...about ten. It is true that the utmost freedom is allowed, the young men can come and go as they please, they are subject to no espionage. But an examination which requires from 8 A. M. to 11 P. M. for completion with diligent labor, is clearly absurd. The general agreement of professors and students leaves no room for question of the truth of these statements...

They would ask me which to give up, science or the Bible. There is a general progression in nature. The theory that the world was once a vapor from which the earth evolved is not consistent with the scriptures, for they speak of its being 'void without form.' The natural struggles for existence lead to the survival of the fittest, a most benevolent law, and also in accordance...
