(Received May 27, at 11.5 p.m.) A group of 40 distinguished American scientists and clergymen has published a statement holding that there is no antagonism between science and religion, a subject which during the past year has aroused bitter and widespread controversy largely on the question of Evolution. Two Cabinet officers, Mr H. C. Hoover and Mr J. J. Davis, are among those who have signed a statement which points out that the beliefs that religion to-day stands for medieval theology and that science is materialistic irreverence are false. The statement is a direct answer to the antievolutionists in that It points out that science gives a sublime conception of God, revealing Him through countless ages developing earth as an abode for man.' —A. and N.Z.
