because some youths love d^np^B- the cinema; and! other] forms of pleasure, or seem ai little !giddy. that they do not i love their God. From my young experience I know that the majority love, ;enjoy land revere the Sunday School classes, and give heed to the commandment |to keep holy;the Sabbath day. May I point “Admirer of Youth” : to tl^e Lenten text:. “Remember man, that thou, art dust, and unto dust, thou Shalt return,” Also, this war Is to uphold God In the earth, and |;o ensure that Hls creed shall never

RELI|IION AND YOUTH. ' Sir,—There are several Statements


corrected.:: ! , ’ ' j


, 1. He says that! “ Hitler, Musso,, Stalin and Co. all had th fbenefit of a reUgibus; upbringing, and yet, after twd years of Mass Italy was the first ! to use poison gas.” The suggestion Is that; religion must be held responsible for mtjn’s failure to use and (apply it. How absurd! The best-reply to this sort of talk Is that glvejd by. a Hyde Park speaker who was interrupted by| somebody In the crowd. T h e heckler said: “Christianity has been In the world for two thousand years, and look at the state of the world.” The retort was “ Yes.: and water has been In the world for two! mii;ilon years, and look at the state of your .face!” 2. “Admirer of Youth’ next says


.does; not accept that faith. It is nbt science (that,forbids him. Jeand;. Eddington and Einstein substanti­ ate this! truth; In their works. And “Admirer of Youth” might be Inter­ ested to learn that a few years ago, 224 scientists of all branches, many of them in the very front rank, including four Presidents of the ROyal Society, declared their accept-


that science and religion dre in conflict. The fact is, as Professor Bottbmley, F.R.S., said, “ Religion Is tffe crowning-stone of science.” They are mutually compatible. Science to-day lays no stumbling block In the way of religious faith, but rather helps It, If, a scientist


that .youth, i having been, equipped with some knowledge of science. Is, “ expected! by religious bo.dles to accept llterqlly the most Incredible myths.” 'What a lie! The educated youth is no more pltedged, for Instance, to the Interpretation of the early chapters ;of Genesis which formerly obtained, than is the man of science to-day to the Acceptance of the zoology of Agasttz, or the reliability of Huxley’s Bathyblus. Many stories in the Old Testament have been both ridiculed and defended by people wh6 failed to understand! their real purpose. They grew I up at a time when science wasj not known,! and were not Intended to be taken literally. In these things the Bible reflects the ideas of Nature current at tlie time, iand uses the only language that the pe'ople could understand. The Bible Isia revelation |of religion, not a! text-book of science. And “Admirer of Youth” |speaks of “ Incredible j myths!’,’; 'yWi^t Is I a myth? It :1s a prcpsclentlflc answer to a scientific question—a truth embodied In a tale. ’Thb primitive story pf the F.all of Man may beia myth, and.yet it Is much|more than a myth. What can affect the awful penetrating! truth which that story symbolises?; Nothing! I The car- dlnal facts: of human nature-are t!;WY-^-


nf modern Biblical !scholarshlp. Tf he will take the trouble to . digest such!books as “The Mouern Use!bf thb Bible” (Fosdlck, “ The Reason- aWeness of the Christian Faith” (Cjalrns), and “ The Spiritual Inter­ pretation of Nature” (Simpson)*- just !three out. of manyjworks by Christian teachers-^-he will discover that organised religion does present its truth in rational; forms. Let him read! the above-mentioned books rather than take hls cue, as so many do; from some of the cheap editions of the , Rationalist Press, offered to the public under the cute caption, [The Thinker’s Library.” There Is no other faith In the world that!will stand the light of reason or scrutiny as 'the Christian Faith. If .[‘Admirer of Youth” , thinks that It Is: a faith finally discredited in the eyes of men, he Is labouring under a delusion. The findings of mcjdern knowledge leave the funda- mmtal facts of religion' absolutely .untouched.
