Lecture by Prof. Rodger in George
Washington University Hall.

Prof. J. @. Rodger OF the University
Union Of California delivered lecture
yesterday afternoon at George Washington
University Hall on the subject Of '6ciencs
and Religion"
In the course Of his address Prof Rodger
recited a number Of incidents Of his per-
sonal experience In this country and abroad,
illustrative Of the position assumed by ag-
nostics-those generally whose disbelief IN
the Christian religion is outspoken. He ar
gued that there is direct connection be-
tween the universally accepted truth, indi-
vidual personality, rational, capable of low
ing, and the ultimate source of all, and con-
cluded by saying:
1--WE find ourselves sometimes perhaps,
amiable, sometimes possibly disagreeable'
We sometimes feel SO annoyed that we are
on the point Of fighting. But betimes every
one of us finds himself capable of loving
some one or something. The stream of life
has risen up to personality, rational, capable
of loving. Not from the biblical, not from
the religious, not from the Christian stand
point but from the purely scientific stand
point, how high must the great ultimate
source of life stand? Can it stand the frac-
ton of an inch lower than personality, ra-
tional, loving?
$50 long as 1 can grasp human hands, so
long as / can hear human voices, SO long
as can look into human eyes, l shall have
scientific data for concluding that the ulti-
mate source of-life from which you and
have come must be at least as high as we
are, personal, rational, loving. So long as
am surrounded by humanity, I shall have
a living revelation, not a book which some
one can call a myth or a legend and throw
aside, but a living record 1t says more
clearly than any words cane express: The
ultimate source from which humanity has
come must stand at least as high as the
highest waters of this great stream of life.
How much. higher the great ultimate
source of life stands, this line of thought
does not tell us. When we begin to study
this book of nature, so-called Alright we
ultimate source. We sail see in geology and
chemistry a revelation of their ultimate
source. Botany and zoology will each be
revelations of the great ultimate source of
double revelation, one in physical life and
the other in the rational and spiritual"
