March 192S 



Funnymentals 



''I. We believe in the Scriptures of 

 the Old and New Testament as verbally 

 inspired of God, and inerrant in the ori- 

 ginal writings, and that they are of 

 supreme and final authority in faith and 

 life. 



II. We believe in one God, eternally 

 existing in three persons, Father, Son and 

 Holy Spirit. 



III. We believe that Jesus Christ was 

 begotten by the Holy Spirit, and born of 

 the Virgin Mary, and is tine God and 

 true man. 



IV. We believe that man was created 

 in the image of God, that he sinned and 

 thereby incurred not only physical death 

 but also that spiritual death which is sep- 

 aration from God; and that all human 

 beings are bom with a sinful nature, and. 

 in the case of those who reach moral 

 responsibility, become sinners in thought, 

 word and deed. 



V. We believe that the Lord Jesus 

 Christ died for our sins according to the 

 Scriptures as a representative and sub- 

 stitutionary sacrifice; and that all that 

 believe in Him are justified on the ground 

 of His shed blood. 



VI. We believe in the resurrection of 

 the crucified body of our Lord, in His 

 ascension into heaven, and in His present 

 life there for us, as High Priest and Ad- 

 vocate. 



VII. We believe in "that blessed hope", 

 the personal, premillennial and imminent 

 return of our Lord and Saviour Jesus 

 Christ. 



VIII. We believe that all who receive 

 by faith the Lord Jesus Christ are born 

 again of the Holy Spirit and thereby be- 

 come children of God. 



IX. We believe in the bodily resur- 

 rection of the just and the unjust, the 

 everlasting felicity of the saved and the 

 everlasting conscious suffering of the lost.' '

EVOLUTION VERSUS THEOLOGY 

 Maynard Shipley, evolutionist, and John 

 Roach Straton, fundamentalist, debated 

 March 7th at the Civic Center Auditorium 

 in San Francisco. 



Approximately five thousand people, 

 mostly fundamentalists, attended and fer- 

 vently applauded their speaker, and boo- 

 hooed science and evolution. 



Upon leaving the auditorium an appar- 

 ently intelligent person was heard to re- 

 mark: "I never before believed that man 

 descended from monkey, but since I have 

 seen five thousand people fervently applaud 

 fundamentalism, which has given us no- 

 thing, and attempt to boohoo science, which 

 has given us everything. I am thoroughly 

 convinced that man didn't descend from 

 monkey, but that he still is one.'' /. Baxter 



NEWS FROM ARKANSAS 

 Although the Secretary of State in Ar- 

 kansas writes that no petition has been 

 filed with him as yet, we have definite 

 report that the fundamentalists have al- 

 ready secured enough signatures to their 

 petition to place the question of evolution 

 on the ballot in Arkansas at the next 

 election. 



EVOLUTION ON THE AIR 

 Maynard Shipley, President of the Sci- 

 ence League of America, is giving a series 

 of talks on evolution over the radio (Sta- 

 tion KFRC, San Francisco) at 4 P. M. 

 Pacific time on alternate Thursday after- 

 noons, March 15th, 29th, etc. 



Readers of Evolution having followed 

 Mr. Shipley's splendid articles in this 

 journal will surely be delighted to hear 

 him, and lo ask their friends also to listen 

 in. Let Station KFRC know that this is 

 appreciated. 



AND NOW KENTUCKY 

 Representative Hobbs of Wolfe and 

 Powell Counties, Kentucky, has just in- 

 troduced an anti-evolution bill in the Ken- 

 tucky General Assembly. This body voted 

 dov\-n an anti-evolution bill in 1921 by 42 

 to 41. and again defeated the proposition 

 in 1926. Bui since then the Fundamental- 

 ist Bible Crusaders. Ku Klux Klan, etc., 

 have been active in Kentucky and the 

 outcome this time is by no means assuied.

MY ANCESTORS 



At work or play from day to day 



I dream of them serenely, 

 Not just as folks are thought to dream 



Of forbears quaint and queenly; 

 Of Kings and Lords, with crowns and 

 swords, 



The artists are but jesters, 

 But of the sort that science says 



Were likely our ancestors. 



I watch my wife, with fork and knife 



And aU her house utensils. 

 Or at my desk I take account, 



Of papers, books, and pencils; 

 And quick as scat, all this and that 



Has vanished quite completely, 

 And I am some perplexed to tell 



The simple truth discreetly. 



My wife is there, dressed just in hair 



And hide, to put it plainly. 

 Or rather I should say, my wives; 



I try to blush quite vainly. 

 If that is me I humbly see 



Rubbing my note, and scratching 

 In the inimitable way 



Of monkeys who are matching. 



On every band the monkey band 



Are in a merry riot; 

 They live, these ancestors of mine 



Upon a simple diet; 

 They do not work, they do not shirk. 



Nor go to church on Sunday, 

 And as they have no clothes to soil 



They never wash on Monday. 



Tliey have no creeds, no title deeds. 



Nor lawyers nor physicians; 

 No flags or governments to breed 



A pest of politicians; 

 They have no cooks, they have no books. 



No landlords and no tailors. 

 No soldiers and no serving-men. 



No preachers and no jailors. 



My ancestors, and also yours. 



However we deny them, 

 Whether for better or for worse 



Our present ways belie them: 

 I wonder much at such and such. 



By decent folks defended, 

 And sometimes feel too sure that man 



Is from the ape descended.
