Dr. Kirsopp Lake on
Changed Conception of God

hatween Heaven and Hell and the fi-
aality of the Last Judgment. They
deny the divine authority of the Reve-
lations and feel that no one can know
‘what follows after death. A’ new
(modern) conception of immortality,
which is growing in popularity, is also
philosophical in content. This is the
belief that death is loss of: individual-
ity and a fusion with the whole of
humanity.

The question of values aroused the
greatest interest in the discussion
which followed Dr. Lake’s brief in-
troductory remarks. The important
thing in Dr. Lake’s opinion, however,
is to attain, through careful thought,
‘a sense of values for the achievement
of right conduct. People were for-

“ merly forced to believe in a personal
God in order to have guidance in liv-
ing clean, straightforward lives. Dr.
Lake believes that a code of ethics
is gradually going to-supersede Chris-
tianity. Churches will continue to ex-



list only in so far as they encourage

‘meetings for the discussion of val-
‘ues. The new ethics will be built up
from observation and experiment, as

who, on one of her trips from Peiping
to Shanghai, finds herself on the same

train as Captain Harvey. Due to al

misunderstanding they had parted five
years béfore, ‘but nothing has been

to put out Harvey’s eyes, when

But she is saved from her sacrifice

his accusations that his love lacks

background for the posing of a fa-

“God is on speaking terms with every-
