Dr. Calisch, said In part
Man is born with certain instincts
which must find their outlet in certain
avenues and methods of conduct. Some
Of these instincts are higher and noblor

expression I'm the various religious doc
trnes and practices. Comes then the
social instinct which bids us seek our
fellowmen and i'm congenial companion
