! Youth Creedless But Is Religious, Says Hindu •_ I Religions Come And Go, Hut Kt * ligion Goes On Forever. Literary Digest. Religion, may • come anti go. change with changing human need; but religion, like the poet s over, goes on lor eve iv Which is a way oi saying that the undergraduates of today, as another observer sees him. ats revolted against the old tradi ions, discarded creed m a .useless hitch and lound more religious satisfaction in reason than in blind aiih; This i. the undergraduate as ToL Samuel Lucas Joshi depicts ■in in 'ah-article'in the New York evening Roil. Professor Josh I wu . formerly ol th». University ol Mad ras m India and now holds the dunr of comparative • religion at’ Dartmouth.

To return to hts article. Profe.s sor Joshi writes that, a diversity of opinion exists among the unefer ; graduates regarding the need of re jligion as being vital to modern life but the majority of college men, ; while acknowledging the need of man's spiritual regeneration, have determined never again to return to the traditional forms of Chris ! tian theolbgye •‘They sense the need of a metaphysical and scien tific background on which the superstructure of religious theory and practice should be bulft.'' per haps it should be noted here that an attitude may alarm some of the i religious leaders and cause dismay among the conservatives to whom all religion is summed up in a creed and faith defined hi dogma, | and they may object to giving space to thee outpourings of youthful minds as being calculated to spread disbelief, or at least raise a doubt among the immature that the truth lias been once for all deliv ered. Out error, if error there be, can not be combated until it is un covered, and it is necessary for the church to learn what is going on in their minds if It would know how to deal with the younger gen eration. The study of religious as a key fo the understanding of the cultures of various civilizations 6eems to be the line of least resistance which is being followed bv progressive American colleges, writes Professor Joshi. At the end of the last, aca demic year he asked his class on comparative religion to write pa pers frankly expressing their opin ions on religion. and he selected some extracts as typifying the at titude of the American undergradu ate toward religion today: "II 1 were to fact down in one sentence my conception of God, the universe and religion in general, it would be in accordance with the more or less pantheistic view; namely, the identification of God with the universe and the laws of nature. That God would be an im partial creator impervious to pray er and sacrifice and unapproach able by bribes of any sort, In short, man's salvation would lie solely within himself and Mould not be the special dispensation of ar.y God or hierarchy of gods. Stri would be en tirely mental, and not a part of man as in Christianity, for the only sin would be the misuse of the laws of nature by which the uni verse is governed, the result of which would be pain and the de privation of happiness. Thus seen, God would be in no sense an anthropomorphis being. “I would subscribe to no formul ated creed or dogma, guiding my life entirely within myself. I “would accept, no theology and attend no church, since these factors do not (it in with my scheme of life. Creed for me would take the form of working in accord with the laws of nature and my fellow man. The sociological aspect of welfare also enters in here—a utilitarian phase, ‘The greatest good for the greatest number.* Here, on the oilier hand, are widely different points c! view as for instance: “'God* is merely a vague term for the unchanging laws of nature, and he who by prayers and sacri fices expects to interfere with these laws is surely, on the highway to insanity. Perfection can be reached only by man working along with his fellows intelligently.'’ "All religions are based on cer tain hypothetical postulates, and It is idle to sit in judgment on any as long as they bring forth the fruit of good conduct and stand the pragmatic test.’’ "The incentive of compensatory rewards and retributive punish ments in this life or the next Is necessary to the moral development of the individual, but the ideal of doing a noble act without any at tachment to the fruit of action as rtaugnt. oy tne snows ana u.m; veld Oita in India is nobler.” -The Buddhist view that every man must exercise aright ins fret; will and become the master of Ills I own fate under the law oi Karma is to me the must sensible idea of !salvation ever known ' ■ 1 find no Inducements to rely bn the future life which was so cor | tain to our Puritan ancestors that !they never lived while here on ! earth. 1 w as brought up as a strict Methodist, but a comparative study | of all religions and tlielr literature* : has completely changed my mind. The soul is merely an emotion ; c reated by the secretion of our ductless glands, and 1 am afraid jthe great masses of Americans are i likely to drift Into animism like the ■ Chinese,” •• 'Know thyself’ is the best sum ' man, of religion given bv India and ; Greece to the world The attain ; ment of happiness to the lulle.st ex tent by all races should be the aim ' of true religion. I believe the great est satisfactions of life do not come i merely from pecuniary gain but by ! the due recognition of the spiritual 1 element in man and the universe, I j see nothing beyond the grave. I 1 would like to believe In ho personal I God, nor in the Immortality of the j soul. ' “I believe if we all believed in the j sensible law of Karma the world I would seem a better place to live | in.” “If an inordinate desire to ac I quire wealth dominates our life, we : become less capable to love our neighbors as ourselves. The ethics o! j individual sell-realization appeal to I me as a better type of religion than j mechanical prayers in eongregn j t tonal worship Truly religious men ; must learn to depend more on the i authority of experience and reason I than the authortty of the Church or | the scriptures.” “None of the Semitic religions 1 has ever appealed to me. They have I no satisfactory met a physical back ground so essential to the rational ] understanding of religion Buddha never wasted time and energy in i speculating on the nature, of God, j but in a preeminently practical | way organized a religious movement ; which seems to appeal b< th to the | scientist and the philosopher. The Christian view that you must .se cure your salvation by placing your faith m the merits of the crucifix ion is suggestive of mental indolence and lacks the dynamic moral ener gy of Buddhism, which tells every man to work out hi: own salvation. As we are unconsciously cncourag ing lawbreakmg arid hypocrisy hrough half-baked attempts to en force Prohibition, so the ministers of churches are often forced to be preaching doctrines in which they have ceased to believe and encour aging hypocrisy. I follow Christ, hi regarding hypocrisy as the greatest sin,” NAGGING IMPAIRS, DIGESTION, SAVS IHH'TOR London.—Naggtlig ruins the di gestions of others than tlie nagger, according to Dr. Bernard Hollan der. ' One is .iust as likely to have dyspepsia lrom the nagging of a wile or a husband as from gastic i ulcer." Dr. Hollander told the South Place Ethical Society here. “Often it u not real misfortune which disturbs the health, but the trifling nothings, the petty annoy ances, the pin-prick ot life which cause emotional reactions and by their constant repetition produce! nervous exhaustion. “Anxiety emaciates its victims; I ; taith, hope and courage assist ini strengthening the body j “The man of violent temper gives himself a dose of poison just as if he had swallowed one. The toxin produced by fear, act ing on the brain and sympathetic sy*tem, is one of the most power ful poisons introduced into the blood.” ,M STAR Si AOS 1 i iuuiui »rmnn Rcjislercd In Nation In 1978 Vt a Ivington.—The number of mo | tor vehicles registered in the Unti led States rose to 24,493.124 las', year, tlie Bureau of Public Record I announced, pk.cinii the increase ! over 1927 at 1 ;ahr»,KH3 or 5 9 per cent I The figure based on State rea list ration reports, covered autoino i bile , taxis, buses, motor trucks and , road tractors, but did not include ! 148.169 trailers and 117,040 motor - j cycles.
