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. THE ROCKDALE RECORD, Conyers- Ga., Wed., June •>, UW- 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.

(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.
