement program, Including proper
feeding, breeding, and culling, has
brought them well on their way to ac
complishment of the goal within the
time set.
During the seven years the number
of cows under test in the regularly
organized cow-testing or dairy-herd
improvement associations increased
from 30,000 to over 70,000. The work
of these associations is the basis for
the improvement program. From the
testing records is derived the informa
tion necessary for proper feeding,
oreeding, and the detection of unprofit
able animals in the herd.
Other Big Factors.
Other factors in bringing up the av
erage in butterfat production have
been competitions both in individual
production and community records,
efficiency studies of individual herds,
use of better breeding stock, improve
ment of health of herds, provision of
better facilities for care and manage
ment of herds, and the introduction of
better management methods and bet
ter stock through the dairy work of
hoys and girls who are members of
4-H clubs. Only the sustained effort
of the extension staff and dairy cattle
owners on a long-time program, how
ever, Director Crocheron believes, has
made it possible to thus move forward
the entire production of a state and
collectively influence the average of
over half a million animals.
Alfalfa Pasture Great
Help in Producing Pork
Alfalfa pasture will produce more
pork per acre on the average than any
other forage crop. It is one of the
earliest pasture crops to be available
in the spring and if kept clipped when
necessary during the summer, it will
provide good forage until late in the
fall. Under average conditions an acre
of alfalfa will pasture from 10 to 20
shotes, depending on the conditions
previously mentioned. It should not be
pastured too closely as it does not
stand very heavy foraging. It prob
ably would be best to pasture it in
such a way as to permit the cutting
of two small crops of hay during the
season in addition to the pasture fur
nished. Alfalfa is a crop that is high
in protein and mineral matter, both
of which are very necessary in animal
growth and which are decidedly lack
ing in corn, the feed that forms the
oasis for practically all hog rations.
For this reason alfalfa is doubly valu
able as a forage crop.
Testing Seed Oats for
Germination Is Advised
Testing of seed oats for germina
tion is advised by L. F. Rickey, of the
University of Illinois, who says that
samples of seed oats received at the
university have shown a great vari
ation in germination.
Quite a few oats were “bin-burned”
in storage and the heat so generated
was sufficient to destroy the life of a
large part of the oats. Samples tested
at the university tested as low as 9
per cent.
A quick test of 200 or 300 kernels
in soil or moist cloths may be made
in the house, an assurance thus se
cured as to the vitality or lack oi
vitality of the seed before planting.
