Page 49 - The old argument from design in Nature, as given by Paley, which formerly seemed to me so conclusive, fails, now that the law of natural selection has been discovered. We can no longer argue that for instance the beautiful hinge of a bivalve shell must have been made by an intelligent being, like the hinge of a door by man. There seems to be no more design in the variability of organic beings, and in the action of natural selection, than in the course which the wind blows.
Page 49 - Several writers have misapprehended or objected to the term Natural Selection. Some have even imagined that natural selection induces variability, whereas it implies only the preservation of such variations as arise and are beneficial to the being under its conditions of life.
Page 19 - Amen, amen, I say to thee, unless a man be born again of water and the Holy Ghost, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
Page 34 - Tantum ergo sacramentum Veneremur cernui ; Et antiquum documentum Novo cedat ritui ; Prsestet fides supplementum Sensuum defectui. Genitori, Genitoque Laus et jubilatio, Salus, honor, virtus quoque, Sit et benedictio ; Procedenti ab utroque Compar sit laudatio.
Page 51 - The rich must cease to put their faith in material things, and rise to a simpler and saner plane of living; the middle classes and the poor must give up their envy and snobbish imitation of the false and degrading standards of the opulent classes; and all must learn the elementary lesson that the path to achievements worth while leads through the field of hard and honest labor, not of lucky "deals...
Page 26 - Beatus vir, qui inventus est sine macula, et qui post aurum non abiit, nee speravit in pecunia et thesauris." The church immediately demands, " Quis est hie, et laudabimus eum ? Fecit enim mirabilia in vita sua.
Page 46 - We hear about the educational value of the moving pictures. Surely, if this is education it is of an antiquated kind. Every educator now knows that an education in which the child is passive and quiescent is of little value. The child must respond, he must react to his impressions. Flashing before his eyes a lot of scenes is not education, even when the scenes themselves are of a harmless character.
Page 19 - This man came to Jesus by night, and said to him : Rabbi, we know that thou art come a teacher from God; for no man can do these signs which thou dost, unless God be with him.
Page 19 - There was a man of the Pharisees, named Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews. The same came to Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know that thou art a teacher come from God : for no man can do these miracles that thou doest, except God be with him.
Page 20 - Tis not in mortals to command success, But we'll do more, Sempronius; we'll deserve it.
