4 Thoughts For Our Time

claim for those of todayl

A position like this argues. first

of all, that scientists have been, by and large. Ul'ibCiieVEl'a. Second- ly it implies that if scientists be- lieve in God, then it must be true that there is a God. and that therefore the rest of us had better get busy and start believing in Him too. But neither implication is true. The scientists of the past have not been, by and large, un- believers; nor does the fact that a scientist believes something offer the rest of us a particularly strong motive for believing it too. 'Lots of the old scientists were deeply religious. I mention only a few whose achievements in science have been most remarkable. Gal- vani. Copernicus, Ampere, Volta. spallanzlni. Pasteur, Trembley, Mendel. Stensen. and so on. This I state merely as a fact.' It proves nothing about the reality of Di- vine Truth. But it does show that any implication that all great scientists have in the past been irreligious is, to say the least, silly.

On the other hand, there is a great deal of faulty thinking going on when so many, particularly school teachers and their pupils. are inclined to accept a. non-sclen- tlfic position as valid only when a scientist does so too. We would all do very well to bear in mind the following remarks made in his Bampton lectures by the wise Mr. Mozley:

"The truths of these respective deparunents (religion and science) are the truths of two different spheres. There are difficulties in it personal deity. there are diffi- culties attaching to prayer. and there are difficulties attaching to special providences; but those dif- ficulties are exactly the same whether the cellular theory is true or false. and whether the sun is fed by the mechanical collision om asteroids or by the continuous condensation of its own matter." The problems of the soul do not find their ultimate solution in a high school laboratory!

An amusing objection to Time's article was the following: "Yes. science leads to God. but not to the anthropomorphic God of Juda- ism, Protestantism and Catholic- ism." To a God. that is, who has been given human characteristics and qualities. But surely the fact that the Protestant. Catholic or Jew knows God according to his, own human way of knowing does not imply that God has these lim- ilations in Himself. No human knowledge clrcumscrlbes God. The so-called scientist who thinks he knows more about God than any- one else. or that his God is less or more anthropomorphic than anyone else's is cleiudlng himself. Cliches like the above fall far too easily from the lips of the man

who has mastered the jargon of science merely, without having over sifted the corn of truth from he bran.

The Thorpe Affair .

i By Phillip Lesly

Terry glanced about the apart- ment. It was lavishly furnished, its three rooms containing enough exipenslve furniture for five. Be- sides the living room and the bed- room. there was a small den. He looked into this. noting that there were no books; the only case con- tained liquor and glasses. This apartment. one of several Thorpe maintained, apparently served as is stopping place in which he could keep a change of clothes. the mak- ings of a drink, and a place to sleep when the mood for doing that was on him.

"I wonder," Terry said casually, "what percentage of his visitors here were women."

"If you say a hundred." Stevens replied dryly. "you're as close as you can get. Let me tell you. this boy's creaking won't leave no gap in the wheel of progress or any- thing like that. He was an A-1 rat. start to finish. Just name some-

"He made more money in a day," the star man put in, "than I get in a year. And every of it was dlrty."

ly, his shoulders drooping as they always did when he was relaxed, his eyes roving. But his mind was working rapidly. Certain threads: of information were beginning to weave themselves into line. He looked again at the corpse, then at the gun. He hesitated a mom-

ent. then approached Stevens again.

"In case this was murder." asked, "who is there that Thorpe enough to kill him?”

"Boy. that's a big order. About all ya have to do is take a. tele- phone book and point out a name and therc'll be a guy that'd sell his pants t' see the rat dead."

"Yes. but this looks more life an inside job. You know. somebody that knew Thorpe pretty well. Not many people knew about this place or when Thorpe would be here, 1 figure it probably was somebody he crossed up in a business deal or something like that." '

Stevens grunted. "That's still a big order. but a guy named Millis was in some deals with him lately. Lorenz was in on some big betting with Thorpe down in Florida and Robertson and McCormick were helpers of his in the business end. And then there was Zeler and Benson-if yuh want any more yuh better get a notebook and a couple dozen pencils."

"Mikes it kind 'of easy for you. ,doesn't it?" Terry chided. "In the old days I detective had to use hisi own brains to solve a case."

"Yeah." Stevens admitted, 'but. now all the killers know about these things too. and they make; their murders that much harder to see through. It's not much eas-, ier'n it used to he." i

Terry looked- about and saw that; the reporters and detectives were' clustered into two groups. There was no one in the bedroom with the corpse. Walking aimlessly about. he slowly made his way to the bedroom door. He looked around. noticed that no one was watching him, and stepped into the bedroom. carefully closing the door behind him enough to block him from view. He approached the corpse. slow- ly, fighting down a nausea that came over hlni. The sight of the blood-caked wound sickened him. and he was rcvolted by the thought of touching the body. But he stopped over and gripped Th0rpe's shoulder. He lifted it about two inches off the floor and peered under it. He dropped it again hurriedly and stepped back. After hesitating for a moment he set himself and stooped tn the other shoulder. He lifted it as he had the other and looked beneath. This time a soft whistle escaped through his teeth. He reached down and picked up a black object that lay under Thorpe's chest. To he continued

In cold regions. the mirage is usually an iceberg in the sky. This is explained in the following man- ner. The air near the sea has been cooled while higher up there is a warm layer.
