burn school of religion this morning in
a talk to the students in chapel. He
referred to the way in which some
people wish to warp their lives so that
they may be in accordance with the
Bible. One need not feel that there
Is no believing in modern science and
the Bible at the same time. The
Bibles real value is as a record of
human experience, and as the record
of evolution of humanity. We should
keep the truth of holy writ, without
being silly or superstitious about it, |
he said.
