consciously to human needs the situation is potentially hopeful aldous huxley noted author gave these views on the next step in religion in the second of this year's concert-lecture ser ies before a large crowd in the broughal high school auditorium friday evening mr huxley however stated that the actual state of religion today is not hopeful due to its struggling within itself in such measures as nationalistic idolatry too much stress is being placed today in sacramentalism rather than spi ritual exercise which is causing a degeneration of religion three great dangers the three greatest dangers threatening the modern world dangers about which the state and private individuals are doing little or nothing are increases of in sanity mal-ad justed economy and war stated huxley organized groups should plan a psychiatry an economy and a policy of non violence mr huxley declared that our next step in religion must start with an effort of understanding and knowledge formulation of a philosophy compatible with sci ence formulation of a metaphysic in accord with that philosophy examination of methods by which religions have trained their fol lowers to put ethical principles into practice and an application of these methods in a conscious deliberate scientific way he continued by encouraging the building up of a social appar atus whereby these methods could be applied in the best possible manner on the plane of the indi vidual the group and the society at large must find philosophy we should discover a philoso phy that should be pervious to science that will accept the

premely valuable and significant the fundamental ethical vir tues that huxley stressed were love and understanding these are the primary virtues which must be used as a basis for sec ondary virtues such as prudence truth and chastity he said that the secondary virtues are used in dictatorships but they are used in no relation to love and under standing this according to hux ley is one of the most distressing points in our progress such dictatorships were formed the greatest of these — hy pocrisy a story on the subsidiza tion of collegiate football by george daly sports editor of the new
