Quarreling Over Adam.
The Presbyterian General Assembly
is having a happy time wrangling over
the creation of Adam. Dr. Woodrow
of Ga. is a believer in evolution and
some of his southern brethern of the
same church have been endeavoring to
compel him to shut up or force him
out of the church, but the irrepressible
Dr. Woodrow stoutly resists their ef
forts on either band; and the case has
been brought to the highest esurt in
the church to determine whether the
Dr. is right in denying that Adam was
a literal product of the dust, or the pro
duct ot organic matter through a long
series of changes, which Darwin has
described as evolution. The southern
sticklers of the dust theory call upon
the Assembly to decide that the Bible
establishes their theory and that the
Reverend Woodrow’s preaching Is
rank heresy.
Dr. Adams is the principal prosecu
tor in the case of this singular, scientific
theolgy of Dr. Woodrow, aud in the
course of his speech in replying to Dr.
Woodrow, said: ‘ln his (Dr. Wood
row’s) address before the alumni asso
ciation he gives his views on evolu
tion, about which there can be no
doubt.
FROM FISHES TO MAN.
“For a long time fishes were the
highest being on earth, then came a
frog, a tadpole. This little fellow swam
ashore and this was the landing of our
ancestors.” This sally created a loud
laugh, in which Dr. Woodrow heartily
joined, but Dr. Adams kept on: “Then
they got a snake: then the lowest
mammalion, a creature with a back
bone; then the higher,and so on. They
got a creature, I’ll not call him a
monkey either, but they cut his claws,
straightened him out, lengthened his
legs, straightened his nose, fixed up his
head. Then they shaved him, aud, to
make bim clean, they pummiced him,
and at last God steps in, and, with di
vine intervention, puts a soul in him.
Then he was the ‘hi ad and crowu of
creation.’ This is evolution. Dr-
Woodrow here draws a distinction be
tween the body and soul of Eve and
the body of Adam.”
Such a wrangle in a church among
learned doctors in this age of the world
is farsical and most ridiculous. Neith
er of the disputants or the listening
assembly know, or can know any more
about Adam than the mythical man in
the moon.
Miss McDowell’s Lecture.
Pursuant to appointment Miss
Mary McDowell, of Chicago, organ -
izer of the Young Woman’s Chris
tian Temperance Unions, lectured
in the M. E. Church hereon Tuesday
evening. The Church was well filled,
and the fair lecturer was introduced
by Mrs. Jewell, who, however, pre
ceded the lecturer of the evening in
the delivery of a carefully prepared
address, or report of the work of the
!V. C. T. U.; what tb .* association is
doing, how they are doing the work
and what they propose to accomplish.
Mrs. Jewell, after reading her ad
dress introduced Miss McDowell.
The young lady is not au eloquent
speaker but rather a plain talker,
evidently a worker and organizer-
Her earnestness impresses her au
dience at once and makes a very
plain talk interesting. She gave a
sketch of the work she is engaged io,
its small beginning, how she chanced
to become an active worker and lead
er in it, and how they propose to
carry forward the work. The chief
attention ot this branch of the tem
perance army is directed to the
young. By banding the boys and
girls together aud educating them,
they propose to fill the social world,
the fashionable and the political also,
in the next generation with an edu
cated poDtilation, learned in all the
evils which the old customs in the
use of alcoholics led to. As the
present generation has been educated
in the use of alcoholic liquors, they
propose to educate the gonsrstion to
take its place away from the alco
holic period, and by exposing its
dangers, and preventing it from
seizing the appetite of the boys and
girls, thus end its evils by banishing
it entirely as a beverage, and re
THE rMIIDLAJSrD J'OTXIRasr.AI,: TvT A-y 2S, 1888
striding alcohol to the narrow lim
its of arcenic, opium and other dan
gerous drugs, when the bottle con
ta’ning it shall be marked “poison’’
with the death's head and cross
bones. Hence Mis 9 McDowell’s ad
dress was directed principally to the
girls and boys interspersed with ex
planations of her work and anecdotes
of her experience.
A choir of little girls sang several
temperance songs, and Miss Mary
Haines presided at the organ.
