Selma Section of
Highway Planned
Salem -IUPII- The Stale High
way Commission has an
nounced plans to rebuild the
Hcgan creek to Selma section
of the Redwood Highway
south of Selma in Josephine
county.
The proposed construction
will eliminate a long, curving
section of the highway, and a
new bridge with a 30-foot
road-way will replace the ex
isting narrow span over Deer
creek.
Length nf the proposed con
struction is 1.37 miles. The
highway would be built to
modern standards and would
have 12-foot travel lanes with
10-foot shoulders. The relo
cated section would be to the
east nf the existing highway,
the department said.
A map showing the pro
posed project has been pre
sented In the Josephine Coun
ty Court. Persons wishing to
express opinions for consider
ation in the tinal plans may
' request a hearing before rcp-
i rescntatives of the commission
by contacting the Josephine
County Court,, the commis
sion announced.
Eugene - A deep thcologi
cal gulf exists between mem
bers of the Baptist and Metho
dist clergy In Oregon, andthis
amerence oi opinion is re
flected In the ministers' atti
tudes on political questions.
These findings have result
cd from a research survey
conducted early this fall by
Dr. G. Benton Johnson, asso
ciate professor of sociology at
the University of Oregon.
Questionnaires were sent to
all Baptist clergymen in Ore
gon affiliated with the Con
servative, Southern, Ameri
can, Swedish, and German di
visions of the faith, and to
all pastors of The Methodist
church in the state. This is the
largest Methodist body in the
U. S. and docs not include the
Wesleyan or the Free Meth
odists. Among the Baptists, 7 per
cent responded, and 82 per
cent of the Methodists return
ed the questionnaires.
Purpose of the study, ac
cording to Dr. Johnson, was
"to find out the extent of the
ological diversity between the
two denominations in this
state and also to find out the
relationship, if any, between
these theological commit
ments and attitudes toward
public issues.''
Conducting Studies
Dr. Johnson for the past
several years has been con
ducting studies of the tie-ins
between religious faith and
participation, political affilia
tion, social attitudes, and vo
ting behavior.
"The Baptists are over
whelmingly theologically and
politically conservative," Dr.
Johnson reported, "and this
is true of all the Baptist de
nominations surveyed."
Although elsewhere in the
country, the American Bap
tists include theological liber
als, "those in Oregon are al
most unanimously of conserv
ative theological opinion," he
observed.
A majority of the Metho
dists turned out to be rela
tively liberal in theology and
politics, although there is a
strong conservative minority
among them, Dr. Johnson re
ported.
One of the major areas of
theological difference invol
ves attitudes toward cschatol
ogy, which deals with such
matters as death, resurrec
tion, Judgment, and the sec
ond coming of Christ, the re
port revealed.
Premillennialiim Beliefs
In this area, " large major
ity of Baptists said that they
believed in prcmillennialism,
while virtually no Methodist
minister reported belief in it,1
Dr. Johnson said.

nialism holds that the second
coming of Christ will precede
and usher in the millennium
and often carries with it the
assumption that the moral
condition of the world is not
improving and there Is little
that Christians can do to
make it better.
Apparently reflecting these
theological divergences,
"some of the sharpest differ
ences among the clergymen
are to be found in the area of
politics," according to Dr.
Johnson's findings.
Ninety per cent of the Bap
tist pastors reported that they
considered themselves "po
litirnllv ennKervative ." and 83
they had tended to support
the Republican party during
the last five years.
"On the other hand," Dr.
Johnson pointed out, "two
thirds of the Methodist min
isters reported that they were
political liberals, although
slightly more than half of
them indicated that they had
supported the Republican
party in recent years. This
perhaps reflects the conserv
ative strain which is still
found among the Methodists."
Condemn Gambling
In the field of morals, "both
groups equally and over
whelmingly condemn ganv
bling and are rather solidly
opposed to the use of alco
hol," Dr. Johnson said.
In general, the Baptists arc
more opposed to smoking,
card-playing, and theatergo
ing than are the Methodists,
he noted.
"The divergences noted In
the study probably represent
cleavages of long standing,
differences which have de
veloped over the last one hun
dred years at least," Dr. John
son explained.
"In the early part of the
century, the Methodist church
took an active part in the So
cial Gospel movement, which
was dedicated to changing so
ciety along the lines advoca
ted by political liberals. Al
though many Baptists were
involved in this movement,
the great body of Baptists,
especially in the West, were
opposed to it, he continued.
Fundamentalist - Modernist
Furthermore, many of the
theological differences are a
legacy of the fundamentalist-
modernist controversy which
shook a good many Proteslant
denominations in the 1030s,"
he pointed out.
The similarity In attitude
toward such matters as drink
ing and gambling "may be
traced to the historical unity
which a great many Protest-
ant denominations have
forged on certain moral ques
tions," Dr. Johnson said.
"It undoubtedly reflects the
Puritan tradition which is
still a part of the American
culture," he added. I
This unanimity in matters i
of conventional morality fits I
in very well with the fact that
both the Baptist and Metho
dist denominations were
strong supporters of the Pro
hibition movement In the
1920s, Dr. Johnson observed.
