Dr. Henry Sloan Coffin Says Intellectual Level Is “Pathetically Low.” By the Associated Press. NEW YORK, November 6.—The in- tellectual level of the ministry in America is ‘“pathetically low,” Rev. Dr. Henry Sloan Collin said in his inaugural address at Union Theological Seminary, urging estab- lishment of the same scholastic stand- ings in theological schools as in the foremost professional institutions. Recent controversies within the Christian Church, he said, ‘*could hardly have arisen had our pulpits been filled with men abreast of cur- rent thought and seriously teaching their people. “The number of college professors and teachers in the professions who show no interest in the church is an alarming sign of inability of our cler- 2y to grip the minds and stir the imaginations of many of our educated people. A rift between teachers of religion and foremost thinkers along other lines constitutes a grave na- tional peril.” NEW PASTOR TO PREACH FIRST SERMON SUNDAY Rev. Arthur F.

TODAY’S Cai a Heathen BY HUBERT C. HERRING, Noted Liberal Writer, Lecturer, Preacher, ‘Boston. This question raises other ques- tlons. What and where and when is heaven? What is a heathen? There was a time when enthusiasts sketched accurate maps of the world, all blocked out in solid blacks and whites. The white sections were Christian, the black ‘“heath- en.” It was all very simple, and utterly fnane. The world is justifiably weary of the fine distinc- inclined plaud the group of Japanese Bud- dhists who sent a contribution to the Near East Re- llef, with this note, “We send here- with to adopt 1,000 orphans—but don’t call us ‘heathen’ any more.” ‘Who i3 the Christlan? He is the man who belleves in human brother- hood, who flaunts himself in the face of humanity and disregards all ap- peals for justice. By this test there are plenty of heathen Christians, plefity of Chris- tian “‘heathen, The customary la- bels are futile. It is not the names men take upon their lips which make them or mar them. It is not the :“reeds they repeat. It is the life they ve. And heaven? What and where is heaven? It Is here, if we will it. It is now, if we would have it so. Is it a place in the hereafter? One man’s guess is as good as another’s. The believers in Jesus Christ, believers in His great gospel of a Good God and the eternal value and meaning of hu- man beings, dare to belleve that life goes on, in infinite and radiant mean- ing. This faith has been the control- ling power of millions. As a project of faith it is tremendous in its dar- ing and reach. As an object for exact deflnition and meticulous analysis it is barren. = Can the heathen go to heaven? No, neither here nor hereafter. The heathenism which leads him to ride roughshod over others’ rights will shut the doors of heaven in his face, no matter whether he repeats the Apostle’s Creed or the Maxims of Confucius. Heathen do not belong in heaven, no matter whether they be Protestants or Catholics or Jews or Mohammedans or Buddhists. But the teachings of Jesus, do they not fit men to enter heaven? Yes, for in the gospel of Jesus is the secret of brotherhood, a brotherhood rooted and grounded in the faith that there {s one God, a God of love, a God who has made of one blood every nation of men, a God who values all men and women for what they are.

D, Pastor Calvary Bantist Church, New York: President Fundamentalist League. ‘Text: “Neither is there salvation in any other; for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.’—Acts, iv.12.) ‘We can only en- ter into savation and reach heaven through Jesus Christ. The inex- orable logic of sal- vation through Christ and Him alone is set forth explicitly in Scrip- ture. Thus it is written: For whosoever shall call upon tha name of the Lord shall be - saved. How then shall they call on ‘Him Ihn whurr;) they ave not believed? D STRATON: And how shall in whom they have not heard? And how shall they hear without a preacher? And how shall they preach except they be sent? ‘as it is written, How beautiful are the feet of them that preach the gospel of peace, and bring glad tidings of good things! But they have not all obeyed the gospel. For Esalas saith, Lord, who hath belleved our report? So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God.”—Rom., x.13-17.) God judges all men according to their lights, and the Bible makes clear that there are both degrees of bles: edness in heaven, and degrees of pun- ishment in hell. We do not know how God will deal with the righteous hea- then, except that He will deal with him in mercy, justice and love. But ignorance of a great good does not make possible the enjoyment of such good by these who are ignorant of it. A man caught on top of a burning building, without knowing where the stairway or the elevator is, will cer- tainly lose his life because of his ig- norance. But if there is one in the building who knows the way out and does not warn and lead the one on the top of the building who is ignorant, he is guilty before God and man for his neglect. One of the greatest incen- tives to soul winning and missionary zeal is the tremendous truth that Jesus Christ is the oply way of salvation for a lost and sin-cursed race. The surest . to kill soul-winning zeal and missionary enthusiasm is to spread the idea that heathen religions at last are almost as good as Chris- tianity, and, therefore, that what we need to do is to help the backward peoples of the earth with *“social serv- ice.” The death of Jesus Christ on the cross was at once the measure of the awfulness of human sin and a demonstration of the supreme svalue of everlasting life.
