TRUB RELIGION
LOOKS AHEAD
SAYS INGLIS
Lincoln Ptor Speak.
Forum on "Religion
And Progress"
to
TWO CHRISTIAN VIEWS
On, Croup Always Holding Back,
But Other Hava Faith
In Tho Future
"Pi-ogress comes only through men
and women struggling, working, and
making the extreme sacrifice and
through their relationship with their
God," declared Rev. Ervine Inglis, of
the Vine Congregational church, at,
"the World Forum luncheon Wednes
day noon at the Grand Hotel. This
was the fifth of a series of discus
sions on "progress" and dealt with
the relationship of religion to pro
grass.
"There are two distinct views in
the Christian conception of religion"
Rev. Mr. Inglis pointed out. "First,
there is the priestly point of view,
which looks backward ; then there is
the prophetic point of view, which
looks forward. The priestly type
considers it the duty of the individual
to conserve all the good things that
have ever occurred. One should
be careful lest the religion of the
past may have grown old and useless.
The prophetic type looks entirely
to the future,
''The trouble with the Lutherans,"
he continued, "is that they have fol
lowed Luther but have failed to leave
him and continue with his work
they have stopped where he stopped.
The prophetic religion would look
further into the future and eventual
ly would come into posession of
something looking toward progress."
Spencer Proved Wrong
Herbert' Spencer believed that pro
gress to be automatic, all one had to
do was to fold up his hands and high
er levels would come about. In 1914
Mr. Spencer's theory was proven
wrong religion was right Progress
is not automatic nor drifting but it
is a struggle, a discipline, a control
of all morals the realization of the
hiphest of ideals.
"Progressive religion," Rev. Mr.
Inglis explained, "is not fighting evo
lution as a document of progress.
Science and religion must go arm in
arm, digging upward or the drift will
be downward. Religion is a necess
ity to progress and must find ex
pression in some manner before pro
gress can be definitely realized. Af
ter six thousand years of the develop
ment of this great and complex it is
not likely that religion would be done
away with, but we must realize its
importance in the progress of our
country, for progress comes only
through men and women and their re
lationship to their God."
Wealth No Indication
Automobiles, luxuries, and wealth
do not necessarily indicate a coun
try's progress. Religion holds that
progress depends on the higher con
trols and unless these are firmly
implanted in mankind there will not
be progress, but a drift backward.
"It hasn't been long," Rev. Mr. In
glis said, "since the time when reli
gion would not have been given a
place in the series of topics on "Pro
gress." A round table discussion followed
the address and Rev. Mr. Inglis an
swered questions.
Dr. Hattie Plum Williams will dis
cuss "Sociology and Progress" at the
luncheon next week.

Thirty-three teams have sent in

In a pamphlet sent out ts all the
high schools in the state the athletic
department states: "It is our aim to
make this tournament the biggest

standpoint, as well as athletic," and
that they believe, "that a tourna

so many high schools, is productive
of much good in promoting clean
sportsmanship. It is to that end that
we are now working on this tourna

This takes more time than can ever
be imagined. The book must then
be printed. This is a long process
which involves the work of a great

that a number of desirable tickets
will be returned the night of the

STUDENTS ATTEND
OMAHA AUTO SHOW
Members of Farm Anto and Tractor
Classes See Exhibition; Ford
Plant Inspected
The auto and tractor classes at the
College of Agriculture visited the
auto show at Omaha Wednesday. It
has been the custom for these classes
to spend one day each year at the
automobile show at Omaha. They
left Lincoln in automobiles about 8
o'clock Wednesday morning, and they
reached the Ford assembling plant
about 9:30, and spent the balance of
the forenoon there. Guides were
furnished to take the classes through.
T.ie afternoon was spent at the auto
mobile show where many passenger
cars and trucks were on display.
It was impossible for every one
to see all the new features on exhi
bition. Consequently, the responsi
bility was distributed by having one
person pay particluar attention to
the rear axles, another to ignition
systems, another to the horse power,
and another to the brakes, etc When
this data is compiled at a later period,
all the members will be mutually
benefitted.
Student Do Repair Work
The classes do a good deal of over
hauling on autos and gas engines
during the semester in the farm mot
ors laboratory. Recently two small
gas engines have been overhauled
and are now ready to be returned to
their owners. One was brought in
from a farm near Wahoo. The own
er said that be had ben unable to
get any further service from it. The
! machine was in very poor condition
when it arrived. The engine was
cleaned, bearings repoured, valves
ground, gears retimed, and a fresh
coat of paint applied. The engine
is now practically as good as new
Two Ford motors and one Cadillac
motor have also been repaired by the
class.

fessor in the agricultural engineering

The third round of interfraternity
basketball started Wednesday. Two
teams advanced to the semi-finals,
the Kappa Sigma outfit trampling
on Alpha Sigma Phi and Phi Sigma
Kappa winning from the Phi Kappa
five.
The first game was very uneven,
the Kappa Sigma five showing a de
cided superiority in passing and in
hitting the basket Othmer started
the scoring by tipping one in from
under the goal. Ullstrom followed
with another. Othmer tossed in a
free throw. Curtis started the scor
ing for the Alpha Sigs, after Krawl
had made a gift toss, with a nice field
goal. Krawl came in for a short
shot.
Kappa Sigs Ran Wild
Othmer made two free throws and
Krall one. Othmer ran in and tipped
aa attempt into the ring. Both teams
missed on a double foul. Paulsen
counted up two points for the Kappa
Sigs. Othmer put in a quickly exe
cuted snnr, and followed with an
other soon after. Paulsen was feed
ing Othmer nicely. The Kappa Sigs
were getting a lot of short shots,
and making most of them. The half
ended 19 to 2, in favor of Kappa
Sigma.
Ullstrom scored a free throw to
open the half. Holmes came up from
guard to cage a field goal. The Al-
pha Sigs-seemed unable to hit the where the Huslers compete St-

Allentown, Pa., Feb. 23. A chim-i
panzee is more than four times as '
strong as a man of the same weight,

of the country to pull a rope at

better than the average man can do

Appointed to the presidency of the

PICTURES TAKEN
OF STUDENT CARS
Omaha Daily News To Use Photo of
Vehicles Used Instead of
Rent-a-Fords
It is quite a usual thing of two or
three old battered Fords, each con
taining a half-dozen or more students
to be seen parked in front of Social
Science building in the afternoon.
But yesterday, when students came
from their two o'clock classes, there
were five obsolete Fords drawn up
by the curb. And in them, on them,
and around them, were seventy-five
or more smiling young men and wo
men. A photographer was officiat
ing over the whole scene.
This was the latest development
in the anti-rent-a-Ford campaign.
The Omaha Daily News correspond

taken to show the sort of vehicles
which the students are putting more
and more faith in as they continue
their protest against an increase in

that they were the object of unfair
