HEADS AT CHURCH PARLEY Dr. L. C. Clark and Dr. F. W. Col- lier Attend Methodist Confer- ence in Springfield. Dr. Lucius C. Clark, chancellor of American University, is attending the General Conference of the Methodist denomination at Springfleld, Mass, and Dr. Frank W. Collier, director of re- search at the university, will also go to Springfield this week. Dr. Collier has prepared a booklet for the conference in which he quotes John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, to show that Wesley was one of the foremost scien- tists of his day, and that he was in no sense committed to the idea of an- tagonism between the church and science Wesley, Dr. Collier found, although very few persons, he says, are aware of it today, was the author of a two- volume work entitled “A Surves Wisdom of God in the Creat ) Compendium of Natural Philosophy.” in which he incorporated an abridgment of “The Contemplation of Natu by who coined the work “evolu- tion.” Natural philosophy was the term used in Wesley's day for what we now know as physical science, it is explained Held Theory of Evolution. Dr. Collier makes it clear that Wesley made a sharp distinction between the fields of philosophy and science, he adds, thus anticipating the position held by the most lucid thinkers of modern times. Dr. Collier also asserts that Wes- ley was obsessed with the idea of evo- lution, as a gradual progression. In his study Dr. Collier quotes not only from Wesley’s “Natural Philosophy, but from his notes on the Old and New Testaments, Some of the quotations on the “gradual progression of beings” and the “beautiful graduation” in nature, Dr. Collier holds, are amazing for an eight- centh century churchman. Wesley’s influence, too, was strongly against denominational narrowness and sectarianism, Dr. Collier amplifies. Wes- ley himself referred to the societs he founded in the following words: “T do not know of any religious society, either incient or modern, wherein such liberty of conscience has been allowed since the age of the apostles.” Three new instructors are to join the faculty at American University ‘shortly. Dr. John Edward Bentley begins work With the beginning of the next academic year, on_October 1, as director of the school of religious education, in which full three-year course will be pro- Vided. A program of fundamental sub- Jefits will be given. For the last three years he has been professor of religious education at_the Tiff School of Theology. Ha is of Eng- lish birth, but a naturalized American ; a graduate of McGill and a graduate Student at Clark, Harvard and Boston universities.
