the jeers and tribulations
thrown at her by the society
in which she lives.

Dr. Shapley
Links Religion,

"Every time you fill your
lunes with air. you are
breathing 200,000 atoms of ar
eon that Jesus Christ
breathed."
This is how Dr Harlow
Shapley, world-renowned as
tronomer, linked the past with
the present in a speech to an
overflow crowd in uve ia
brary auditorium yesterday.
Within the space of an hour,
Dr. Shapley ranged from dis
cussing the limitless universe
and analyzing the limits be
tween an animate and inani-
mate object to giving a light
but factual account of "How
I got religion."
Dr. Shapley sees no in
evitable conflict between re
lieion and science. The rea!
problem, he said, seems to
be between orthodox theology
and the "simple creeds" of
Jesus and Buddha.
