Thousands also ave faling away from the fundamental vulues of re- ligion—respect for truth and respect for justice. This lost respeci of re- ligiows values [s the cause of niuch of the present distress in th> world.” Dr. Grifiin said persons who have vevolted from the old faiths might be brought back to a sense of religious values through Unitarianism. but he wained that éven the liberal churchas, in order in fake advantaze of this opportunity, must broaden their lih eralism so as to attract people on other than theological grounds. “Our Unitarian people are prosper ous,” he sad. “Frosperity tends to make us conservative.

Great numbers of those now being graduated from American colleges are outside the pale of the church, feeling that reli- gion can have no place in modern life. Between these two extremes is &till another zroup. probably the largest. which feels the foundations of faith slipping away under the im- pact of historical criticiem “The situation presents an unpar alleled opportunity for the liberal ehurches of America.

Gardner of Providence, president of the Laymen's Leagu “we can adopt no half-way measures in dealing with that type of ro-called religlous fundamentalist who seeks to reb the children of our-public schools of scientific knowledge. The idea that sur voung people should be deprived of the henefits of scientific investiga- tien and that teachers in our State. supported institutions should be hampered in their taching arouses the fighting spirit of every liberal-minded citizen. ‘We are confronted by organizatfons that, seeking by legislation to exclude the teaching of sclentific data from our public schools, call themselves Christian, while reeking with the véritable spirit of legalism which Christ =0 condemnied in the Pharitees of His day. These organizations are trying to instill into American life a principle which perverts the very foundation of American law and lib. erty.
