1967 CONVENTION AT STANFORD UNIVERSITY
"A Christian Approach to Human Personality: A Psychological and Biological Discussion" will be the theme of the twenty-second annual conference of the American
Scientific Affiliation. For the first time, an annual conference will be held on
the campus of Stanford University, near Palo Alto, California on San Francisco Bay.
The dates are: Monday, 28 August through Thursday, 31 August.
Names like Paul Barkman, Eugene Walker, Alan Tippet and Lee Edward Travis bristle
from the tentative program as well as topics such as Models of Personality, Religious Conversion, Psychology and Religion and Religious Expression and Experience.
The Psychology and Biological Science Questions, under the leadership of Dr. Paul
Barkman, are planning the program. Dr. Richard Bube is in charge of arrangements
and he is assisted by Kenneth A. Lincoln, 2016 Stockbridge Ave., Redwood City,
California. Be sure your reservations are in his hands by 15 July if you want to
be assured of housing on the campus.
PALESTINE MEETING UNCERTAIN
The possibility of a joint ASA and Evangelical Theological Society meeting in
Palestine has been kicking around for some time. Dr. G. Douglas Young, Director of
the Institute of Biblical Studies, Jerusalem, member of both ASA and ETS, would be
sure to make such a trip very meaningful and interesting.
The unsettled condition of the Middle East has thrown a large question mark over
these plans, although by the summer of 1968, the proposed date of such a trip,
stability may be restored. Dr. H. Harold Hartzler, Executive Secretary of the ASA,
suggests that plans for attending should be continued for the time being. Those
interested in participating in such a trip-with-a-purpose should communicate with
Dr. Hartzler.
TENTMAKER MISSIONARY IN SITU
Ray Carlson is a Chemical Engineer who took a job in Sweden for the specific purpose of a Christian witness and ministry in that country. To see how things are
going after five years, F. Alton-Everest dropped in to see Ray on a recent trip to
Europe and Scandinavia for Moody films. Ray is active in the use of films for
specific evangelistic purposes and is the representative for Ken Anderson Films.
He hopes eventually to establish in Europe a film production center where films by
Europeans and for Europeans will be made.
He points out that secularization in Sweden is probably 10 years ahead of similar
trends in the United States. He feels that the average standard of living in
Sweden is probably higher than that in the U. S. because there are practically no
destitute persons. Although nearly everyone belongs to a church (state or otherwise) less than 1% of the population of Stockholm will be in church on any given
Sunday morning. He also feels that many of the social programs are the direct outgrowth of the Christian compassion of a very sizable number of earnest Christian
members of the Riksdag (Parliament). He is finding many ways of serving as a
"tentmaker" (self-supporting) missionary.
NEW ENGLAND
Dr. Charles E. Hummel, President of Barrington College, spoke at the March 16 meeting of the New England Section of the ASA held at Gordon College. Close to 50
attended and entered into a lively discussion following the address. Dr. Marlin
Kreider is scheduled as the speaker at the June meeting of this section.
GORDON HEARS ANDERSON
Dr. V. Elving Anderson was the guest lecturer at the Natural Science Division Conference held 28 March 1967 at Gordon College. Dr. Anderson's topic was "The Control of Man's Genetic Future." Former President of the ASA, Dr. Anderson is
Professor of Genetics at the University of Minnesota and Assistant Director of the
Dight Institute of Human Genetics. He is also President of the Academy Conference
of the AAAS. After the address questions were answered by a panel consisting of
Dr. Anderson, Dr. John W. Haas, Jr., Dr. H. Omar Olney and Dr. Richard T. Wright.
After the organiz - ed meeting, a group met at Dr. Wright's home which included Dr.
Anderson, Marlin Kreider, John Osepchuk. Jack Haas. Omar Olney, Wilbur Bullock and
his son Bob (graduate student at University of Maine), Dave Stewart (graduate stu
dent at University of New Hampshire).
SUTHERLAND "THROTTLES BACK"
Dr. Brian P. Sutherland has, for a long time, been an important officer in the
Stratospheric Managerial level of Consolidated Mining and Smelting Co. of Canada,
Ltd. When that day arrived, he retired; He now finds that time does not hand
heavy on his hands, particularly, because of:
1) Parkinson's First Law (work expands to fill time available).
-
2) Editing a church magazine; this means he had to learn to type. (I
don't see why, this editor never did!)
3) Enrolling as a student at London Bible College in courses which may
eventually lead to a B. D. from London University. (Shouldn't this
qualify him for the student membership rate, Harold?)
Before leaving Montreal, Brian was active with the Sermons From Science pavilion
project for Expo '67. He will be at the Stanford meeting! (D. V.)
