Hillel Leader Calls Religion's
God Lifeless and
Unconscious.'
TERMS GOD AUTOMATON
Methodist Clergyman Affirms
Scientist's Beliefs
as Sound.
Einstein' conception of God was
declared to be wanting in spiritual
values by Rabbi Bernard Heller of
the Hillel foundation, while Dr.
Fredercik B. Pisher of the Metho-
dist Episcopal church held it to be
justifiable, in a discussion on the
scientist's cosmic religion between
two religious leaders last night in
the Methodist church.
"Einstein's God seems to me to
be a sort of pale and lifeless cod,"
maintained Rabbi Heller. "He calls
Him an intellect, but yet he de-
prives Him of consciousness, will
and moral idealism. God to him is
a sort of mental automaton spin-
ning out formulae and equations.
He places scientific pursuit not
only on a par with, but also above
spiritual communion."
Cites Lack of Warmth.
Maintaining that mathematical
formulae are "representations of
reality, but not reality itself," Rabbi
Heller criticized the scientist's reli-
gious ideas by saying that "My dis-
satisfaction of such a God concep-
tion is that though it may stimulate
the mind, it is incapable of cheer-
ing the heart and warming the soul
of the great mass of men."
In contrast to the Rabbi's criti-
cism of the German, Dr. Fisher
saw "no reason to quarrel with Mr.
Einstein over his brief, frank and
illuminating statement." Expressing
thie belief that each man should
"find his assurance of God and his
happy adjustment to glorious living
after the manner of his own soul,"
Dr. Fisher declared "there is no rea-
son why a great scientist should
not be a great religionist. A new
era is upon us It is an age of
spiritual exploration and cosmic
discovery.
Termed New Conception.
"We live in a big universe with a
thousand roads that lead to the
experience of God. Einstein has not
atteempwd to establish or even
describe a new religion. He is simply
stating his own conception, and
every man expresses his religious
conception In terms of his own ex-
perience. And he has come to this I
rich conclusin, namely, that cos-
mic religious experience is the
strongest and noblest driving force
behind scientific research."
Justification of Einstein's reli-
gious philosophy is to be based on
the thought that "The important
thing is not the pathway, but the
goal,

SIX J-HOUP BOOTHS5
Independent Students to Meet
Tomorrow to Complete
Organization.
Announcement that only six of
the booths remain for the annual
J-Hop, to be held Feb. 13, in the
Intramural building, was made
yesterday by Jack Spencer, chair-
man of the booths committee.
A final meeting of independent
students planning to attend the
Hop will be held at 7:30 o'clock
tomorrow night in room 304 of the
Union, Spencer stated. Final ar-
rangements for the organization of
the non-fraternity men will be
made at the time. Selection of one
more booth chairman, bringing thef
total number to four, will feature
the meeting.
The deadline for application of
fraternities for booths has been set
for Feb. 1, but it is expected that
the remaining few will be assigned
the next few days. Although a num-
ber of fraternities have made tent-
ative arrangements regarding the
booths, the remaining ones will be
given to any organization applying
for booths and having the required
number of ticket holders.
Application lists which should be
sent to Spencer, should include the
name and ticket number as well
as the girl's name and address. No
booths will be given to any group
not having from 20 to 25 couples
listed.
Arrangements for the tran,-or-1
tation of the furniture, to -be ud A
in the booths, may be made by
communicating with Spencer. The
equipment may be moved into the
Intramural building between the
hours of 10 and 3 o'clock Friday
afternoon, Feb. 13, while it must
be removed from the same times
Saturday.I

"Wars don't occur for any rea-
sonable cause," he said. "The great-
est wars in history have been be-
tween the most progressive nations,
who had the least to fight about."
"Furthermore," he remarked, "we
I fight automatically. We respond to
war stimuli mechanically." These
stimuli, he said, include such things
as bands, uniforms and the other
trappings, and the well known war
slogans. "Usually," he said, "there
is no personal enmity involved in
war.'

On the other hand, there arel
some good things that war has
donetfor the race, Dr. - Needham
pointed out. In primitive times,
only the fittest survived, selection
of higher types thus being aided.
However, modern war selects the
strongest for destruction. But war
has taught us co-operation more
than any other thing we've done,
he said.
In preparation for war in peace-
times, we are being conditioned for
war stimuli, he remarked. What are
popularly known as causes of war
arc merely alternative stimuli. "If
we weren't a fighting species, we
couldn't be driven into war," he
said.
"But I believe we are nearing the
end of war," Dr. Needham stated,
in closing. Through the diffusion
of knowledge, there have come de-
mands for rationality in public be-
havior. Moreover, the progress of
invention has :encouraged mutual
interests and respect among na-
tions. Still more important, he
pointed out, is the fact that war
has become so destructive it must
destroy itself. It now kills women
end children, and in this it coun-
to ils a strong instinct in man
to pl et them.
