DR.. Fisher in his scheduled address
on Individual Power, speaking OF
the call of the age to the older boy,
averred that every age. in its em-
phasis, affects the thought of that
age. He said that the last part of the
19th century had been pre-eminently
scientific, with its discovery of germs
and the consequently new field for
medical research-bicvcles, telephones
monographs. automobiles and aero
planes. He pictured the growth from
the tool to the wood, brick, iron ana
steel ingredients, to the factory and
from the factory. TO the city spring
up about. With the inrush Of immi-
a night and a day. Or. Fisher spoke
of the radical changing of relation
ship and ideas. if not ideals.

eessitated the rapping at the doors of
other countries with request for
aid" he said. We've been thrown to-
gether so quickly that we are not
ready for things-not ready for broth
erhood and, therefore, not ready to
govern our towns, cities or nations.
The churches place is to teach or in
still this brotherhood He went on

community relationships. which, sim

that Maver Shank of indianapolis is
attempting when he buys household
necessities in great lots and furnishes
them 10 the people at wholesale prices.
That is that's the practical bodily
side OF it but VIC can figure the spirit
nal part along the same lines He
defined the great calls of tile day as
the eall to be brotherly, the call that
we be Christian and the cali tor a
huuani2ing of our relationships
