NEW MODERATOR ' SOUNDS NOTE OF CHURCH BROADNESS ‘No Gain in Shutting Eyes to Facts,' Dr, Wishart Tells Presbyterians, “Either you can shut your eyes to the facts, or you can accept the facts and draw the proper inferences,” asserted Dr. Charles F. Wishart, newly elected moderator of the Presbyterian church in the United States, in an assembly address of the Presbyterian church at Tomlinson Hall Friday night. “I never see any particular gain to shutting our eyes to the facts,” continued the moderator. “When you look at the facts squarely and without blinking, the best and highest inferences you can draw from them, do not weaken, but strengthen the highest ideals of the Christian faith. But remember that the professors you so- bitterly criticise did not invent the facts." The address struck a note of liberalism. Dr. Wishart stressed Christian education of children in homes and schools. “Let me remind you.” he declared, “that every boy or girl worth the salt will go through a period of upheaval when they bump into the great facts of life. The boy will .find himself in his maturity if in his home you have given him the religion that is not a mere statement of dogma, but is the inner life. The home influence, he said, was more important and mqre lasting than anything else. TECH SHOWS HOSPITALITY TO HIGH SCHOOL GUESTS East Side School Host to Athletes at State Track Meet.