ASA LIBRARY ACQUISITIONS
The WHAT library? Yes, dear children, the ASA has the distinction of having the
least-used library in the world and Dr. Russell L. Mixter of Wheaton College, the
'least-used librarian', would like to change all that. Here are some of the recent
acquisitions:
If Adam Had Not Died, Doorway Paper #52 by Arthur C. Custance.
It was absolutely necessary for ADAM to be created physically immortal,
otherwise redemption was not possible. (Russ, are these comments yours?)
Faith Healing, edited by Vincent Edmunds and C. Gordon Scorer.
Religion, Origins and Ideas, by Robert Brow.
Varieties of religions, how they originated and their ideas of meaning,
life after death, ethics and religious experience leading to existential
decision.
Give Me This Mountain, autobiography of Helen Roseveare. The leading and preparation of a medical missionary who went through the
Congo rebellion.
Faith and Thought, Summer 1966
Morality and Society Today, 0. R. Johnston
The Concept of Authority, H. D. McDonald
Man-His Origin, His Nature and His God, Brian Mawhinney
Men Made New, John R. W. Stott
Exposition of Romans 5-8.
All of these and many other books are available by writing to Dr. Mixter, Wheaton
College, Wheaton, Illinois.
McALLISTER THE STAR-GAZER
Robert D. McAllister, an ardent amateur astronomer, aimed his 20-year-old 6" telescope at setting Venus and shot superimposed exposures at 15-second intervals. He
did the same thing on the setting moon at 30-second intervals. The unusual results
were published in the newspaper, The Province, I April 1967 along with a feature
article on Bob covering a third of the page. Bob is always sharing his delight in
the heavens with others through lectures to clubs, schools, etc.
An engineer with Cominco in Trail, B. C., Bob has been plagued with "diabetic
retinopathy" and recently changed to a less demanding job, supervising a group
training plant operators in the use of instruments in process control.
EXECUTIVE COUNCIL MEETING
On 31 March and I April the Executive Council met at Wheaton, Illinois. Those
present were Drs. Wayne Ault. Richard Bube, Robert Fischer,,Virgil Freed and Charles
Hatfield as Council members and Drs. Harold Hartzler and Russell Mixter as Executive
Secretary and Editor, respectively. To put down rumors that nothing happens at
these meetings except argue about Robert's (Fischer) Rules of Order, here are a
few excerpts (expurgated) from the minutes:
--Dr. Hatfield welcomed to Council.
--Decision that the 1968 convention be the responsibility of ALL the
Commissions. (This will be interesting to watch!)
--That a serious attempt would be made to have copies of all papers
available for distribution at Stanford.
--Membership is now 1568 (121 fellows, 1207 regular, 240 assoc.)
--Student sections deemed responsibility of local sections to encourage
and to supervise.
--Southern California, New England and North Central sections among
those reporting activities fully. Others should do so also. (Metro
N. Y. also? They send a ream for each meeting!)
--A question and answer column might be a part of JASA. You supply
the questions, Russ will dig up someone with an answer.
--Extra copies of the Journal are available IN ADVANCE ORDER at 50("
each or $2 per volume; otherwise old rate prevails; 1962 or older at
75(,,/copy or $2/Volume; 1963 to date, $1.25/copy or $5/volume.
EXPO 67
Dr. George E. Speake, somewhat dazed at the tremendous popularity of his Sermons
From Science presentations and Moody film showings at Expo 67, states that the numbers entering the
counseling room after the auditorium presentations far exceed
other fairs. At Seattle in 1961, an average of about 5% sought further guidance
concerning the claims of Christ on their lives. During 1964-65 in New York, this
average rose to about 10%. During the first month at Montreal, about 35% have
entered the counseling room, completely swamping the counselors and the facilities.
The French Catholic segment of population represent a sizable portion of these.
George states that capacity crowds are the order of the day.
FEDERATION FEEDBACK
Gordon Mills reports that the Federation Christian Fellowship meeting in Chicago
was a great success. There were at least 40 in attendance, of which only about 15
were ASA members (Wow! Where is the membership committee?) John Alexander, General
Director of IVCF brought a challenging message to the group.
For those going to other conventions, some information may be helpful. The meeting
is listed in the convention program and hotel arrangements are made by the convention
management. About half the attendance each year are those who have not previously
attended which would indicate that the program listing is most important. of course,
this is always augmented by a bulletin-board announcement.
The arrangement committee for next year: Dr. Herman DeHaas, Chairman, and Dr.
Robert Herrmann, Vice-Chairman. ASA members present this year included Gordon Mills,
Herman DeHaas, Wait Hearn, Kurt Weiss, Frank Sreter, Harold Petering, Kermit Ratzlaff, William Seip, Eugene Morris, Wendell Woods, Merton Pubols, Ian Tinsley, Joe
Brain and Jim Nordstrom. Did we miss any?
