Officer for Forty Dayi. .
In a Mior to the Rev. E. S. Wor
cester, pastor of tlie F!rt C'on
grrgntioiial chinch of which l'rct
dent ttirsc ha been an officer for 40
years, lie reaerlcd expreMonj tnade
to Mr. Hi van following hi fpecch
to Mndiiita here declaring that he
had "ncvir found it nccewary to
justify religion to tcience or excuse
scirmc to religion."
"I have accepted both a equally
divine revelations and both as
('liijlly wrought into the constitu
tion of the world." President Birge
said. "I have believed that wisdom
and might are God's and I have
equally hdicved that science reveals
to us how that might and that wis
doni arc expressed in the operation
of the world.
Ground for Objection.
"Mr. llryan teemed to dislike espe
cially my objecting to his uniting re
ligion to a "discredited scientific hy
pothesis.' I think that the history
of the church gives good ground
for my objection. In the ISth cen
tury people were told that the doc
trine of a round world was 'atheis
tic' and a century or so later the
Copvrnican astronomy was called
'atheistic.' In the 19th century evolu
t'ou in like manner was called
"atheistic" by men of whom Mr.
Lryan is a belated follower.
, "Did such teachings help religion
in the past and is there any good
reason to think Mr. Bryan will suc
ceed where his predecessors have
failed dismally during four centuries?
Another thing that seems to trouble
Mr. Bryan is the fact that I told him
. that his teachings were 'atheistic'
rather than the teachings of evolu
tion. I had a real meaning and pur
pose in thus calling the attention of
Mr. Bryan-definitely and sharply to
the religious harm that may come
from his, teachings.
Harmful Effect.
, "Nowif St. Paul was right, if God
is to be sought for and found in the
teachings that 'are not far from.
, everyone of us' then those w ho urge
us rather to look for God's creative
activity in the remote past 'do err,
not knowing the scriptures nor the
power of God.' They are turning the
seeker for God from the right track
and putting him on one that is only
too iikcly to lead him away from
God.
"The harmful effect of such teach
ings was clearly seen in many of
those who used to oppose evolution.
They told nie that we bear an image
of God because of God's work in
the Creation of a remote ancestor,
but they never thought of telling us
that God sent forth His spirit and
created in His image you and Hie
and every baby that is born. They
talked as men who had never found
God, who is daily and hourly giving
to all of us life and breath and all
' things.
"It was rke presence in Mr. Bry
an's speech of this attitude of mind
that called out my protest to him."
File Petition to Take Over
' Pyramid Company Assets

commerce asked district court late

U. S. May Abandon

Hr AmktUiM lrM.
Wellington, Fth. 17, Military
defence of the lMnlippine may be
completely abandoned by the I'nitfJ
States, even hrlme ratification of the
four-power raeilic treaty,.
The trr i known to be under
coniilrraiion in the War depart
ment. If it i carried out under pre'
ure for further reduction of the
strength of the army the garrUoti
which hat been maintained in the
island for defensive purpoxci ever
iince the firt American troops
landed under Dewey'i gun in IH1,
will be cut to nd more than a police
force to tupport the authority of the
innular government. .
Should thin policy be finally
adopted, it wilt be bard on the con
tention the treaty guarantees the
security of the inlands from attack
by any signatory power and that
they should be left to the protec
tion of international good faith. As
an evidence of its own complete
good faith, such action by the L'nitcd
States, it was said, would have
striking emphasis. The possibility
of aggression against the islands by
any nonsignatory power is regarded
as so remote as not to deserve con
sideration. In any event, it was said the
provisions of the naval limita
tion treaty -setting up a status quo
agreement as to defenses of. the
Philippines or other 'islands covered
by its terms, prevents establishment
of fortifications adequate to repel an
invader bent on occupation of Manila.
