Deal Honestly To Religious Doubters

By LOUIS CA-SSEI.S United Press International If the church wants modern in tellectuals to take religion seriously, it must deal honestly and candidly with their doubts. That is the conviction of Dr. Deane William Ferm, who has had first-hand experience in preaching to an academic community as dean of the chapel at Mount Holyoke College. Dr. Ferm delivered some trenchant comments on the church’s approach to intellectuals at a recent conference of Methodist college chaplains. He said many educated people away from the church because they think it is “too sure of itself...too credulous...too ready with the answers." These people are deeply immersed in an academic tradition which exalts “healthy skepticism" as the mark of a mature mind And they are automatically suspicious of any institution which adoots a posture of "certainty." “Encourage Honest Doubt" To win their respect, Dr. Ferm said, the church must learn to “appreciate and encourage honest doubt." X,., “Let us accept doubt and uncertainty as a mark of integrity," he said. “Let us admit that we do not know all of the answers...

and that we may be wrong.” At the same time, Dr. Ferm said, the church should point out that “every other world view is also fallible" and that "each science has its assumptions, and therefore, its uncertainties.” The choice which an educated person faces is not between accepting Christian authority, or no authority at all. The alternative is the Christian faith or some other interpretation of life which is equally based on faith. In short, Dr. Ferm suggested, the church should invite intellectuals to make a searching appraisal of Christianity—the real thing, not some parody of it which they may have encountered—and *■» compare, it with- all other interpretations of life which are available to men. If this approach wins the church a hearing, he went on, it must not throw away the opportunity by speaking in a strange tongue. Use Wrong Language Church people, he said, sometimes "seem to be more interested in communicating with one another" than in making the Christian message intelligible to those outside the fold. They Insist on using Biblical metaphors and theological terms which, however meaningful to lifelong Christians, "do not strike a responsive chord

Seek Two Missing Airmen After Crash WHITEHORSE, Yukon Territory (UPD—A search team battled zero temperatures and a light snow today hunting for two U.S. airmen who parachuted from a stricken plane carrying 10 reservists. Five men were killed and three others injured when a Cll9 Flying Boxcar smashed into the base of a 5.000-foot mountain 1’ miles from here after a refuedug stop Thursday. Motorists on the Alcan Highway, less than five miles away, said they saw five persons parachute from the struggling plane which burned when it crashed. A civilian pilot in the air at the time also said he saw five parachutes. An Army helicopter and an airrescue team was flown here for the search. The plane was one of two Cll9s on a flight from ELMENDORF Air Force Base, Anchorage, Alaska, to Ellington- Air Force Base at Houston, Tex., after taking part in maneuver King Crab 11. Both planes stopped here for refueling and four men, Lt. Col. S.G. ’ Haynesworth, Capt. K.A. Hynes, Ist Lt. R. Viener and S. Sgt. V.H. Coleman, debarked from the ill-fated planehere. Shortly after takeoff here, the CII9 radioed an tried to return to the airstrip here. . An Air Force ground party reached the crash scene and found the three survivors. Two bodies were found inside the burned plane and three were on the ground. in the minds of most members of the academic community.” Finally, Dr. Ferm said, the church must live down the reputa-r tion it has acquired among intellectuals of being a “Socially conservative” institution which is inclined to “substitute Bible-reading, creed-reciting and hymn-singing for social justice." “This image of the church has done more harm than anything else to the cause of the Christian faith on the college campus,” he said. To offset it, he said, the church must be "deeply sensitive to and involved in” the fight against racial discrimination, and other “great social issues of the day.” "The college campus is the greatest mission field in the world today,” Dr. Ferm concluded.

America's Ice Island Buzzed By Red Plane WASHINGTON (UPD — America’s ice island in the Arctic Ocean, now drifting slowly towards the North Pole, was recently buzzed by a Russian plane, it was learned today. The two-engine transport made one slow loop around the Island and then flew off to the south. The ice island, with a party of 1 15 American scientists, Navy men and Eskimos, is located about 300 miles north of Russia's Wrangel Island and about 1,000 miles south of the North Pole. It is now frozen in for the winter. But if the ice draft follows its normal flow, -the island called Arlis 11, should reach the pole in about a year. One American scientist who recently left the island said the Russians may have thought there was some spying going on, since Wrangell Island is reported to be the scene of Russian military activity. The Navy said the buzzing took placp Sept. 24 but refused to make any comment on the possible reason for it. Arlis II is a massive chunlr of fresh-water glacial ice 80 feet thick. It is 3.5 miles long and 1.5 miles wide and looks deceptively like a land mass because of the piles of rocks and boulders on it. Ice islands are scarce. Only a few of them have been seen during Arctic flights during the 15 years. They are of great value for research stations because of their permanence. Most of the Arctic ice pack breaks up in the warmer season, but an ice island remains intact. The American scientists camped on Arlis II are studying such things as oceanography, underwater acoustics, marine biology and geophysics. They represent numerous universities and government agencies. Fourteen prefabricated buildings have been constructed on the island to house scientific equipment and for living quarters. Government Official Killed By Terrorists ' ALGIERS, Algeria (UPD — Right wing European terrorists fatally shot a government official Thursday night. Police said Henri Perrin, a civil administrator in the government’s department of industry and commerce, was killed by organization (OAD) which opmembers of the secret army poses government plans to give Algeria independence.