BEAVER HOLDS INSTITUTES
Dr. Arthur C. Breyer, Chairman, Dept. of Chemistry
aud Physics. Reaver College,
Glenside, Pa., announces that NSF Institutes for high school teachers have been
approved for 1966-67, 1967-68 and 1968-69 and that they would like very much to receive applications from teachers who are ASA members. They will be able to take
3 to 5 undergraduate college chemistry majors. A brochure describing the program
and entrance requirements may be obtained by writing Dr. Breyer.
ZYGON
This is the name of the new Journal of Religion and Science being published quarterly
by the Institute on Religion in an Age of Science and the Meadville Technological
School of Lombard College at the University of Chicago. Inquiries should be addressed to University of Chicago Press, 5750 Ellis Ave., Chicago, Ill. 60637. Subscription price for the quarterly is $8 per year. Some of this material will curl
your hair, but, perhaps, we should know what is going on.
MAATMAN MAKES THE BANNER
Dr. Russell Maatman had a good article on "Science and the Christian Faith" in the
7 April 1967 issue of THE BANNER, official organ of the Christian Reformed Church.
Russ is professor of Chemistry and chairman of the division of natural science at
Dordt College, Sioux Center, Iowa. An example of his bridge-building approach:
"Must we always dispute about things that God has given us? If he gave
us both science and the Scripture, can we not enjoy both? We can see
both as evidences of God's love--provided we have the proper attitude
toward them..If we probe deeply into God's Word to resolve the problems
mentioned, then the Scripture-believing church will have developed a rich
understanding of creation and believers will have one more way in which
they can understand God's love. Another result may be that those who love
Scripture, and are fearful of science and scientists, may become those who
appreciate what science achieves.
"The scientist who is a Christian has a certain advantage. To illustrate,
let us consider the occupation of mountain-climbing. The mountain-climber
explores places where others cannot go. Frequently he can view a panorama,
seeing magnificent things that others cannot see. In a very special way
he can appreciate some things God has done which he cannot fully communicate to others who do not climb mountains. There is no substitute for
viewing the panorama in person." (Submitted by Walt Hearn)
MISSIONARY SYMBIOTES
That is what William K. Ghrist, M. D. calls his relationship with the ASA. He is a
student of symbiosis and parasites and is finding plenty of experimental material;
he discovered both hookworm and roundworm in one of his three sons recently. The
ASA is proud of its members who are serving on the foreign mission field and we
feel that carrying their membership dues while away is part of the privilege of
being one of the symbiotic partners.
Dr. Ghrist is located at Mwingi, 110 miles from Nairobi, not far from Mt. Kenya
whose snow-capped peak they can see the year around. Their Mukamba tribe is of
rather delicate physique with myriads of tropical diseases from Kwashiorkor and
Trachoma and from Red Cobra bites to poisoned arrows. He is administrator of a
50-bed hospital and one of only 4 ophthalmologists in all of Kenya. They have a
modern eye clinic and are eagerly awaiting a mobile eye hospital on its way from
America. He asks prayer support in his relearning of general medicine and in boldness and clarity in presenting the gospel to these simple friendly folk.
Word comes from another symbiote, Dale Foster, M. D. who is now in Anaheim, California, planning to return to Cameroun in the fall. There are insurmountable
(humanly speaking) difficulties as the Sakbayeme hospital has been operated without
a missionary doctor for some time and is very run down and understaffed because of
financial shortage. He needs $50,000 to replenish the pharmacy, rebuild the staff,
pay off a $20,000 debt and to repair or replace worn-out equipment. The United
Presbyterian Commission has no funds for this project as all hospitals are supposed
to be on a 'self-supporting' basis. Referring to the problems, Dr. Foster says, "We
accept them as a challenge rather than a source of discouragement. We thank God
for the privilege of serving Him in Cameroun."
WALT'S SEMINAR
Dr. Walter R. Hearn looked around at the new graduate students under his charge
last winter and decided to introduce some of the broader aspects of science through
the medium of a seminar. Dragging in spiritual or philosophical matters, he feels,
is quite out of order in many science courses. The seminar, however, is the ideal
situation for these important things. His seminar had an outline that ran something
like this, week by week:
A SCIENTIFIC CAREER: IT'S PROBLEMS, RESPONSIBILITIES AND REWARDS
Personal aspects of a scientific career.
Departmental aspects of a scientific career.
Professional aspects of a scientific career.
Social aspects of a scientific career.
Political aspects of a scientific career.
Philosophical aspects of a scientific career.
Spiritual aspects of a scientific career.
Walt points out that the "Free University" or "Shadow University" movement shows
that students want more than the usual content of science courses, but the proper
format, especially in technical schools, needs to be developed. Walt and Ginny are
experimenting with seminars in their homes. He has also been asked to organize
such a seminar for undergraduates in the Iowa State University Honors Program on
essentially the same subject, "Science and Society."
