Doubtless the external'forms of worship are dying out,and along with them is passingaway the pious belief in arbitrarydogma. But do these symptomsreally signify that science and phil­osophy are taking the place of re­ligion? Do they not rather de­note a change in the outward mani­festations of religious spirit, whilethe very spirit itself remains un­impaired? The instinctive belief inan Unknowable is deep-rooted inevery human being. In an uncon­scious way even the most skepticalscientist is religious."To set forth this inner feelingin words, however, to formulate itso that it may crystalize in theminds of others, is a task which,as Dr. Fitch points out, requiresboth imagination and real religiousexperience. For the existence ofGod cannot be proved either hypure reason, or by physical senseperception. Goethe said: 'The uni­verse, divided by reason, leaves aremainder,' and it is this residuewhich must be explained by relig­ious faith."The Crimson, laboring under the de­lusion that it is expounding a mod­em and progressive doctrine, is of­fering dogma of the most, reactionarytype. For it is science itself whichhas destroyed dogmatic theolo�. In-,,'>t.,,'.1",�... ' quiry into the Unknown, and spec­ulation concerning the Unknowabte,are, as The Crimson has Stated, deep­rooted in every human being. But itis a gross fallacy to assume that they'are part and parcel of religious faith.Contemplating the Unknowable is nolonger within the realm of thechurch; this search has been rele­gated to the fields of philosophy andmetaphysics. Religion-the church-is devoting its efforts more andmore to service, to bettering the im­mediate conditions of humanity. Re­ligious faith is not curiosity about theUnknowable; it Is 30mething fargreater, far more tangible; it is faithin the destiny of man.P ACIFISl\I AGAIN_To the charges of suppression oflegitimate opinion, voiced by "ASenior" and printed elsewhere on thispage, we hasten to offer an emphaticdenial and an evidently necessary ex­planation. In the first place, the pro­gram of the Women's Peace partywas not a part of the writer's com­munication; the editorial was a reply,not to the unpublished Peace Partyprogram, but to the accompanyingletter, and the purpose of our articlewas neither to do an injustice to thecause of the Party nor to arouse thesavage breast!Suppression of news or opinion isone of the most prevalent vices ofthe press. Realizing this to the full­est extent, The Maroon has not onlybeen Willing to give space to expres­sions of student and faculty senti­ment, but has welcomed it. TheMaroon does, however, reserve for it­self the right to use discriminationin the publication of communications;were all the correspondence intendedfor publication printed, the columnsof the paper would be cluttered witheloquent exhortations to attend classdances, with the airing of petty per­sonal quarrels, and even, at times,with unadultered profanity. Ob­viously, no newspaper could feel itselfin honor bound to offer to its readersall letters received. To cite a hypo­thetical case: a group of studentsform a society whose aim is to fos­ter hostility against, let us say, Ger­many; and the propaganda for thisbelligerent movement is straightwaysent to The Maroon. With the highestwelfare of both the University andthe nation in view, The Maroon couldnot enhance, by publicity, what itdeemed an unreasonable and detrimen- .tal cause. And yet The Maroon wouldno; be resorting' to unethical prac­tices in attempting to que}! such adangerous spirit.,It seems evident that our communi­cator's accusation of unfair play is,indeed, ill-grounded. As the much­maligned editorial in Saturday's issueexplained, the pacifist propaganda isin direct opposition 'to the policy offar-sighted ness, to which The Maroonhas subscribed for reasons previouslystated.COMMUNICATIONS(In view of the fact that the com­munication column of The DailyMaroon is maintained as a clearing­house for student opinion, TheMaroon accepts no responsibility forthe sentiments therein expressed. Com­munications must be signed as an evi­dence of good faith, although thename will not be published withoutthe writer's consent.)Peace Party Propaganda.To the Editor:A daily newspaper, we assume, hasa standard of ethics to which it holdsmore or less tenaciously. A univer­sity paper, like other dailies, is sup­posed, is it not, to be a clearing housefor public opinion as well_as a me­dium for the expression of the edi­tor's views? And no intelligent per­son does for a moment assume thatThe Maroon, for example, endorsesal1 the views which are presented in,its columns, especially under theblack-faced caption with which weare lately growing familiar. Why then did the' editor, on receiving theletter from Miss Bre'ckinridge whichwas published on Saturday, feel itnecessary to suppress the major partof Ute communication, upon whichhe yet commented at some length? ,To comment editorially upon a state­ment to which publication is deniedseems to me to be as bad taste, notto say bad ethics, as to refer in thebody of a theme, without' reciting it,to its title. If there was not spacefor both, why not have published theprogram first and have commentedafterwards? If the action of the edi­tor is to be taken as an indicator,the program of the Women's Peaceparty must either be so good as to bedangerous to the militarists, or so badas not to deserve comment at all!I am far from being a convincedpacifist, yet 'I feel that the .spirit offair play was rudely violated in Sat­urday's editorial. Probably MissBreckinridge herself is not preparedto endorse every article in the pro­gram outlined, ardent for peacethough she is, but she does desire, Ifancy, to give University people anopportunity to be informed upon bothsides of a very real and not minorproblem. Surely there are many wo­men and perhaps some men whowould like to know exactly what thepresent program of the party is, andwho could find out through the pagesof The Maroon more easily than in anyother way. I therefore request thatyou publish the program in full atthe earliest possible date, not forMiss Breckinridge alone, richly asshe deserves reparation for the injus­tice done her cause, but for the peo­ple who want to know what the Peaceparty actually stands for. The requestis made because I believe, as I hopeyou, do, in the freedom of the pressto publish, not to suppress, diverseviews on current issues.A Senior.Und�uate Bibie Courses.To the Editor:May I claim a few lines of yourspace to express my entire agreementwith the opinion of Bishop Williamsrespecting the Importance of generalbiblical courses open to undergrad­uates, as printed in your issue of lastThursday, and to call attention to thefact that the University of Chicago'offers to undergraduates a somewhatlong list of courses of the characterreferred to. by him.
