"Religion is essentially a series of experimentations to help man ] live, to help lilm in Ills relations ! with his fellows and to his uni- j verse. The unfortunate thing I about the development of western j religion was that the experimental I method.of Greeks and Hebrews was ! abandoned by the Christian theolo- j gians for a dogmatic and mystical j interpretation.”
As expressing his personal understanding, Dr. Boodin said, "all we know about God is from our human experience in trying to understand Him from the highest human categories w>e know. I have to think of God as the essence of all the highest human activities that 1 know.”

Culbertson's Bridge Lead Cut By Lenz
NEW YORK, Jan. 5—(IP) — Sidney Lenz and Commander Winfield Liggett, Jr., fighting for the honor of the new official system of contract bridge bidding, continued tonight to pare down the lead established by Ely Culbertson and his various partners in the Cul-bertson-Leiiz match.
But for all their earnest endeavors, it still looked as though the Culbertsons will conclude the match this week with a substantial lead. At the end of the 137th rubber—the eighth and last of the evening—the Culbertson lead stood at 14,175, a gain of 2,660 points for Lenz.
Culbertson played tonight's session with Michael T. Gottlieb.
At one time during the evening Lenz and Liggett had lowered the Culbertson lead to 13,775 points.

Pragmatic or humanistic logic, unlike the old logic, recognizes the value of psychology in contributing to the knowledge of lhe thinking processes, said Dr. Searleg.
N.S.F.A. Urges Faculty Control Of Publications
Strict administrative control of university publications and abolition of razz sheets that ‘do more harm than good” was recommended by the National Students’ Federation of America at its annual convention in Toledo last week.
Lewis Gough, assistant secretary of the S.C. Alumni association, and Francis Bushard, student body president, made that report when they returned from the session yesterday morning. They were In Toledo from Dec. 27 to Jan. 1.
BOMBAY, Jan. S.—(UP)—Police today arrested virtually all of the National cmngress leaders who have been at liberty since the Mahatma Gandhi and other prominent independence workers wero imprisoned on Sunday.
The round-up of leaders was begun within a few hours after the congress had completed preparations to resume the campaign of civil disobedience* against the British rule.
A new dash at Benares in w hich one person was killed after police liad been attacked by demonstrators and tired on the crowd, spurred the authorities in completing the seizure of Independence leaders.
Vithalbhal Patel, former president of the Indian assembly, president of the Bombay congress AM Tll/fl HAV TDID Na|lman, and the Influential Na-UlN I WU-uAl 1 i\ll ! glndas, who was outstanding ln-i dependence leader in the congress as far hack as 1921, were among those arrested.
The president and all officers* of the Bombay provincial congress committee and lhe officers of ward committees throughout the city were anegted in a gerioa of raids conducted by police.
Tha Bombay raids came just after the leaders had completed appointment of 300 congress "war councils.” Three men w ere named to each council and all were Instructed to assumo authority as soon as the preceding council council was arrested. The leaders contended that, even if one council was arrested each day, tlie re would be enough leaders to continue the campaign for 10 months.
The congress was far from completely successful, however, in its efforts to press the civil disobedience movement. The scheduled Hartal (cessation of w’ork) in protest against the arrest of Gandhi was by no means complete, and Moslems were threatening reprisals if tbe Hindus attempt to picket their liquor or foreign goods shops.
