was published by Sherman French & Co., of Boston, 

 and repubHshed by The Open Court PubHshing Com- 

 pany of Chicago. Every Christian preacher should^ 

 procure a copy of this book and it should be in the 

 hands of every Christian layman who is anxious to aid |

 States, and he furnishes proof, which, as long as it h 

 unchallenged, seems conclusive. He takes a book con- | 

 taining the names of fifty-five hundred scientists — the 

 names of practically all American scientists of promi- 

 nence, he afBrms — and sends them questions. Upon 

 the answers received he asserts that more than one- 

 half of the prominent scientists of the United States,:] 

 those teaching Biology, Psychology, Geology and His- 

 tory especially, have discarded belief in a personal G( 

 and in personal immortality. 



This is what the doctrine of evolution is doing foi 

 those who teach our children. They first discard the ^ 

 Mosaic account of man's creation, and they do it on the ;

 acles of the Old and New Testament cannot be cut out 

 without a mutilation that is equivalent to rejection. 1 

 They reject the supernatural along with the miracle, 

 and with the supernatural the inspiration of the Bible 

 and the authority that rests upon inspiration. If these " 

 believers in evolution are consistent and have the cour- 

 age to carry their doctrine to its logical conclusion,
