MJUUH6 OF ATHEISTS
BYSCEHCESGOUTED
Opinions Are Expressed by
Portland Minister.
COLLEGES ARE PRAISED
Pastors Differ Willi Recent Asser
tion of llryan Conriict With
Religion Denied.
No great crop of atheists Is ex
pected to materialize In Oregon from
the teaching of science in the colleges
and universities ot the state, accord
ing to the views of Portland minis
tors, expressed yesterday, notwith
standing the recent declarations by
William Jennings Bryan to the effect
that such a generation is being pro
duced thereby.
"If Mr. Bryan has been correctly
quoted, I should say that he Is out
of line with the best thought of the
scientific world," said Bishop W. O.
Shepherd of the Portland area, Meth
odist Episcopal church, when asked
for an expression on the subject. "As
I view It, people who are not scien
tists must look to the scientists for
light on science, just as those who
are not specialises in religion must
look to the specialist on religion for
light on religion.
Bryan Held Inconsistent.
"The world of science has adopted
the theory of evolution, against
which, as I understand it, Mr. Bryan
rebels. That, It seems to me. Is
where he is inconsistent. The beat
thought of the scholarly world having
accepted the evolutionary ays-tern, it
would seem to me that is the way
we must go. Else, why have scien
tists? "There Is no conflict, so far as I
know, between religion and science;
both have their spheres In human af
fairs. Certainly, we Methodists teach
the sciences In our schools and I
am sure are not raising a generation
of atheists. To the best of my knowl
edge and belief, based upon quite
wide observation. Mr, Bryan's fears
have no real basis, as applied to the
modern teaching of science."
Situation Held Not Serlou.
"I have an Idea that a lot of fel
lows these days are trying to work
out some scheme whereby they will
not have to be quite so unselfish as
the Christian religion requires Chris
tians to be and some of them may be
found in some modern schools teach
ing science, but 1 do not believe the
situation is as serious as my friend
Bryan seems to think it is." said
Dr. Edward H. Pence, pastor of West
minster Presbyterian church.
"Mr. Bryan may know a whole lot
more teachers of science than I do,
and, to an extent, he may be right In
his statements concerning these
teachings, but I do not believe his
fears need be extended to the situ
ation in Oregon. 1 am told on high
authority that the faculties of our
state Institutions are quite generally
composed of men and women whose
lives attest their deep devotion to re
ligion. That being the case, I have
no great fear of results in their
teachings.
Tracking Declared Safe.
'The reverent, high-minded teacher
of science, 1 am sure, is safe in the
teaching of science and I cannot see
how science of itself would lead any
one from true religion. It may be
that some teachers of science would
like to change the situation around a
little In order to sort of ease their
consciences. If so, I do not believe
they will get very far. fo the re
ligious spirit Is pretty thoroughly Im
planted in the youth before they leave
horn, far college or university. Mother
and father have pretty fully put
their spiritual Imprint in these lives
and it does not seem to me that sci
ence teachers are going to get far ill
destroying this by their teachings."
That there is a greater tendency
toward religion and things spiritual
in the colleges and universities today
than In days gone by was the decla
ration yesterday of Bishop Walter
Taylor Sumner, although he admitted
that some students mlffht be led
astray through teachings of science
or phTIosophy.
"I am quite impressed with the
statement of Mr. Bryan that science
as taught in the universities and col
leges is making atheists," he de
clared. "I think his statement should
have included philosophy as well as
the sciences. Possibly he Intended it
should.
Faith f Some Is .Shaken.
"Xo doubt there are some students
who have their faith shaken 'by what
they learn in colleges and universi
ties. I believe, however, that their
number is small and that to a great
extent the teacher of religion is him
self responsible -for the shaking of
the faith, and not the university in
structor. I believe throughout our
universities there Is a stronger spir
itual sense than In years gone by.
and that never before were there so
many ytudents spiritually inclined.
"We send our young p'eople to the
university with only a smattering
knowledge of religion and with a
hardly bowing acquaintance with the
Bible. At the university they meet
with two types of instructors. First,
the Instructor who attempts to star
tle the mind of the- student for the
value of the reaction by statements
which seem to cenflict with religion.
Having arrested the attention, he
qualifies these statements and makes
a very fair-balanced presentation of
his scientific or philosophic point.
Another Type Dlnrusard.
"The second type of instructor Is
one who gives both sides of the ar
gument and leaves it to the student
to make his choice.
"I have seen much of the facnltien
of the universities and colleges of
Oregon and I have learned much from
the students In conference. I am
convinced that on the whole our
young people are being taught with
due regard to the faith and if they
go wrong In their deductions It is
through primary ignorance of spirit
ual things. Inattention, carelessness
or a desire not to be sound re
ligiously. "I cannot overemphasize, however
the tremendous need for supplemen
tary religious training outside of our
colleges and universities that we may
Tiave well-rounded and f inel v-polsed
minds In the comprehension of re
ligious truths. This responsibility
rests not with the universities but
with the religionists, whose vocation
Is to teach religion."
Ileal Danger Ik Scented.
That there is a. real danger in the
teaching of science If taught with
the wrong sort of an atmosphere was
the declaration of Rev. H. H. Grtffls,
pastor of the First Christian church.
"I cannot agree entirely with Mr.
Bryan." he said, "although I do feel
that he is striking at a real danger
in our educational system and point
ing out a serious situation. There is
no question that the atmosphere of
many of our scientific classrooms is
not favorable to truly religious lig-ht.

There should be a more earnest ef
fort to surround the teaching of
fcience with a more Christian atmos
phere." Rev. Father George Campbell of
the Cathedral residence expressed' the
belief that true science taueht in a
pc.lentifio manner and with proper
value given to' proven facts could
have no effect on the spiritual be
lief of the students. He admitted
that there had been mishandling of
pctence in the past by educators with
a resulting: shaking: of tlve faith of
students.
"God is the author of true science. "
he declared, "and there can be noth
ing in the bare teaching of this
koience which could produce atheism."
