EQUALITY
Sir,- Your correspondent G.H.D. makes some comments on the published version of a talk which I gave from 3YA. This wa. a condensation of the first of a series of four, The series was planned, as I explained, to lead up to the final talk in which I did just what your correspondent has done (though not altogether in the same terms) namely, interpret Jefferson’s statement and‘ discuss the various meanings of the word equality. G.H.D. did not apparently hear any of the talks.

atheistic evolution" (that is, the biological theory of evolution with a bias towards the philosophical theory of atheism) and not "the atheistic theory of evolution." But I now take up my pen to save my cause from a would-be defender. Mr. Hulbert claims by implication a monopoly when he assumes the name of "rationalist"; and. your correspondent "Student" abandons the field of reason to him. I am one of the many wha hold the traditional position, which achieves complete harmony between faith and reason, showing how reason precedes, accompanies, and follows the act of faith. Such a Christian claims to be as reasonable as any other rationalist. I shall not enlarge in your columns on this theme, which is dealt with in numerous works of Apologetics; but I must emphatically pay a believer’s tribute to reason, the God-given light to our stumbling feet.
