RELIGION.

TO THE EDITOR.

Sir,—Mr Walmsley is unable to tell whether “ E.W.F.” aims at the churches as human and faulty or at an attack on. tho Gospel message. My attack is against both the message and its human interpretation or interpretators. I am in no wise concerned with the bulk of the letter by Mr Walmsley, since J. am concerned only with straightforward. conci/ete facts and statements, and sucli are conspicuous in it by their absence. Toward the end, however, your correspondent dods make a slip or two in approaching something like definiteness and clarity. He says Sir William Dawson showed that Genesis proved Darwin wrong in regard to evolution. What a pity that this geologist cannot bo loft peacefully dead when there are thousands of modern and capable ones to band to quote from—if any could bo found to discredit or attack the theory of evolution itself. The fact that anti-evolution has to quote and requote without end such as Sir W. Dawson shows how weak is its case. I would much like to know the details of “ recent inquiry among eminent men ,of science ” who give an overwhelming verdict against free thought.—l am, etc., E.W.F. February 26. [This letter lias been reduced, and the correspondence is now closed. —Ed. E.S.]
