A MEMORIAL carved in enduring wood placed in the living house of worship is a most fitting trib ute to a deceased relative or friend. It is an eloquent expression on our part that here was one whose memory and influence we would not willingly let die. Our Wood Carving Studios are devoted to the planning and creation of church fitments and church furniture. We are especially equipped to suggest and to carry out ideas suitable for memorials. Correspondence is invited, and illustrated literature will be sent upon request. ECCLESIASTICAL DEPARTMENT American Seating Company NEW YORK 119 W. 40th Street CHICAGO PHILADELPHIA 250 S.

Unfortunately, in the discussion extending over many years, Darwin's scientific findings and his statements regarding evolution have been obscured and distorted so that to-day few people know what Darwin really believed and asserted. James Harvey Robinson sets forth the truth about the great scientist in a way to clear the air befogged by prejudice and misunderstanding.

He illus trates this theory with numerous amusing selections.
