PASTORS PROTEST
SCIENTISTS GOD"
Prof. Barnes Plea for Revi-
sion of Religion Draws
CIergy's Fire.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, December 31.-New
York pastors of vafious denominations,
with one exception, raised a chorus of
protest from their pulpits yesterday
against the statement of Prof. Harry
Emerson Barnes of Smith College that
modern science demands a revision of
religion and a new concept Of God.
The one pastor who agreed with Prof.
Barnes was John Haynes Holmes of the
Community Church, who said: I'VE
should have religion to fit our times"
Scientists Hear Plea.
Prof Barnes made his plea for a new
religious foundation in an address be-
fore sectional meeting of the Ameri-
can Association for the Advancement of
Science, which is in session here.
I'VE must cease talking of God" he
said. I'VE must supplant theology by
mental hygiene. Science has shown it
to be difficult to prove the very exist
ence of God"
Cardinal Hayes, from the pulpit of
st. Patrick's Cathedral, said: "It is the
| fashion of the day to see conflict and
| contradiction between religion and sci
ence," but that true religion reveres
true science, rejoicing in its unfolding
of the beauties of nature, because it
makes manifest the omnipotent intelli-
gence Of God"
Outrageous Shock"
Cardinal Hayes, in answering Dr.
| Barnes, declared: 1T is an outrageous
| shock TO read in the newspapers that
a scientist in this city said that our
| God is a myth.
True religion enables us to advance
| from the visible to the invisible, from
the finite to the infinite. Is not this
also the aim of science?
Another error common today Is that
| the Catholic Church is the enemy of
| science. One thing the Catholic Church
| fears least, as made clear by Plus XII to
aneminept historian, is truth, whether
| historical, scientific or economic. The
church throughout its history has al
ways patronized the search for truth.
THE Popes always have selected as
papal physicians the most prominent
men in scientific medicine. The Jesuits
have made the greatest contributions to
astronomy, ethnology and SeiSmology."
Cardinal Hayes named great scien-
lists of the Catholic church including
"Albertus Magnus, father of botany;
Copernicus, father of modern astron-
omy; Mendel, the greatest man in
modern biology"
The Rev. Christian F. Resiner, Metlo-
dist, charged Prof Barnes with being
unfair because he Is not familiar with
modern theology. AS well might I un-
dertake to criticize science as for him to
criticize theology" he continued, with
the evident ignorance in that field
which he displays"
Fosdick Blames Littleness.
The Rev. DR.. Harry Emerson Fosdick,
Baptist, said: "It is the little minds in
both camps who cause the most trouble.
The foremost religious minds are be-
coming more scientific and the fore
most scientific minds are becoming
more religious"
The Rev. Dr. Henry Darlington,
Episcopal, said: Science and religion
are not at war, as the ill-informed
think. but are co-operators for the gen.
eral good of mankind. Science builds
the machinery. Religion decides how
it shall be used"

Harvard Anthropologists Taking
 Up Matter Scientifically

Cambridge, Mass, March ol.-tP' An anthropological investigation of criminality in the United States is i being conducted by the department of anthropology at Harvard univer- sity in collaboration with the di,i- sion ot the examination of prisoners of the Massachusetts state depart ment of mental diseases. Observations and measurements of more than 12,0O0 criminals in eight states have already been obtained Directors Of the study hold out no promises of solution of the "crime question" but are confident that they can acquire information of practical value in further studies of this problem.
 The research Is under the direc- tion Of Prof. l.. A. Hooton Of liar yard and Dr. Winifred Overholser, director of the division of the ex- animation of prisoners. Its objects are:
 To learn whether criminals as cAP o1IA be Alds'CSC n4S o!GtAi4- guished from the law-abiding popu- lation by the presence of any heredi- tarv physical defects or by any bodily anomalies which are due to disease or malnutritlon; to ascertain whether there is any relation be- tween the physical characters of of fenders and their mental traits: to discover any connection between the nature Of the criminals offense and his mentality: to examine the various races and nationalities represented in the criminal population in this country in order to find out, if pos sible, why some foreign born ele- ments contribute an unduly large quota to penal institutions, whereas others are more law-abiding than the native-born population.
 These studies says Dr. Hooton, represent no effort 10 establish physical types of criminals nor to srigmatize as undesirable the peo- ples of any particular race or na- tionality within the confines of the country They merely constitute a cooperative attempt to investigate simultaneously the physical. mental and sociological aspects of criminal ity and to discover in what way, If at all. these various aspects are inter- related"
