y, what guarantee is there
that it is right in morals?

If the Bible is not a reliable guide in facts, how do we know
that it is a trustworthy guide in doctrine?

However he may have arrived at his conclusions, it is extremely
significant, in the light of these questions, that Dr. E. D. Burton, being
willing to admit that the Bible is

not infallible in history or in matters of science,

has also concluded that it is

not wholly consistent and therefore not ultimately and as a
whole inerrant in the field of morals and religion.

What reason more can the Church want to justify her for intolerance of a
theory that will do this to a man's faith? Is it not correct reasoning to
conclude that if one man suffers such a collapse of faith after accepting
evolution, others are likely to suffer the same thing? And when the Church
observes this collapse taking place in every quarter, and then discovers
that back of it lies the theory of evolution, is she not justified for
being intolerant of that thing which is gnawing at the vitals of her faith?
What can she say else than that the teachers of evolution, at least in the
Christian schools, must either give up evolution and come back to faith in
an infallible Bible, or part company with the Church?

It may be that one reason why the evolutionists are so loth to get out of
company they do not belong in is because they fear that thereby they may
lose their coveted reputation for scholarship. Prof. Howard W. Kellogg,
formerly of Occidental College, hints as much when he says:

Science has again and again set aside as untrustworthy the
so-called discoveries of evolution, has compelled the great
German evolutionist, Haeckel, to confess that his drawings of
missing links were from imagination rather than from objects
found, has driven him from his university chair, and has
compelled him to admit that "Most modern investigators of
science have come to the conclusion that the doctrine of
evolution, and particularly of Darwinism, is in error and
cannot be maintained,"--and yet in spite of such admissions
from men recognized as authorities in their respective lines,
the doctrine of evolution appears to rule as absolutely in
the educational world as if it were not a moribund
hypothesis, already discarded by many, and to be discarded by
others when scientific evidence rather than reputation for
scholars
