England Sir AmbroseHemmirg. i
whois eighty five years old, ?n '
his presidential address given to
the Victoria Institute and Philo
sophical Society of Great Bi itain
started the scientists by calling
ingtheDtrwin theory of evolu
tion. He said that the Darwin
theory of evolution is a product
of the imagination. It is not
scientific. Sir Ambrose has been
long one of the outstanding
scientists and philosophers of
England “I cannot consider,
that we have any serious proof of
the evolution of man from an
animal We have not the smallest
knowledge of how empty space
became occupied with the most
rudimentary form so matter
Sir Ambrose declared that he |
believed in the bodily resm rec
tion of Jesus and that this i- toe
best attested fact tn human his
tory He said that tne resurrec .
tion of Jesus fr - the d-d ,
fled all the previous mirrcles o'
the Lord.

ally a great science like & :
Ambrose and IsaacNuwWU know
the Word of God and ween they
do know it they bciievi it. The
writer hat never met any man or
woman who really knew the
Bible who didn't believe it. I
cannot understand bow any
teacher of science can accept the
guesses of Darwin and repudiate
the authority of the Bible. 1
should like to say especially to
young people, ’ Pay no attention
to the high sounding words ol
wordly wise men who ridicule
the Bible. The Bible is the Book
of Books, it will stand any kind
of test, scientific or otherwise.
It is flawless. It is what it claims
to be —the Word of God.”

If approved in this populai
vote, counties, upon demand ol
10 per cent of their registered
voters, will determine if they are
j 0 permit legal sale of liquor.
The house action was consider
ed a victory for repealists and
the final vote was accom plied
with wild shouting. How the
measure, a compromise involving
several liquo- and local option
measures, will be received in the
senate remains to be seen.
Under the bill municipalities
or counties could operate liquoi
stores if their governing bodies
elected to do so. Permits would
