BIBLE SHOULD BE STUDIED AS HISTORY ‘(Continued from page 1) presents the picture of Jesus Christ, conceded by all who have made a study of religion to be the world’s unique and authoritative teacher.” spiritual Jut in the interpretation of the Bible Dr. Willett would have the pres- ent generation use all the scientific knowledge available in appropriating its teachings unto themselves. “The results of modern studies in evolu- | tion, ancient history, the nature and | values of bibical literature, the de- | velopment of educational method and experience and the progress of the social order have set the Bible Christianity in a new and vivid light,” he said, and made clear the relations of morals and religion to all institutional knowledge and inheri- tance. “An intelligent, scientific faith | secks the realities rather than the superficials of religion,” he said. “It Isaves behind many doctrines and in- terests that were once esteemed vital, bit are now seen in their non-esential I'ght. The pa'hway of the years strewn with rejected traditions. The the | past’s incalculable hoard of treasured | is | | twentieth century is wholly impatient | with the confidence of the fourth.” Taking liberalism as an essential | of a vital faith for today Dr. Willett | defined it as in marked contrast to | the type of religious thinkers whose | | chief characteristic is “their seanti- ness and poverty of conviction. ‘“Lib- { eralism,” he said, “means a firm be- [lief in the living God, accepting as vi- | tal the great witnesses of history, the | prophets the saints of all the years, | | the apostles and the Lord, including a in spite of its millenarian vagaries life.” Adding social mindedness as an as- | sential of faith today the speaker said it was the business of Christianity to discover the changes that Jesus would [ desire in and | the social, industrial, eco- ious ‘life of the times and get them accomplished. “It is not the business of the church merely to save men off the wreck of human society, but rath- ler to save the wreck itself.” His final requirements of a modern | faith would be that it dispense with | | vital belief in the centrality and lead- | ership of Jesus, a belief in the church | | B. Youngblood who also have Miss and sectarian divisions, ete, a belief | | in the holy life and a belief in eternal | nomic, educational, political and reliz- | yo— —— | the sectarian spirit in the churches. “Historically there was proper reas- | on for separation of denominations at | the Reformation,” he said, “but that | age has passed away, the dead hand | of ecclesiasticism is relaxed and the | danger today is the loss of energy | and efficiency throught denomination- | al separation and wastage.”.. rete leer VISITORS IN HOMES OF CAMPUS RESIDENTS In addition to the crowds of visi- | tors on the campus for the affairs of commencement who are guests in the Y.M.C.A. and in dormitories set aside for their use are many who are being entertained in the homes of faculty members and officials of the College.
