BUILDING OF CATHEDRAL.
No Such Structure Contemplated
Here, Clery Say. =

According to a report from Baltimore
the Roman Catholics of the United States
are planning to build great cathedral
in this city. Investigation of the re-
port, however, fails to reveal any foun-
dalton for II. 3 ,.-.s~.~s-
At the apostolic legation. where knowl-
edge of any national movement in tho
Catholic Church would be possessed,
nothing was known of the rumored project
except that the rumor existed.
1.-The story probably arose from some
chance word Father Stickney, secre-
tary to Monsignor Falconio said to a re-
porter of The Evening Star today I'VE
know nothing here of the reported plan.
and you will observe that Cardinal Glib
bons also declared that he has no ON
cial information of any such scheme"
The cardinals statement in reply to in
quiries is the following:
"It Is hardly likely that the cathedral
in Baltimore will be superseded by any
modern structure than the one now N
existence"

JREST IN RELIGION

remarked: "Popularl What do you
mean3 There is no word that / resent
SO much in this connection. That is
precisely what we are not! Just think
what that expression implies, 1t I'M
plies the delusion. that when trained
theologian addresses laymen on re-
ligious question he has to write down
to the level Of their intelligence. The
truth is the precise opposite There is
at the present time an enlightened tri-
bunal of public opinion in the lay world
which IS fully competent to pass judg-
ment on the treatment Of religious ques-
tions and / can tell you that when
trained theologians appear before that
tribunal they have to be on their best
behavior and do their best work.
The Professional Theologian.
"Do you think that professional theo-
logians are aware of the existence Of
such a tribunal as you speak of ~
"Some are and some are not. Those
who are not-I mean those who treat
theology as an esoteric thing of which
ought to have been born in the dark
ages. Today such men may be treated
as mere trihers. They are fddling while
Rome is on fire. l will give you an in.
stance Of the kind of thing / mean.
Here is man who makes name by
deciphering Hittite inscription. Forth
with some university makes him Il
D. D., and after that he is supposed to
speak ex cathedra on religion, while all
the time the man may have no more idea
of what religion means than a whale.
Yes, this is the spirit which objects to
Mr.. Campbell, that he is not a trained
theologian. A good thing for him if he
is not! The fact is that trained theology
of that sort has very little influence in
the religious life of today 1t is de-
partment Of antiquarian research. It's
place IS the museum, not the church.
1t is about as much use to the men
who are graphing with the awful prob
lens of life as a treatise on the Roman
tribune would be to the captain of a
liner in the height of an Atlantic gale -
'eThese are rather radical opinions to
come out Of Oxford2'
'EThey don It come out of Oxford [

Manc hester college, Oxford; and / don t
ever. All Oxford does for me is to
tolerate me, and L am thankful for that
liberation.
81 suppose there's rather moro of
that sort of thing in England than in
America?'
Perhaps, But 1 don Il know enough
about America to say. At all events,
have been greatly struck with the in
terest shown in the higher ethical and
religious aspect of things by the men
who are responsible for the teaching
In your universities mean, OF course,
men who are not professionally engaged
in the service of religion. I believe this
will have a profound effect on the young
men who pass through these colleges I
may be wrong, but it seems to me that

mental needs Of men as they have been
formed under the social influence on
the movement itself.
g. Is there nothing new in Mr.. Camp
bell's theology2'
"You can put it that way. In
sense there can be no such thing as a
new theology. On the other hand, the
ology always becomes new when people
take a new interest in it, That is pre-
clsely what is happening on both sides
OF the Atlantic. There is wave Of
awakened interest in theology-or rath
er religion-such as L have not seen in
a lifetime.
"That ought to be a good thing for
the churches, ought it not7'
HYes, / suppose 1T will be in the long
run But l doubt if the churches are
leading the movement. In sense they
are being led by it. There is an ele-
ment of moral idealism in society at
large that goes on to results which the
churches have to overtake. The world
of today doesn' It wait for the church
to tell it what it ought to do, but has
its own ideas, or. rather, its own ideals,
about these things. Theology will have
to get into line with ideas about human
life and duty that have gone ahead of
its own teaching, and I imagine it will
become considerably changed in the
process.

