pastor, Rev. j. r. Lawrence, assisted
by Rev. r. II. Bosworth, who intro
duced the speaker of the day. Prof.
Thomas announced his text from Luke
1919, "There was a certain rich
man. He drew strong lessons from
the story of Lazarus and impressed the
fact of the impossibility of life being
just right or happy if isolated and per-
menently Indifferent to the welfare of
the world.
Education, he said, is process
which should contemplate the whole
man and the whole life. 1t is not
enough to be a successful lawyer or
doctor or man of business; one should
also know the fine art of being a good
neighbor.
The danger today is that we Shall
isolate ourselves and absolve ourselves
from responsibility, but no man iveth
unto himself alone 1t is the duty of
all citizens to get acquainted with the
wants of community, to identify
themselves with its needs. An intelli-
gent attitude should be assumed toward
the work of the world.
The speakers final thought and
charge to the students were in the
words of Paul to the Philippians.
Whatsoever things are true, whatso-
ever things are just, whatsoever things
are pure, whatsoever things are lovely,
whatsoever things are of good report,
think on these things"

caused by arrangement Of the female
organism. While this appears to be the
same a. ordinary indigestion it can be
relieved only by = medicine which, be-
sides acting as stomach tonic, is good
for female ailments. Read what such
medicine did for Mrs. Williams -
