‘God Help Human Race/ Says Pastor on Modern Ideals NEW YORK, June 21—“ God help the human race if the sort of science that we saw exemplified and glorified in the World War, Is to be looked up to as producing the modern ideals of the coming generation,” said Dr. John R. Straton, pastor of Calvary Baptist Church today, with regard to the assertion of William Morris Davis at Harvard commencement, that morals really belong more to the field of science than to the field of religion. “Professor Davis’ whole argument seems to have been found upon a series of false assumptions. For one thing, he assumes .that scieuce has brought great benefit to the world, but says nothing about the far greater benefit that religion has brought. “Another argument of Professor Davis is that religion, a* he puts It, has ‘trespassed upon the proper field of science' because religious leaders have preferred to hold on to God's revelation rather than to bow to human speculation. I will only say that, whereas there 1* scarcely a scientific textbook now ten years old that is not out of date, the Bible, after all these thousands of years is still doing business at the old stand. 'The facts of revelation, verified by individual Christian experience—as, for example, tny own conversion, from a life of sin to a life of service—are facts far more real than the alleged “facts” which bolster up some of the scientific hypothesis of today as for example, the little basket full of mouldy bones, which had been dug up haphazard from different parts of the earth and are paraded before us with their grinning grewsomeness as “proofs” of the cheering supposition that we are descendants of monkeys, rather than children of Almighty God. “1 therefore, dismiss with a considerable degree of amusement, the manifestly absurd statement of Professor Davis that morals belong to the realm of science rather than the realm of religion.”

LA FAYETTE NEW PLAN APPROVED Plans for the re-capitallzatlon of the LaFayette Motors Company of Indianapolis, which brings $2,000,000 additional funds to the company submitted on May 29, have been approved by stockholders at a special meeting at the Hotel Belmont, New York City, according to word received by officials here today.