WHAT THE BRITISH ARE DOING
While it is not expected that many ASA members will attend, we are happy to announce
that the Research Scientists' Christian Fellowship will hold their fall conference
on 23 September at the Central YMCA, London. It will be a one-day affair and the
subject this year is Natural Theology Today. Papers will be given as follows,
"The Biblical View of Natural Theology" by an Oxford group; "History-Pre and
Post Reformation" by a Cambridge group; "The New Theology" by a Leeds group; "Teilhard
de Chardin" by a Bristol group.
Don't forget your 12 shillings if you do go!
WHERE 20 YOU STAND THEOLOGICALLY?
A. James Wagner is in the Extended Forecast Division of the U. S. Weather Bureau.
Of course he is interested in what trends are developing in regard to weather.
From a recent letter, it would appear that Jim in interested in other trends as
well, such as theological beliefs. We agree with him that the ASA members may have
a lot of fun classifying themselves on the theological totem pole by taking this
little quiz which was devised by Dr. William Hordern, Professor of Systematic
Theology at Garrett Theological Seminary, Chicago. In all fairness to the professor, we must acknowledge that he does not feel it is very scientific, but a
test that is fun to take which does serve a useful purpose.
INSTRUCTIONS: If you agree with a statement, circle I or 2.
If you disagree with a statement, circle 3 or 4.
If you are undecided, circle 5. Do your best to decide.
1. 1 believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of Heaven and earth. 2 3 5
2. Man can hope for and expect to build a progressively more righteous
society upon earth. 1 4 5
3. Writings such as those of Plato, Aristotle, Mohammed and Confucius
are inspired in a manner similar to the inspiration of the Bible. 1 4 5
4. The Miracle stories as told in the Bible prove the truth of Christian
revelation. 2 3 5
5. A religious belief should not be accepted if it cannot be proved or
rendered highly likely by reason and experience. 1 4
6. There is a personal life after death. 2 3

8. Jesus was born of a virgin. 2 3 5
9. Hell is a form of personal existence in a future life. 2 3 5
10. Man's life is incomplete if he does not have a vital relationship

14. Man's basic problems can be solved by education and sciences without
theological beliefs. 2 3 5
15. Man is ultimately responsible to God. 2 3 5
16. If the Bible and science disagree on any specific point, science must
be accepted rather than the Bible. 1 4 5
17. The Bible story of creation is a "myth" and therefore cannot provide a
scientific hypothesis about the origin of man and the world. 1 4 5
18. Belief or disbelief in doctrines are of little or no importance in a
mants religious life. 1 4 5
19. 1 have a duty to help in spreading my religious faith to peoples and
cultures that have not heard about it and/or have not accepted it. 2 3 5
20. Attendance at worship services is of vital importance in one's
religious life. 2 3 5
21. In prayer one does not speak nor listen to God, but comes to a new
self-understanding. 1 4 5
22. It is more important to build a just society and to develop ethical
living upon earth than it is to prepare men for heaven. 1 4 5
23. The "Kingdon of God" has meaning only when it is understood as the
ideal or perfect society which can be built upon this earth by the
activity of men. 1 4 5
24. Without the death of Christ, man's salvation would be impossible. 2 3 5
25. In Jesus Christ, God took on a human form and lived a human life. 2 3 5
A. How many 2's and 4's are circled?
C. How many l's and 3's are circled?
The total in E is your score. Each question counts only I point, whether
the number circled is 1, 2, 3, or 4. The 5's do not add to the score, but
anyone having a total of 7 or 8 5's is probably too undecided to fit into
any theological classification.
Categories necessarily overlap somewhat. If your score is 76, you may not
be sure whether you are a conservative Liberal, a liberal Orthodox or a
Neo-Orthodox, but you will get an idea where you fall in the theological
spectrum.

Johnson urged Christians to apply for positions at the new Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton. Dr. Tan recently co-authored a paper in Journal of Environmental Health (Vol 29 No. 3); "Isolation and Purification of Enterotoxin A By Polyacrylamide Gel Electrophoresis."
J. F. Whiteley-Wilkin has been in England for some time attending to family affairs
following the death of his mother. During that time he has been admitted to the
Catholic Cathedral of the Good Shepherd, London. This was done to further his
work in the field of church unity and is therefore without specific jurisdiction.
David K. Winter has returned from 15 months in West Pakistan doing research on the
cross-cultural relations of American and Pakastani professors teaching together

position as Assistant Professor in Justin Morrill College, a new experimental liberal arts college, a part of Michigan State University. He teaches anthropology and
directs overseas study program for the college. They have about 150 students overseas each year.
