SON OF THE SUN churches. They shall be Churches of Learning, replacing the cold and equally empty schools of learning. Everything must change, Adam. Everything must give way to discovered truths.” “Then,” Adam rejoined, “is the religious structure bereft of truths, and has science so far exceeded it that there is no hope for a aa 1 nn rr a» the present theological institutions?” “No, indeed, Adam. Quite the contrary. Not long ago the materialists rushed to Darwin’s works, hoping to upset all that religion stood for and they found not one iota of support for their dead reasonings. They received a death-blow with finality. A few ignorant ones still seek for some sign that man evolved slowly from the amoeba.

Are not the three of these working side by side equivalent to your monolithic structure, whereby you have merged all into one magnificent enterprise?” Adam asked. “With people of high culture and intelligence it should work out well,” replied Saturn. “But even they would soon 162
