Protestanism to Judaism, met bym Plerce accused Catholicism of in- wlenn:e which, he said, came from the logical following out of the idea l that it was the only true church. When gn'ope wh-rn converts are coming partly because of fear of the rising tide of radicalism and partly because recent. researches have thrown so much new and favorable light on the historical position and accomplishment of the church. “Agnosticism,” he said, “only tears down. What can it substitute for what it takes away? “There must be,” he continued, “mil- lions of Protestant saints in Heaven. I have always been taught to believe it. Mr. Darrow says we are machines.

He was to accept Christ, he said, as one of prophets and to in- creed anything Christ have said, although he would reject some of the apocryphal matter that has grown up about the story. But he saw no valid reason, he insisted, for accepting him as the Mes- siah. There were about 20 Messiahs crucified about the same time as Jesus, | he said. Not Afraid of Science. As glories of Judaism he pointed to the early Jewish experiments in educa- tion in the early years of the Christian era and to the Jewish-Moorish renals- sance In Spain which reached its apex 200 years before the Christian renais- you ever go through an insane asylum? | sance. If s0 you have seen men and women who thought they were great historic persont J:;. or animals. But they never were to show you a man 80 cra: that he actually thought he was a ma- hine. The American Government, he said, is essentially a derivation from Cath- olicism, which kept alive the idea of democracy through the ages. Jeffer- son's library, now at the Library of Congress, he said, shows clearly that the ideas and some of the words of the Declaration of Independence were taken bodily from two standard Catholic books, that of Oardinal Bellarmine and of the Spanish Jesuit, Saurez, Cites Conversions. He pointed to the conversion of such men as the English sclentist, Sir Ber- tram Windle, who recently came into the church because he was convinced that the Catholic fold had done the most and provided the best atmosphere for the fostering of scientific research. | He also cited the conversion of the Nor- wegian novelist, Sigrid Undset, declar- ing that Mrs. Undset's historical studies into the culture of the so-called Dark Ages had révealed to her such a high state of culture that in revolt against the myth of history she has turned to the church. Dr. Simon in turn discldimed belief in the miracles of the Old Testament, although defending them for their beauty as symbols. But Judaism, he sald, had provided the fundamental ideas of monothelsm and a God of jus- tice, love and mercy which formed for him a satisfactory religion. He traced the Jewish religious idea from its in- ception by Abraham, who “swept the skies clean of tribal gods,” to the great Vacuum Cleaners M Bulbs Flashlights Electric Percolators Electrie | Electric Toasters “My religion is not afraid of science,” |, Dr. 8imon declared. It does not even shrink, he insisted, from the latest speculations of men like Eddington, Einstein and Jeans, which tend to de- stroy the validity of the old physical concepts of matter and energy, and hence of the reality of the sensory| world. “But,” he said, “sclence is a two- bladed sword. With one biade it carves out new truths. With the other blade it is likely to carve the heart out of man. We may sometimes wonder if science is with us or against us.” In so far, he said, as science is find- ing new ways to relieve suffering and new richness in life it is working hand in hand with religion. But he also pointed to the horrible instruments of war which science is said to be perfect- ing for the next world cataclysm, which may wipe out the race altogether. Senator Simeon Fess of Ohio pre- sided at the symposium, I'h\ch he desc:ibed as an effort toward “the dis- armament of religious prejudice through understanding.” HAWAII FLOOD REBEDES HONOLULU November 19 (#).— Danger from the flooded Kahili, which yesterday drowned two persons and several cars of livestock and stalled sev- eral hundred lutomnbfles ul navy yard vorkmen.
