Are the various species of plants and animals fixed? They are fixed in the sense that each is a separate species. See Hill's The Catholic's Ready Answer," for a popular explanation of evolution. Have the various species of plants «lld animals preserved their identity ADDRESS BY uma Con in ued lout cation, at least as much as does his brother of the city. It is only the trained mind that can detect the scien tific side of farming and by scientific experiment contribute to its advance ment. The educated farmer will not oiily wrest richer fruit from the soil, but he will know how to market to better profit the produce of his fields. The higher education will enable the firmer to create a healthy public opin ion in favor of his noble occupation and to take a hand in legislature and congress in framing laws which would benefit state and nation. Mental cul ^8re would make the farmer's long #inter nights more agreeable, it Would sweeten the cup of toil and counteract the debasing tendencies of material occupation. Were the graces at higher education more profusely Mattered upon the farming popula tion, there would be less tiring of the farmer, less rushing to the empty glare and the deep pitfalls of the city life, and more of our great men would be recruited from the country. Material prosperity and the higher ^Oucation, while powerful factors in Attaching the farmer to the soil and making his vocation attractive, are »pt sufficient. To these must be add ed religion, if the farmer would attain £tie full measure of earthly happiness ahiJ rank among the best citizens of his country. "Piety is useful for all things," says St. Paul, "having the promise of the life that now is, as well to of that .which is to come." There can be no genuine personal happiness and no peace or order in society with out. morality, and there can be no morality without religion. "We should indulge with caution," said Washing ton, in his farewell address, "the sup position that morality can prevail in exclusion of religious principle." Education and Religion. Nqw, if religion is needed for life, religion in education is necessary: for education is a preparation for life. Chief Justice Taft, former president of the United States, in a recent lec ture at the University of Rochester, a&id: "Not only is education neces sary,'but even more essential is moral training—a sense of responsibility for what we do, a standard of action which satisfies conscience. It can hardly be separated from religion. It ftb unfortunate that we cannot well linite religion and moral training in the instruction in public schools. Re ligion is the great stay of morality." All intelligent citizens who have the •Welfare of their country at heart share Die regret of Mr. Taft. Catholics at the cost of great sacrifice have tried to remedy this defect by establishing schools of their own. Protestants, Realizing the insufficiency of religious ttistruction in the tiome and the Sun day school, are quite generally trying to put it back into the public school —from which they now see it was un wisely banished. The fact that, ac cording to recent religious census, about two-thirds of the American peo ple are not affiliated with any denomi nation is admitted by all to be due in some measure, if not in great part, to the absence of religion from the public schools. Until some plan can be agreed upon by which all the chil dren of the republic, can receive the religious instruction of their choice in the schools of the state, the church es must do their best, says Mr. Taft again, "to stimulate religion and its practices. Every university," he con tinues, "should encourage its students to the worship of God. As long as the United States remains a religious na tion, there is no danger of the corro sion of bolshevism. communism or any destructive and cruel cult. Christian civilization rests ultimately on the in spiration of the religious spirit. It Is that which will render innocuous, and neutralize the evil effect of selfishness, which is necessary to give energy and thrift and industry to ma terial progress. It is that spirit which sweetens life with the love of family, of country and of God. It is the pres ervation of the spirit of the father hood of God and the brotherhood of tnai* upon which w,e must depend for the maintenance of useful constitu tional government." Taft on Toleration. Beautiful, patriotic and religious are thoete words of Chief Jutsice Taft! jEver* school, college and uuivei&Uy i, j--- to reliflrlM-wilt W St. Taul. through all tlri|e cur h*ve. th*y under gone changes? Ail the species of animals and plants have not reihained static and there have beea changes, that ^de velopment. What does tfce fefble teach about this, namely, change in forms of cre ation? If we read the first chapters of the book of Genesis there we will find a statement of the fact of creation. The Bible tells of the fact of creation, but Jt does not tell us the primitive forms and in no way excludes devel opment. We must believe that God created the world, but the Bible tells no more than that j^bout the early types of creatures. In certain cases species can be crossed with others and thus produce a new form. There is considerable confusion as to the exact meaning of the word, species. The old idea was' that a species re mains ever fixed and unchangeable others hold that only a few species were created and that these produced later varieties. Both beliefs are found among Catholic writers. In no case, however, can we exclude the creation of the first species nor can we include the human soul in this den velopment process. It is these two false theories of evotytion that the Catholic Church condemns. in the land should strive to put his sentiments into practice. And yet, on the other hand, what a pity it. wouid be, if with our earnest adherence to the teachings of our own creed, we should combine hatred of those pro fessing another creed! This would be a flagrant violation of the law of uni versal love which Christ made the very touchstone of Christianity: "By this shall all men know you are my disciples, if you have love for one an other." Should this hatred flare up into action in politics, it would violate the sixth article of the constitution of the United States: "No religious test shall ever be required as a qualifica tion to any office or public trust under the United States." Should this hatred dominate the halls of legislation, it would make void the first amendment of the constitution: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establish ment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof." And since re ligious liberty is more precious than civil liberty and more conducive even to temporal happiness, hatred of the religion of our fellows at the polls or in legislative halls would be an attack on the very Declaration of Indepen dence which lays down "Liberty and the pursuit of happiness" as among the "inalienable rights" of every man President Harding recently addressing a Bible class in Washington, said: "In the experience of a year in the presi dency there has come to me no other such unwelcome impression as the manifest religious intolerance which exists among many of our citizens, hold it to be a menace to the very liberty we boast and cherish." Refer ring to the members of the "Invisible Empire," one of our papers said last week: "They operate in defiance of the law they give the lie to their own professions of Americanism by violat ing the American principle of religious tolerance, usurping lawful authority and ignoring civilized methods for the administration of justice!" Neither these nor any other sowers of hatred and religious bigotry, can thrive in the free atmosphere of Mon tana. They will die of anemia. Our boys, Protestant and Catholic, fought shoulder to shoulder in the great war, They are going to work together in peace. The problems of reconstruc tion are big enough to occupy our whole attention. We shall leave quar rels and bickerings to our very small groups of ignorant, intolerant, willful men. With us in the cause of civil and religious liberty are enlisted the men and women of superior educa tidn—the students and graduates of our high schools, colleges and univer sities. Aristocrats of the mind, they are also aristocrats of good will, and it is men of good will that create and foster peace on earth. TT!

