The United States of America, be
ing a wide and broad country in
which the winds have plenty of room
to get up steam, pays an extremely
high price for such meterorological
disturbances as windstorms and tor
nadoes. According to figures compiled by
the Travelers Insurance Co. of Hart
ford. Conn., tornadoes and wind
storms in this country took nearly
2000 lives and caused property dam
age of approximately $50,000,000 in
1928.
Oddly enough, the worst damage
was done by disturbances that are
classed as high winds instead of tor
nadoes. Windstorms took 18C0 lives
and caused $35,000,000 worth of
damage, the rest being due to the
more dreaded, but apparently less
dangerous, tornadoes.
These dangers, apparently, are
more or less inescapable. No one so
far has suggested any good tornado
or wind preventive.

EEIIGI0N AND SCIENCE
An appeal that the beliefs of an
old theology should be discarded
from the Christian religion was made
by the Rev. T. Rhondda Williams, in
his address from the chair at the
, ninety-seventh annual assembly of
J the Congregational Union, held in
the City Temple at New York re
cently. Two notable utterances which
formed the keynote of the address.
"Christian Belief in the Modern
World," were:
"It is the misfortune of the
Church that the Creeds which still
hold a formal place in most of them
are, for the most part, impossible of
belief to educated and intellectual
men and women."
"I think the Church has a great
deal to learn from scientists in re
gard to reverence for truth."
"We have got to realize," said Mr.
Williams, "that our traditional doc
trines concerning Jesus, hammered
out as they were in the early councils
of the Church, cannot be made cur
rent coin in the intellectual world
of today."
Official religion was practically
using the dogmatic system of the
pre-scientific world. It was using
modes of thought and language that
belonged to the time when the hu
man race was considered to have or
iginated in Adam and Eve 6,000
years ago, when the earth was the
center of the universe and only re
cently created. This made it impos
sible for a large number of good and
thoughtful people to attend the ser
vices of a church that continued to
talk as if nothing had happened.
"I believe," Mr. Williams declar
ed, "that the present crisis in relig
ion and no thoughtful person can
deny that there is a crisis is due
in part to the fact that thinking in
connection with religion has never
been thorough enough since the days
of the Reformation. It is due to the
further fact that even the best think
ing which has been done has not been
consistently recognized in the ser
vices of the Church.
"If we take the Genesis account
of Adam and Eve to be a legend, are
we still to go on talking about the
fall of man, without explaining that
we mean something different from
what used to be. meant by that
phrase? I know that there is a real
fall of man every day, and there was
a terrific fall of man in 1914. I
know that sin is a fact in human
life and that we rreed to be saved
from it, but this is not what used to
be meant by the fall of man, and it
would prevent confusion of thought
to drop the phrase.
"If we drop it. Is no change f- be
made in that structure of the plan
of salvation which we built up and
founded upon the doctrine of the his
toric fall Are we still to sing 'the
second Adam to the fight and to the
rescue came' when we no longer be
lieve that the first Adam was there?
"Why do we sing of the time
When all was sin and shame'? There
was never such a time. Humanity
never has been entirely in bankruptcy
of goodness, or we should have to
confess that God was entirely out of
His world.
"The framework of the old theo
logy has gone to pieces. I feel quite
sure that, whatever the religion of
the future will be. it will not be
traditional Christianity. Indeed,
traditional Christianity has already
ceased to be the religion of a good
many of our churches, and of a still
larger number of our ministers. But
one thing has not been plainly said
and acknowledged, and our services
have not been recast fully in the
light of that fact.
"In one of our favorite hymns,
people sing: 'False and full of sin I
am, I am all unrighteousness. Not
a man or woman would Bay that of
themselves if they were applying for
a situation. Why do we say things
about ourselves to God in one an
other's hearing which we do not be
lieve and which are not true? To
make such dogmas general adoption,
or hymns for congregations to sing,
lands us In absurd exaggerations and
insincerities."
There is no doubht that a great
deal of preaching about sin and sal
vation today is utterly ineffective,
largely because of the way in which
these words suggested schemes of
doctrine which are no longer believ
ed, largely because of the way in
which these words have been band
ied about in the Church, especially
in the rivalistic type of Bervice.
There was also the old conception
of the Church as consisting of 'sav
ed people," always carrying with it
the implication that those who were
not in the Church were unsaved. This
division between the Church and the
world had made the words "saved"
and "Balvation" not only obnoxious
to many people, but really confusing
to their thought. It was a theory
which has never been true to the
facts. What was more, it could not
be made to fit the facts.
"The more you champion the
theory that the Church is the com
munity of the saints," declared Mr.
Williams, "the more ypu will alien
ate the world you want to win. In
stead of gaining its respect you will
draw its ridicule. It is the misfor
tune of the Church., that the creeds
which still hold a formal place in
most of them are for the greater
part impossible of belief to educated
and intellectual men and women."
"The pulpit is suspected of trim
ming and prevarication and of some
thing very near to, if not quite, in
tellectual dishonesty. Men today
want their religious teaching to be
above board as scientific teaching is.
Until it is so, the Church will not
win the eonfidence of the men who
have been influenced by the scienti
fic temper and habit.
"I think the Church has a great
deal to learn from scientists in re
gard to reverence for truth. In
Church thinking and spaking there is
far too much prudence, tactical care
and worldly wisdom; too much play
ing for safety these things have too
often strangled the witness of the
Church to truth. 'Safety First' is a
good motto for motorists, but it is the
damnation of the Christian ministry.
"The modern world will not accept
your Christianity upon any external
authority, not even the authority of
Christ. In other words, the only au
thority over ue must voice itself
within us. The more you reassert
the other kind of authority, the
weaker you make the Church in its
appeal to the modern world.
"Let us cease to yearn for stabil
ity and take our place in the Divine
movement, cease to think of the
good as that which ever changes to
better. Avoid the fundamental skep
ticism which is so often the bulwark
of orthodoxy. The Church needs to
get its hand clear out of the old
traditional skin and its limbs free for
forward movement. But it also nt-eds
to expose itself to the sun of the
Divine love that it may grow wings.
The most up-to-date theology alone
will not save the Church. It will
save no man. We must grow wings
to mount above the earth, not for
hope only, but for truth."
These are the views of one of
America's most astute thinkers. You
may take them or leave them, as you
see fit.

Rheumatism is a lot of bother, but
it's about the only thing we have to
