Van Dusen Delivers
Sunday Chapel Talk
"Can We Believe that. Gad i c Lova?"
was the .theme of Heni•y Pitney Van
Dusen's chapel address in Schwab au
ditorium Sunday morning.
!!Christianity reaches its climax. in
the belief of God and that the ulti
mate reality is to be thought of in
terms of love, truth, and righteous.
ness. We have lost this . Conception
today because we have tried to cut
short the pathways to, reality and
have failed ,to' admit. the laws of the
universe," the speaker maintained.
It is iinposaible to know. God if We
don't know our 'fellowmen, said Van
Dusen. If we don't know our broth
ers, whom we can see, then any wor
ship we profess towards God, whom
We can't see, is insincere, he pointed
out. We must forgive the offenses of
our. fellowmen if we want God to for
giye us, said the-speaker.
"Our 'human relationships must be
straightened out before we try to'wor
ship God. • Since Cod's concern is to
ward our fellowmen we must love
them and then we can come to the
love . of a God and the positive .path
way to a conception of Christianity,"
he concluded..
