DR.. Fisher asked DR.. Cornwell if he
. knew DR.. Bradford, one of the ma
TONS famous Chautauqua lecturers.
On being informed by DR.. CornWell
that he did personally know DR.. Brad
ford, Dr. Fisher confided that his in
spiration in life was gained directly
from an address which DR.. Bradford
had delivered number of years ago

of his station. This is one of the in
