"Unless organized religion stops seeking old, elusive gods and iden- tifies itself with scientific humanism in an attempt to improve Man, it is doomed to perish from the earth." Thus five of the country's capable academicians admonished their brethren of the intelligentsia in a letter sent out last week to authors, teachers, scientists and scholars. But if the above appear intem- perate, witness this further expli- cation of the skeptic view which now overtly permeates the profes- sorial ranks of our universities. "The trend of our time is scien- 'tific. . . The great organized churches are insisting on at least formal acceptance of a lot of medi- eval superstititions . . are giv- ing only lip service to the ideals of humility, simplicity and friendli- ness which are characteristics of Jesus. . . . While the imperial Diety, seated on a throne and de- manding worship and flattery is a myth, the Super-Self of our own nobler nature, the Hidden Dynamo within mankind, can and does lead man from primitive society to the State, to the Democracy, and on to that which does not yet ap- pear. . .." And so the wrangle continues- the Pope's boadside denouncing naturalism followed by a reasser- tion of the hegemony of human- ism and the state-to the effect that we seem again to be on the brink of a struggle over methods of equilibration, or- seeking harmony, in which the old-time missinary zeal is openly demonstrated by the skeptics with befitting irony.