"Don't you think the Higher Crit
icism is at the bottom of all these
changes in Christian doctrine9'
''Of course the Higher Criticism has
helped to modify many notions, but it
has not done as much as some people
give 1t credit for. / am quite satisfied
that the main source Of the religious
ferment should be looked for in social
conditions and only in a minor degree
In the work of scholars and critics.
All great religious movements originate
with the people. They are the counter
part of social aspirations. Religion is
like art. You can Z create new move
ment in art by theorlzing on the sub
Ject But when the life of the people
is happy and beautiful, art is sure TO
ward. / believe that the Higher Crit
cism would have little influence if the
social conditions were not favorable to
new development of Christian doc
trine. You may say the same of the
New Theology. But has the HILBERT
Journal anything to do with all this?
Well, the HILBERT Journal is frankly
open TO all that is alive in the religious
world, and therefore can't help having
a great deal to do with it, 1t ism I
our business to start movements of one
kind or another. But we try to reflect
those that signify, and, you know, re-
hecting movement sometimes has an
influence on the movement ITSELF
Professor Jacks said that the Hib.

Of 10000, an unusual success for a new
and serious quarterly and one that in
dicated the wide interest in religious
questions. 1t was suggested that the

Getting at Truth.
Professor Jacks said that what he and
his associates, as editors, were aiming
at is TO arrive at a synthesis. We
bring together representative utterances
from all points of view, and confront
them with one another, Even the most
conservative schools are represented.
What is the good OF that, do you ask
Well, that requires a little thought. II
you put the utterance Of an earnest
thinker in context of divergent points
of view, it wears d different aspect from
what it would if il stood alone or with
others like itself, The presence of diff
ferences alongside Of it modifes its
significance, and it in turn modifes
them, 1t is n matter of inter-relation,
and would require a lecture on psy-
chology to fully explain. But that is
one way Of bringing truth TO light.
Don't ignore differences and don { try
to destroy them, but place them to-
gether, and the truth will declare it
self a true liberal, in my mind, is a
man who is willing that his views
should be Immediately confronted by
the views of those who differ from
him There arc plenty of such liberals
in the world today, If there were not,
the HILBERT Journal would never get
written, to say nothing of its being
read -
F'What about bringing the lay and
tho p1orjcaI world faro n fare 1''
"Our synthesis covers the gap be-
tween the lay and the clerical mind;
and l tell you it is n pretty wide gap,
and one that needs bridging. What is
needed is to convince the professional
teachers Of religion that it is just as
necessary for them to listen 10 laymen,
as il is for laymen TO listen to them.
No, it $ not arrogance on the part of
the clerics; it only blindness, or,
rather, it's mere innocence. But, after
ALL not many clerics nowadays are such
manifest geese as to think that they
hold the lay world IN leading strings.
The younger men are wide awake and
are quite willing to learn, as we'll as to
teach. At all events, that is what we
try to promote in the Hibbert-the mu-
tual interaction of the lay and the pro-
fessional mind. 1t is kind Of parlia-
ment OF religious thinking, conducted
on true democratic lines. The only
types we exclude are the incompetent.
And in point of competence, we recog-
niZe no difference between the student
of the Higher Criticism. We do not
take the deciphering Of Hittite in
scription as sign of competence to deal
with religious questions. a writer for
the HILBERT has TO prove his ability in
other ways. What, for instancel Why,
somebody on this side has used the
phrase 'The humanizing Of theology.
Well. that is one of the marks Of com
petence; but there are many others. Not
long ago we published Catholic de-
tense of eternal punishment. 1t was
not very human, but IL was in deadly
earnest

That is a thing which ought to be taken
seriously by men who study the signs
of the times. The men ut the back of
it are extremely able, and, what is
more, they are resolute. A moral and
intellectual renovation has begun in
tholicism-cspecially in the Latin ma
tions. In some respects it is curiously
like the New Theology, and has its
source in the same conditions. What
