M. Davis (United Press.) New York, June help the human race if the sort of science that we saw exemplified and glorified in. the World War is to be looked up to as producing the modern ideals of the coming generation" said Dr. John Roach Straton, pastor of Calvary Baptist church, today, with regard to the assertion of William Morris Davis at Harvard commencement, that morals really belong more to the field of science than to the field of religion. "Prof.

Davis' whole argument seems to have been founded upon a series of false assumptions, For one thing, he assumes that science has brought great benefit to the world hut says nothing about the greater benefit that religion has brought. The fact of the matter is that tremendously strong case could be made out for the proposition that science lias not been a blessing but a curse to the world. "Take, for example, our boasted labor-saving appliances. The fact of the matter is that, despite all of the scientific appliances of and as I believe, because of them, men are working as they never worked before in the history of race. "Another argument of Prof.

Davis is that religion as he puts it, has "trespassed upon the proper field of science" -because religious leaders have preferred to hold on to God's revelation rather than to bow to human speculation.
