earth in six days and on the seventh
day He rested. This is but another
way of stating the same thing. Most
scientists and thinking people believe
that a "day" means a long period of
time or an "age." If we concede it
means an "age," then creation must
have been gradual and veiy slow and
not instantaneous.
Geologists tell us it must have
taken ages to form different strata
found in the earth, to form the min
erals, coal and- precious stones. If
we study nature today we find it
takes time to form anything. It takes
time for the" acorn to become an oak.
It' takes time for nature to grind the
rock into sand. It takes time to wear
away the stone to make a Colorado
canyon.
If it takes time in the present, it is I certainly enjoy the editor's writ-
a logical conclusion that it took time rings. Also, you are not afraid to say
about better conditions, better envi
ronments and turning the desert into
a paradise. Bertha Fontayne, 6448

LIKES CONFESSfONS OF A
WIFE. I have been reading "The
Oonf essionB of a Wife" ever since the
first chapter was published. I can
not afford' to miss' one book. I feel
pretty well acquainted with Margie
Waverly and like her writing very
much indeed and. hope for speedy re
covery, so we can-read some more of
her writings Qf herself, although her
writing of her friend's story is very
interesting (the stdry of Paula New

herself.
in the beginning, for nature's laws,
which are God's Maws, have not
changed. God is the same yesterday,
today and forever. The earth, there

in the beginning, for It also has-
'changed or evolved up Jo its present
stage to afford suitable conditions
for the sustenance of the life that is

How does man grow wiser? In the
way stated above. The real man, the
ego who never dies, after' taking his

a new physical body many, many
times, getting in each life new experi

JUDGES. Tour clean, upright and
straightforward little Day Bopk holds
a big place In my heart, arid, being a
true friend, I cannot see you err and
operates more and more with thernl say nothing. Mr. Cochran's letter of

more ignorant brother, bringing- should not enforce laws passed by
Oct. 9 to Judge K M. Landis is the
subject of my criticism.
The laws of this country are made
by various law-making bodies who
are selected more or less directly by
the people. And it is the duty of
judges to interpret these laws, and
no more. For a judge to take it upon
himself to make the law would
amount to depriving our citizens of
the self-government for which they
have so long struggled. And it is this
law-making by Judges that you com
mend in your letter. You say "the
real fun of it, however, would be or
dering Law out of the courtroom
every time it did not spell Justice."
In effect, you recommend tha,t judges
