D. Williams began In ear nest last night his dascrlptlon of "The Making of Man" at the aeries meetings at the Unitarian church. Illustrating his polnta oy mean of a blackboard, he kept the undivided attention of his audience for nearly hour. Beginning with the life of primitive man, he showed that formative technique waa the basis of modern science. The origin of the real problem of aclence and philosophy, he said, was the chao of the world.

He con-! tlnued: James described the child's world a "big, buzzing, blooming confusion, and the beginnings of thought took us to the Infancy of the rae when man could not organize or dis cover any meaning or sense In this confusion. The problem of science was1 shown to be the problem of reading order and meaning Into the world of sense. It was also shown why primitive man, as well, as many modern mn, peopled the world with supernatural persons ana beings. This difficulty Is revealed In the fact that even today mpti think of virtue, temneranre. luftlce.

law, war, United Ptates. England, and all1 of our fundamental social concepts. In pictures. We think of war as a big giant, of the United States as Uncle Pam, of Justice as a maiden with bllndfoldpd eyes. i The needs of men today are largely the same as those of primitive to-wlt: fnrseelng the future, expell-, Ing Flckness, detecting the evil doer.

mttintr the enemy, enlivening nature, trnnf orming youth into manhood. These are the fundamental neds cf human nature and out of thei develop all of our mora snd religious values. Religious life, therefore, has1 Its origin not in the life of some absolute or some pupematiirnl be-i but In the actual empirical pro-, cess of dally life. Service This Evening. Prof.

IC Byrns, pastor of First M. K. church, preached the funeral sermon and paid eloquent tribute to the life of Judge Myers. A prayer wa. made by nr.

Theodore Kemp, president of Illinois Wesleyan University. In his sermon Rev.

"Judge Colostin D. Myers was a man who, tho plain and unassuming, lived rather a ttri-ntious and rugged life, coming no from comparative ob scurity to the positions of honorable leadership and responsibility by faithful and Lerslstent effort.

"i me of tho marked characteristics his life was the appreciation had of the many opportunities which came to him and he accounted them real honors and blessings. This ap preciation often caused him to say, While 1 was not born with a for tune. I was born mean ing that he was fortunate in the com- anionshln which he bad witn tne one who shared both his iovs and sor- ows and made for him that dearest haven of rest and comfort his home, 'ortunate In the opportunities whlcn were given him In his profession by which was enabled to serve In an effective and useful way his day and Generation, and fortunate in the hon ors which were conferred upon him lie was a man who had the cour age of his convictions and dared to follow his? own Judgment hen It had once been fully made and he had no hesitancy In assuming full responsi bllity for his every act. To him honesty' was not a policy, merely but an unchanging habit of hi? life, both In dealing With himself and with others He was simple ana unostentatious, straightforward In manner, present ing no shams or counterfeits, lie ien nothing to be covered up or explained. Judge Myers was a inin pun and altho he was but 14 years of age nt the outbreak of the civil war, he found a place as a true ann loyai soldier, and altho he was- near 70 when the United States entered the world war, he found a most signm-cant place of service and devoted himself so loyally and unsparingly to It that many of his nearest menus feel that thereby he hastened his going.

Whether thl be time or not. It can be said by all who saw the earnest and sincere way in which he performed the arduous duties devolving o- him In the responsible pnst-tlons which he held, that no soldier who fought on Flanders field was more deserving of his country's ap preciation than was ne.
