NO liVFECTIOUS DISEASE IN )VEST VANCOUVER The hledical Health Officer announces that )Vest Vancouver is practically free of all disease of an infectious nature. We are to be congratulated upon the fact that at the present time there is not a single case of any kind of infectious disease in the mun- icipality. )Ve should feel thank- ful for this, especially so when so many districts are called upon to handle cases of infantile par- alysis, which has been prevalent in a number of places in the country.

EYOI.UTIOiV The E&litor )Vest Van &Vews Dear Sir:-- Your correspnmlent, Mnry ('ornish places herself ln a very weak position whqn she attempts to pit religion agnlnst science. Religion ns &le)inc&i by most preachers, is believing in the un- seen. Science, )s tnbulate&l knowle&lge; an&i knowledge is thnt which is gaine&l by experi- ~ ence, observation nn&l experi- ment. Science exp)nina an&i what it &loss not understnnd it persistently investigntes until it does, but religion merely nsks you to believe, or in other words have faith. Darwin &lid not in- vent evolution: it is n nntural law thnt he investigated nn&i to the unbinse&l can be seen in oper- ation all aroun&l us. It is the law of change. There ls nothing constant, but chnnge. An&i this law applies to religion as well as everything else. iVow about the story of the creation. Scientists have proved that matter is in&lestructible; in other words it has no end. Then how could it have a beginning? It abvays was; if we assume a creator we are up against thu query of who created the cre- ator? An abusr&lity! That the universe is run to schedule is ob- vious to all but when we come to describe the &lirector as n being in the shape of a man it must be taken on faith and no questions. )Vhich is certainly not the meth-, od of studious people in this age. We all wish to a&Tive at the truth and perhaps what we nee&l most to help us is more of spirit of tolerance in our &)isc()s- sions. Yours, etc. T.

The second yoat of the war saw &bou&aud& lose bent& in a r(gh&U- ouo government Uf the worl&I, whose faith would have stood up aga)uot any ordinary test. h)auy of &bcm do uot seem &o have rccavcrod their faith even yct. That lo&s of faith is largely rcopouoib)U for the return tu the old idea Uf au )mm(neat Second Coming. It may be worth while tu remember that we ato UH mod&ra(ot& &o a great- && extent than lvo tcafl&U. The brunt of the attack Uu modernism is bc)ug borne by evolution; but evolution )U by uo means the biggc&t part of mod- otuiom. No change in mou'U attitude towards religion will be brought a- bout by evolution lvh)ch will begin to compare with the chaugu which was wrought two centuries agu by the a&- cap&ant& of the idea that the earth went round the suu. Anyone who cares to make a study Uf coutruvcro)a) literature in the 17th century will find in it an overwhelming array Uf argu- ments based ou the Bible, a)) going &o show &hat the new views Uf the earth would undermine religion. Voflva today dcaouuco& the fouuda- mcu&UH&to as worse traitors tu the Bible than any modern)&t, because they uo longer believe in a flat aud &tat(Unary earth. But where is the fuudamon&auot who will lose any sleep over the fact that VUI(va has the )ot- tor of Scripture behind him? It is 'quite a common thing for va- homout couttovoro)aflot& to represent the acceptance Uf evolution as the de- liberate rejection of a divinely in&pl&- cd rove)at)on. Speaking from some knowledge Uf men who have accoptod evolution, I know that it did not Dr&- sent itself in that light to most of them. It presented itself as a choice between a Gud Uf caprice whu made random incur&iou& into the world of life, aud a God who bad impressed upon the world of life the orderly tendencies aud far-roaching unity which ato shown Uo clearly in the world of math&mat)cs aud mech&a(co. They felt that such a God might be trusted to bavo the needs of the be- w()doting)y complex moral world in mind. Io &hat au irreligious idea? It does uot solve the mystery of the ox- (&&caco of pain aud evil; bu& it helps towards a patient acceptance Uf them, aud does uot impede the action Uf the moto personal elements of religious faith. I am uot among those who UUU uo difficulty in reconciling religion aad science. But If I have learned nothing else. I have at least learned &o wait. I often think Uf Prof&&&or Henry Drummond, wbo attempted to recon cfla the two in hi& "Natural Law in the Spiritual World." In the ordinary sense the book faued of (&& purpose. But it wao full of an eager belief in a God of truth which ho maw&god &o impart &U even critical readers. HU bao Ia(u in his grave for thirty your&; bu& there are many &nfl living who look back to him, not &o much as the defender of evolution, but as one of the &iuoot examples of a Cht(&t)an gentleman which b)& ago produced. There (o ao be«ct commentary oa hi& life than that Uf an old Hobtow ptuph- et:--'Wvba& doth the Lord require of thee, bu«o do Justly, and to love mercy, and &o walk humbly with thy God?" Such a lite wao worth more &hah any "reconciliation" bo cuubl effect. The one thing wb)ch seems to ma Uf )mput&auca in Coaucc&)ou with the present can&tave&&y over m&x)ctn)&m is (&& reaction Un young mcn.

I'ROPOSES BAND FOR )VEST VANCOUVFR Dear Sir:-- I hate been consldenng wilt mg to your paper fo) some t&me concerning a subject which I think would be of interest to a great number if not all of the )Vest Vancouverites. Now that the winter season is with us do you not think it pos- sible to arouse some of the mus- ical talent that we have here, sufficiently to commence upon the organization of a band? I have been toll) upon goo&i authority that IVest Van. has its share of good musicians. VVhy should the gift of music be con- fined only to the home or a (very occasional) concert? I am also told that at least two band con- ductors have taken up residence here. )Voul&l they not be inter- ested in this plan? It struck me as being very odd that at the time of the Diamond Jubilee and other celebrations that we had to send to Vancou- ver for our music. Why not b" able to call upon our own hami on such occasionsv In closing, I also wish to men- tion the remunerative value that would ensue from week-end con- certs held at Ilorseshoe Bay etc &vhich would) certainly go a long way in buying uniforms and put- ting the organization on a soun&) basis. I hope to hear from other bandsmen an&i music love)'0, through your valuable column, their views upon this subject. Let's have a "get-together" on it at least. IIAROLD A. DOWNEY.