The speaker referred to the tem
perance sentiment in Cecil county io
terms of the warmest praise, and
always spoke of your “local option
in Ceei' county.’’ From her frequent
use of the stereotyped expression it
was clearly evident that site had been
carefully instructed to always use
the phrase “local option.’ If we
have a ‘ local option” law in Cecil
county we will certainly take a vote
at the next general election to ascer
tain whether it is optional with the
majority to grant license to sell
liquor in the county- Wc find, how
ever, that there is no such law in ex
istence, and the only road to liquor
license in this county is through the
legislature, exactly the course which
would have to be pursued in the
State of lowa to introduce legal
liquor traffic. The State oi lowa is
every where counted as one of the
Prohibition States. That state has
just such a law as Cecil county pass
ed by the legislature prohibiting the
9ale of liquor in every county of the
State, (it is not a constitutional pro
vision) and may be repealed by the
legislature but can not by the option
of a popular vote, neither can tht law
of this county. It would be very
ridiculous to say the local option
State of lowa, hut not more so than
to say local option law of Cecil
county. While Miss McDowell was
pleading so earnestly for prohibition,
it was a little humiliating to those
who knew better to hear her—in an
inadvertant manner, to be sure—
pleading with the local option propa.
gand to push on to the sure goal
of prohibition. Local option is a
half way measure, and implies a
doubt of the propriety and justice oi
a law. Its claim is not established
in right, but admits virtually that
the liquor trade is right in its
inherent nature, and is only a matter
of sentiment, or convenience, or busi
ness with the majority. Now Pro
hibition radically differs from this
version and pronqunces the business
a crime, placing it in the catalogue
of crimes, and it is nothing short of
an insult to the temperance senti
ment of Cecil county to classify it
as “local option” sentiment. And
to make the insult more poignant
the W. C. T. U. are trepanned into
allowing one of their foreign lectur
ers to go through the county and
patronizingly praise the temperance
people for being such - sturdy local
optiouists, with an implied hope that
they will, by and by, reach the full
fruition of Prohibition!
The Nine Eights.
At the session of the State Tem
perance Alliance held in Baltimore
Mrs. J. A. Milligan, of Zion, this
county, gave an interesting account
of women’s temperance work in her
state and county. She has a pleas
ant face and is an unusually good
talker. “Woman’s mission,’ Mrs.
Milligan said, “is to be found in nine
eights—educate, stimulate, remon
strate, agitate, circulate, consolidate,
elevate, regulate and supplicate ”
Rev. S- 11. Cummings in his speech
on the first day of the Al.iance ses
sion said that 19 out of the 22
counties of Maryland had voted Jdry
where the prohibition question had
been submitted.
Our neighbor, the Appeal, is puzzled
to account for the matter of immigra
tion flawing from free trade commu
nities over the sea to protective tariff
America, (they are said to all be
friends of free trade) 8000 land) dr at
New York in oiie day last week.
That’s easy. They have beard of the
Mills Bill, and waut to be on hand to
have a fair start with it. Don’t you

Rowlandville Notes.
Special services in the Rowlandville
M. E. Church closed on Thursday
evening last. Quite a number of
penitents bowed at the alter during
these meetings and several were hap
pily converted. Large and appre
ciative audiences attended wLile
these special services were in prog
ress. The following ministers assist
ed the pastor, Fred E. McKinsey, in
this revival effort: Revs. S- W.
Bounds, Taylors Island, Dorchester
Co., Md.; John Jones of Hopewell;
J. P. Otis, of Tome Memorial Church
Port Deposit; Mr. Grant ofM. P.
Church at Rowlandville, Milton
Grant and Robert Hodge, students
at Westminster, Baltimore, Md. and
Dr. W. L. 8. Murray, P. E. of the
Wilmington District. The commu
nity and Churches were much helped
by the services just closed, and it is
to be hoped that the seed sown may
yet yield an abundant harvest.
Revs. Robert and James Grant,
sons of the pastor of the M. P.
Church at Rowlandville, and Rev.
Robert Hodge of the same town, are
now at home on a vacation from
Westminster, Baltimore, Md., where
they have been enrolled as students.
Mr Hodge leaves next Tuesday for
his field of labor for the summer
months. Rev. Milton Grant will
assist his father on his charge which
is made up of three appointments,
the church at Rowlandville, called
Harmony, Bethesda and Porter’s
Grove-
Several new barns and houses are
in course of erection in and about
our neighboring villages. At Colors,
a new house is going up on J. W.
McCullough’s farm, and a small
frame dwelling is nearing completion
at New valley. Eli Ewing and Sarn’l
McCardell, near Mt. Pleasant Church,
have the foundations laid for new
houses. The paint and white wash
brushes are doing much to brighten
up dingy fences, etc., at this time of
the year.
