University Meeting. The subject Dr. Wieman devel oped last evening at a discussion meeting held for young people at 7:15 o'clock in the University Kpiscopal church dealt with the subject of the problems which true Christians would be forced to meet with the future changes in the social order. "When institu tions, ideals and habits of men fit their structure, everything goes well, but as soon as the old order docs not fit, there is conflict," the speaker pointed out. Explaining that the three orders, which stood paramount in most persons minds with the suggestion of a change, were: Communism, Facism, and Capitalism. Dr. Wie man commented, "With the change of social orders, I am convinced that It will not be transformed Into any one of the three." In mak ing this statement he conceded that only one order might be adopted and this only temporarily, the order' of which he spoke be ing Facism. Wieman Appeals To Religious. Dr. Wieman emphasized the fact that at times when the question of social conflict arose, those per sons who have their sensitivities fitted to the old structure find it difficult to make a translation, and thus it is necessary to sum mon all the powers of devout re ligious strength possible Points which Dr. Wieman sug gested as being essential for a Christian to follow in periods of conflict included the sustaining and promoting of a social system for the cooperation and communl tive action among men, superior to that of the present day; the fact that he must remember that the meanings which unite him and his enemy are greater than those things In which they have op position; the necessity of commit ting oneself to the sustaining might of God who protects with out violence, and the desirability of forming purposes, objectives ind ideals which will be of a pro gressive nature. At the conclusion or nls address an open forum was held and ques tions on the subject which he had discussed were answered by Dr. Wieman.
