[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] Sin,—It is an interesting
coincidence that Professor Robert- son's article on " The Idea of God " should appear in the same number of the Spectator as Professor Elliot Smith's criticism of Sir Arthur Keith's address to the Aberdeen students. Sir Arthur Keith propounds the views of an evolutionist who imagines a world without God, a world in which " the survival of the fittest," " the struggle for existence," " nature red in tooth and claw," form an excuse for war if not an incitement to the strong to attack the weak.
Professor Robertson's article, on the other hand, pictures a world in which evolution under the guiding and directing hand of God leads from the Mosaic conception " God is life " to the New Testament " God is love." " Be ye perfect even as your Father in heaven is perfect." Comment is
