Oregon, as second class matter OUR IRRELIGIOUS " 41 --.(Copyrighted by the San Jcsc'Mercnry) j During the past year William Jennings Bryan has been going about the country preaching against the methods 'and ideals of our ujiirersities, being especially emphatic and bit ter'against some professors of biology, zoology and geology ... for the way in which they teach these sciences. Mr. Bryan, who is , a . Presbyterian of the old school, may be thus de nouncing these methods and teachings because he sees in them, if continued, disaster for his particular religious faith. Like nearly all sectarians, he is doubtless honest in believing that if his own faith be destroyed, all religion worthy of the name will have been swept away. Ifhowever, any such ca lamity as the destruction of religion is threatened, of course '" all right-thinking men and women should bestir themselves to-prevent it. " ' . ; V-- ! ' ; "" ' ' Supplementing thl "cry of Mr. Bryan; two authors in one crof the.leading magazines have drawn an Indictment against -the colleges and universities for their irreligious tendencies. They say that whit, the colleges and 3jniversiue3 need is what all the world needs,;religion. If they are to retain their ? fmpbrtarice, they must b able to impart spiritual leadingjo -mind that ire fit to receive it. If they do not, they fail in tHeir inbst "vital fficevJf they fail in that, they lose their leadership,' which 'will' go; to men of faith; as: it always does. The great void in the world, continues one of these au thors, "ia the lack of standards; standards in business, in politics, .in international relations in fact, in every, walk and avocation of life. Nowhere is this truth more manifest than in our colleges and universities. What standards exist in educational theory, in teaching, in research, in scholar ; ship; in advancement of ..professors, gave the most artificial and superficial ? ..-Above all else where are the standards of lofty moral ideals and leadership to which the colleges and ' uAiversiUeV throughout their departments once pointed their unaergraauaxes j "1 ; - . - .. k t . ...There' is. much' truth in all of this. It cannot be denied that our -universities do not attempt to provide for the re ligious needs of their students, dents themselves or to their sities are public institutions; will be made that they should versally followed by, the public schools, and, not undertake to teach religion. vBut by .these, as well as by privately en dowed institutions,1 there:sljould. at leastrbe" the recognition of the three-fold nature of men.

This nature, the highest and most important part of man, cannot: be neglected in, his develop ment without a great letting down in lus moral fiber, as well as in his intellectual ability and attainments. More important still, the nature should go hand in hand intellectual and physical natures: ' Nourishment of this high est part of man's individuality should be afforded during the r 1 SKTfOOfc .

Otherwise it will, be partly or wholly neglected The ideal education is one wherein due attention is given to the three elements of the nature, physical, intellectual and spiritual.

We should be inition of religion too narrow. It would be well to bear in mind that sectarianism is not necessarily religion or Chris tianity. The sectarian is apt to think that he who rejects the particular form of faith to which he himself subscribes has cast aside all religion and is an infidel or worse. But one may even not affiliate with any of the prevailing forms of religion and still be intensely religious, having an unshak able belief and trust in God and making daily efforts to more nearly, realize his ideals In seeking a cure for the irreligion in the universities, we must recognize that the student often finds it difficult to reconcile the teachings of the class room and the demonstra tions of the laboratory with churches. We who1 would replace this irreligion in the uni versities with a general and vigorous religious life must come to the point where we will be when they conflict with demonstrated and ascertained truth, or we shall meet with small success in this effort. To do this is in no sense giving up religion or destroying the Bible or the faith of the student in it. On the contrary, it is meeting the situation which modern knowledge and research compel, in order that the studenU of our universities in this day .may. find it more easy for them to believe in the Bible and pos sible for them to accept our It does no good to the cause of religion to condemn pro fessors for teaching science according to the facts a3 they find them, nor. to call, upon the students to reject these teachings. It only makes the cause of religion more hope less as to them, and may do irreparable damage by fixing in the minds of the young the is all there is of our religion, pretations of the Bible the only them to definitely reject the Under the pending tariff bill.

When the Democrats are in power they will . be accused of favoring the solid South in the matter of clim ate and some statesman will be elected president on a platform of equal and indivisible climate for all. William Jennings Bryan wiU be stumping the country in favor of a declaration for sixteen showers to one cyclone, and the Populists will be demanding that the government manufacture all weather and furnish it free to every citizen. The prohibition ists, will still be insisting on a bone-drr country, while the souses will be. yelping for a wet Sunday. Senator Borah will be accused of having a cold wave up his sleeve and the government will bet asked to prosecute a lot of Kentucky nioonshiners for bootlegging their own climate by the use of the radipspect. The women will be organizing the merry sunshine party, and will insist on a declar ation, for a minimum of rain. Jim Reed will be suspected of having formed an entangling alliance with a Montana blizzard and the Massachusetts delegation will come to congress for adequate tariff protection against the pau per climate of Shetland.

A SENTENCE SERMON Peepul: If you aren't a fanit mender you have no right to be a fault finder. Arkansaw Thom as Cat. - SOI L AND BODY Dr. Camille Flammarion, the eminent French astronomer, says that he has positive evidence that the soul survives the body after death and he has had several per sonal contacts with the fact. He does not merely accept another's statement, nor does he consider any argument of book or brain. From the stern viewpoint of the scientist he has made his inves tigations extending over more than 50 years and he says h? has every material assurance of the existence of the soul and its flight from the human body at death. He does not say that it long endures. He knows nothing of a heavenly state or existence. but be says the separation of the soul from the body at the time of death is an abfofate verity.
