 in the University of Texas. ... No per- 

 son who does not believe in God as the 

 Supreme Being and the Ruler of the Uni- 

 verse shall hereafter be employed." 

 — Rule adopted by the Regents of the

"Any thoughtful man should be against 

 this awful theory of evolution. It should 

 be legislated, routed, run and kicked out 

 of existence back to its place of origin 

 which is in hell, because its teachings are 

 against the word of God." 

 — From a letter mitten to "The Knox- 

 ville Neivs." 



'"I accept and believe the Bible account 

 of Creation as the direct act of God; the 

 Bible record of miracles; the immediate 

 and infallible inspiration of the Holy 

 Scriptures as the very word of God. . • . 

 As a teacher I will, without compromise, 

 steadfastly stand for these fundamental 

 things, and actively resist every encroach- 

 ment upon them within my sphere of 

 service." 



— From the Bethel College Credal State- 

 ment, quoted from The Cumberland 

 Presbyterian Bulletin, McKemie, 

 Tenn. 



'■If a minister believes and teaches evo- 

 lution, he is a stinking skunk and a liar." 

 — Billy Sunday. 



"We are not going to stop until we 

 have driven every Modernist out of our 



pulpits and seminaries and editorial 



chairs. We are going to put them out 

 // it takes our lives to do it." 



—The Rev. Cluirles HUlman Fountain, 

 Plcdnfield, N. J. 



"If the evolutionists are getting ready 

 to produce proof that our forefathers — 

 way, way back — really were monkeys — 

 let's get together and Ku Klux them be- 

 fore their proof gets before the public — 

 let's quit chattering about it and act — 

 let's stop them from monkeying with such 

 subjects." 

 — Editorial from "The Neu' Menace." 



"So far as I am concerned, so help mc 

 God, I will not be a party to wink at, 

 support, or even remain silent when any 

 group, clique, crowd or machine under- 

 takes to ram down the throats of Southern 

 Baptists that hell-bom, Bible-destroying, 

 deity-of-Christ denying, German rational- 

 ism known as evolution." 



—The Rev. }■ Frank N orris 

 in the San Antonio "News."

ON ENEMY TERRITORY 

 liyARFARE will be carried into the 

 enemy territory when the subject of 

 evolution is discussed at the next annual 

 meeting of the American Association for 

 the Advancement of Science assembling in 

 fundamentalist Tennessee. At the Nash- 

 ville convention, which will be held dur- 

 ing Christmas week, a number of noted 

 scientists are expected to discuss the 

 subject. 



The association is particularly well 

 adapted to bring the problems raised by 

 anti-evolutionary propaganda before the 

 attention of the public because of its 

 large membership, amounting to approxi- 

 mately 17,000 people in all parts of the 

 United States and abroad. Through its 

 meetings and publications, it keeps this 

 group in touch with current happenings 

 in the world of science and promotes co- 

 operation and good fellowship among scien- 

 tists. Through its meetings large numbers 

 of scientists are brought into friendly con- 

 tact and given an opportunity to under- 

 stand one another's points of view- 



The weekly journal. Science, which is 

 the ofificial organ of the association, fur- 

 nishes an open forum for the discussion of 

 questions relating to science and educa- 

 tion. It is sent free to all members in 

 good standing. Members also receive re- 

 ports of meetings. 



Expenses of the organization are met by 

 the S5 entrance fee and the yearly dues of 

 annual members at $5 each. All who are 

 interested in the work and aims may ob- 

 tain further information by addressing Dr. 

 Burton E. Livingston. Permanent Secretary, 

 Smithsonian Institution Building, Wash- 

 ington, D. C.

 mail them sample copies.

 AMMUNITION?

 copies of Evolution. Surely YOU 

 don't want to remain in such a pickle. 

 The best way out is for you to fill

 lowing blank in a hurry.
