IN. A,tru;sm Of the Day.

We are living in an altruistic age.
IT has also been an age of great for
tunes The span of a lifetime has
been enough to permit thousands of
\ men to acquire vast fortunes SO great
and so unwieldy that the spending of
them in the ordinary selfish channels
is entirely beyond the bounds of the
human ability. Such fortunes as
have been accumulated by our great
masters of finance cannot be spent by
those who founded them, or by the
generation which Immediately follows.
The disposition of this great wealth
has come to be business in itself and
in some cases men are giving as freely
of their remarkable ability, as unset
fisllly of their resources and as con-
stantly of their time in distributing
their fortunes in useful channels. as
they did in accommodating them. As a
result churches and educational in

would have been hailed throughout the
world as an epoch making event. The
accumulation of great fortunes began
only short time ago and philanthropy

Rockefeller gifts and the Kennedy be-

If the altruism of this century was
confined to monetary gifts alone, the
record would be incomplete. The
generations which have inhabited the

failed to discharge their debt to those
who have gone before and failed to

generation in that city: a south end
