eveht of ’ historic significance. A
number of ife pure' tried to recajl
a similar incident in human his
tory, but we' au failed. '
It was a meeting of the natural
law institute, but this year some
thing entirely new was added to
the convocation. Instead of the
speakers being Roman patpolic
Clergy and laymen, the principal
lecturers were Dr. H u Ship, wpd
spoke as a confucian and a prag
matist; Df. Khalifa Abdul Hakim,
a Moslem who catae all the way
from Pakistan; Dr. M- S. Sunda
fkm, a Hindu, First Secretary, Em
bassy of India in Washington; Rab
bi Solomon Freehof, of Pittsburgh,
Who spoke as a Jew. I read a paper
Oh the Buddhist position prepared
tty Professor Daisetz T. Suzuki. To
these speakers, in the round-table
{icussions, must be added Cath
cs and Protestants, particularly
at fascinating Presbyterian,
dge Joseph C. Hutcheson, Jr.,
df Houston, Texas. |
*Herc, under the auspices of a
Roman Catholic university, were
tethered the representatives of the
World’s principal religions to dis
euss their differences and their
points of agreement. The differ
ences were many and often pro
found. and each speaker stood his
ground for his own faith and tra
ction. For instance', Dr. Hakipt
definitely announced that Islam
has nothing to do with the trinity;
that Moslems are Monotheists and
Wnitarians; Dr. Hu Shth. in a de
fense of J»hh Dewey, proclaimed
himself a pragmatist and aii athe
ist; and so the argument went
aihund the clock.
V But as great as were the differ
ences, even more profound was the
re point of unity; namely, that
human beings, at all times,
tmd in every religious expression,
were gropfng to fin«| a form o|
superior or divine intelligence, a
creative wisdom beyond man; 'and
ail human beings of tfveyy clime
and kind, in some manner; found
the natural law,' that is. a Moral
system based on revelation or oh
an acceptance of tradition.
To the Jews, Christians, and
Moslems, this moral law was re
vealed by God to man; in some of
the other .faiths, it came to man
in other way*. But this curious fact
stood oui: the sum of the dis
cussion established that the natural
few is universal; that qte moral
bode of all peoples Is identical.
- Dr. Hu Shih, who proclaimed
himself an atheist, nevertheless said
"It is beyond doubt that through
out Medieval China and down to
feirly recent centuries, the canon
m sacred Scripture of Confucian

as the highest authority in mati