SCHOLARSHIPS WON That military discipline maKes ex service men better Students than those who did not see service in the war, is demonstrated in the reports re ceived by the Knights of Columbus national education bureau from forty colleges and universities throughout the country, including such institu tions as Yale, Fordham, Notre Dame, Massachusetts Tech. and Georgetown, where K. of C. free scholarships for ex-service men are maintained. More than 400 of the K. of. C. scholarships were won by veterans of all denominations. The reports state that the veterans hav'e maintained an unusually high rating for proficiency in stildies, a higher average, all around, than that of men who did not see. service With the army or navy during the war. This fact is gen erally ascribed to the benefits of mili tary and naval discipline in regulating habits Conducive to serious study. Cardinal Valfre Di Bonzo, Archbish op of Trebistond, .who has been suffer ing from ndrvous prostration for the last three weeks, is in a grave condi tion. During the war the Cardinal, who was serving as Nuncio at Vienna, underwent many hardships, among thein insufficient nourishment, and af ter the war the conditions of existence weje worse. Cardinal Valfre Di Bonzo waft created a Cardinal in 1919.

CZECHS ME Hllil AMERICAN CATHOLIC DELEGA TION GREETED IN LAND OF BIRTH. Tife $fd&red Catholic &d women of the United States, who formed a body to pay an official visit to the country of their birth, have just arrived in Prague, and their com ing has been a triumphant march from the time that they reached the borders of Bohemia up to the time that they landed in Prague, the capital city of the Czecho-Slovak republic. Not only the Catholics of Bohemia, but likewise fairminded men of vari ous political groups, acknowledged the great services that the Bohemian Catholics of the Dnited States have rendered to the cause the indepen dence o'f Bohemia, and especially the greiat material help given to the suf fering millions after the war. For that reason even the government of ficially welcomed these guests from across the sea, and thanked them for the great Services rendered to Bo & IMT, UJQUX THE CATHOLIC BULLETIN, JUNE 24, 1922 IN GEM TOO DISTRACTED COUNTRY OBLIGED TO SUFFER FROM TIRADES OF BIGOTS THEY HAVE THEIR TOM WAT30N8 IN RH IN ELAND. Serious discord has been created among the different religious groups in the area formerly occupied by American troops as a consequence of an anti-Catholic speech delivered by Rev. Dr. Hermann Kremers at a meet ing of the united evangelical unions ot Neuwied. The secular newspapers as well as the Catholic press have deprecated Dr. Kremers* violent utterances, and meetings of protest have been held. Catholic speakers have appeared at public assemblies to refute the charg es leveled at the Catholics by Dr. Kre mers. All the Protestant organiza tions of Neuwied have given their ap proval to the minister's statements. Dr. Kremers declared that Catholics regard the defeat of Germany as a de livery from the Prussian despotism. Pope Benedict, the speaker asserted, was Germany's worst enemy. To this he added tjie charge that "German Catholics were profiteers during the war and winners in the revolution." Rome rejoiced at the downfall of Germany, and received it as a "retri bution for the Reformation," Dr. Kre mers said. "Pius XI is a Welsh Pope," Dr. Kremers told his hearers, and followed, this with a statement that the "Roman Nuncio in Berlin is the symbol of lurking Catholicism." The Nuncio's appearance in Germany was the beginning of the Pope's do minion in Germany, he said. The Ger man Catholics will fall into Papal slavery, and Popery threatens even the Protestants, he continued. "All Germany will be filled with monasteries," declared Dr. Kremers, in a particularly passionate outburst of horror. MOTHER OF PUR DIES AT ITFFS. Catherine Pelletier, mother of Joseph C. Pelletier, supreme advocate of the Knights of Columbus, died in Boston last Monday. A large number of Knights of Columbus, including several supreme officers, attended the funeral. Mrs. Pelletier was the oldest Ameri can" to receive a decoration from the French government, which bestowed on her the Medaille Reconnaissance, the official certificate of which reach ed her only a few davs before her death. MILES ON MS Wilt ATTORNEY CLERGY TRIBUTION—CHANGES QENERAL HOLDS CARE POft DIS IN LAW TO BE ANNOUNCED. V ftew- regulations governing the dis tribution of wine for sacramental pur poses, placing the control and respon sibility for the distribution on official representatives of the churches, will shortly be promulgated by the treas ury department as a result of an opin ion just rendered to Secretary of the Treasury- Mellon by Attorney General Daugherty. Mr. Daugherty's ruling not only sus tains the view of his predecessor, for mer Attorney General Palmer, that liquor dealers may not as such engage in the distribution of sacramental wines, but further holds that dealers in'altar and other ecclesiastical sup plies may not deal in sacramental wines. The attorney general does hold, how ever, that a rabbi, minister or priest appointed by the official head of a dio cese or other ecclesiastical jurisdic tion, has the right, under the prohi bition enforcement act, to "care for the distribution of sacramental wine within the particular territory of the diocese, conference or other ecclesi astical jurisdiction, subject to the regulations and supervision of the commissioner of internal revenue," and that the commissioner may issue to such designated individual a permit for the distribution of sacramental wifee within a specified territory.
