Has the Day of Judgement Arrived?
JS THE world really going to hell? Two recent happenings,
one not in the state of Oregon, the other in the state, require
comment. The first is the rather astonishingly bitter battle,
or undignified fracas, at present being waged over the anti
evolution teaching law of Tennessee. The second is a letter
appearing in the Oregonian on May 18 in which a “Taxpayer”
charges the University of Oregon with exerting an irreligious
influence on the students in attendance there. At first thought
these two incidents may not appear to have much in common,
other than the peculiar type of narrpw mindedness as displayed
by the utterances of Mr. Bryan and Mr. Taxpayer.
However, each is indicative of the same movement and each
is indicative of a certain attitude of mind on the part of an
apparently growing number of the population. Persons of this
class have somehow come to feel the responsibility of being
“their brother’s keeper” and they are deadly serious about
carrying out this self-appointed mission. They are so deadly
in earnest about it because they really believe that if they don’t
the world “will go to hell,” “the eternal namnation bow
wows,” or “what-not.”
Mr. Bryan said in a speech delivered in Brooklyn on last
Monday defending the now-famous Tennessee law forbidding
the teaching of evolution in the public schools, “We must win
if the world is to be saved.” Mr. Taxpayer in his letter in
the Oregonian quotes a man as saying that “he believed the
University was responsible for many of its students going to j
hell.”
There is a remarkable similarity in the fundamental thought,
or mental slant, in those two sentences. Each shows a sublime
confidence, a self-righteous smugness, on the part of those indi
viduals in their own godliness and in their self-ordained an- ]
thority to instruct others as to what is right and what is wrong.
They fane ythey already hear the keys of St. Peter jingling in
their santimonious pockets, and now they must show others the
Light.
“If you believe as T do you are right, if you don't believe
as I do you are wrong,’’ is the tenor of their pious chant. That
there may still be some open questions in the field of ethics,
religion, and moral conduct apparently is inconceivable to this
type of mind. Mr. Taxpayer writes. “We expect our state insti
tutions of learning to prepare their graduates to right the
wrongs of mankind, to prevent civilization from rushing head
long over the brink of destruction, to find a correct solution ;
to the mooted problems of peace and war. the industrial issue I
between capital and labor, the growing menace of crime.”
Fearsome phraseology, true, but carrying far more of an
unintelligent emotional appeal by instilling uncritical fear than
demonstrating a careful, thoughtful and judical analysis of con-!
ditions. He speaks of finding correct solutions to various prob
lems, once again giving insight into the style of thought which !
is blind to various shades of gray but cannot see other than ,
black and white.
It is such as he who dream of Utopia, where all is smooth, ]
smug, atrophic “perfection,” and where the thrills of combat
ing resistance and the exotic stimulation of vigorous living j
are blandly denied entrance and condemned as evil.
“Many of its students have gone to hell!” Who shall say?
Surely not Mr. Bryan and Mr. Taxpayer—any more than that
those whom they declare as lost should judge others, Mr. Bryan
and Mr. Taxpayer included, as themselves having gone to hell.
Would it not seem more consistent, even judicious, if these <
persons who so vigorously condemn their brothers would allow
God to care for his children, resting secure that He, in His wis
dom, omnipotence and power, is amply fitted to care for the
glory of His works without the officious, puny assistance of
these heavenlier-than-thou calamity howlers?
Fears for His incompetence are unnecessary. For life, after
all, is not half bad, civilization has not yet “ijushed over the
brink of destruction” and the Universe had been spinning
merrily a long, long time before the first feeble squalls of Mr.
Bryan and others disturbingly announced their arrival on our
relatively minute and insignificant portion of His vast plan.

UNIVERSITY BATTALION
PARADE SET FOR TODAY
Colonel Leader to Witness
Drill of R. 0. T. C.
The first event on the program
for Junior Week-end is scheduled
for 5:15 o’clock this afternoon,
when the battalion parade of the
University R. O. T. C. unit will be
held on the drill grounds south of
the barracks.
A large number of students and
townspeople have witnessed the
weekly parades of the unit, and
have noted the steady improvement
in the drill during the last month.
The parade today will be in the
nature of a demonstration of the
work which has been done by the
military department during the
year, and, with the incorporation of
several new features, promises to
be the best that has yet been given.
Colonel John Leader, who was in
charge of military affairs on the
University campus during the
World war, will witness the parade,
as the guest of Lieutenant Colonel
W. S. Sinclair, commander of the
local R. O. T. C. unit. Although
now a resident of Victoria. B. C.,
Colonel Leader has followed with
interest the work and development
of the military unit on the campus,
since his departure, following the
war.
“Whether or not the ceremonies
will be in the nature of a parade or
a military review has not as yet
been decided, but in all probabil
ity a parade will be held, ns this
^s the more impressive ceremony,”
mid Captain F. L. Culin, executive
officer of the R, O. T. C. depart
ment.
Efforts have been made to se.
cure a cameraman of the Oregon
Tournal’s “Webfoot Weekly” news
•eel, to take moving pictures of
his and other events during Jun
ior Week-end, but no defiiite ar
rangements have been completed.
