with lis 1000 students i 4 great source
"i the common life Of the Stale of Mis-
souri and it should be- kept purified with
the cleansing power of religion 1t Is
interesting 10 note that Harvard. the old
81 university in America, was founded
- divinity school
In the middle Of the nineteenth cen
fury came the development of our Stat,
University. Following the Moral land
grant act, a group of state universities
rprang up west of the Allcghanies.
SHIFTED TO THE PRACTICAL
Immediately the shift in education
was from the ideali>iic 10 the practical.
Studies in the Bible. systematic theology 1
and the Ike were excluded by rigid pro !
cess of elimination; the study pi -,llu- /
tion. social. science. sociology and nat /
ural science Cook their place
Il wish To say bold and fair word
concerning the Kind of religion that Will
win lis way in university atmosphere
There is no place in all the world where
the church of Christ needs 30 be more
spiritually gifted and intellectually
adroit than in such a field Sometimes
our universities are accused Of making
iniIdels and atheists Of their studn:s:
sometimes this takes place. The flnli.
however, is not entirely that Of univc:-
si!y professors. A pari of the i.iaIae may
rest upon certain interpreters Of Chris
tianify who present belaied, backward
obscrurantist Interpretation of the Bible,
which cannot be acceptable q al edu-
Gated mind. Too often ministers and 81
BILE school ygcncies teach prrs..irrliiic
view of creation. some untenablc l,ypo-
thesis concerning inspiration, some CEN
iury-old Cal,inisiic theology thai is no
part of Christianity at all.
RELIGIONS BuLLs-EYE
When Sherwood Eddy was at the
nivcrsity Of Missouri las: wear he said
- me that he consider the state uni
,rrsiics the bull's-eyc Of attention FOR
Christian propaganda in lha future In

This word in conclusion: Several
hundred years bcfn:c Christ there was
a period Of aposiasy and moral deca
icncc in Israel bu, :h,rc lived ore Taa
who kept ahrc his raSs:nn for social
This was Elisha. At The
City of Jericho the wat.'r sIpply hid be-
cumc polluted. and they appealed TO him
COR counsel. They had no filtration plants
in those DAYS. but Elisha went out to :
the fountains back of Jerichp and called
for a cruise of salt.
With these imprcssi", words Elisha :
satisfied ihcir needs: L. tue name ot
