broadest humanitarians, the noblest
souls to give their best. Wanted, law
yers who can not only catch and con-
vict criminals but who can teach law
and order to the world.
"The sixth great call is to medicine,
to the study of the laws of God in
health and healing. The family doctor
is one of the noblest products Of civil
ization.
He is the friend and counsellor of
each and the guardian of public and
private health and well being. He
walks in the bright sunshine of life
and is the guard at the valley and
shadow Of death. He is the minute
man at the call of the rich and poor
alike. He holds the key Of morals and
the secrets of life and happiness.
No Room for Drones.
This life service calls for the best
OF men and women. No drones. dead
heads or soft-snap seekers need ap-
ply. Only one in about 10 serve in
this life calling. It will be life study,
q whole consecration, q noble service.
More than half the race is sick and
the loss in man power and wage values
will pay the race to invest it's best in
the physician, the hospital, the medical
school and the high calling of the train
ed nurse.
The seventh great appeal to bright
minds is journalism. The newspaper,
the magazine and the book are the
great moulders and directors of public
opinion. There are about 10000 daily
and weekly newspapers published in
the world that carry the bulk of the
thought Of 1000, 600 Of people in
the world Two thousand three hun
dred are published in the United States
and $4,000 more in the British realm
and in the English language.
English Language Loads,
More than 100000, 900 Of peonle
and in trade relations use |
the English language. The next Ian

1hghsh speaking newspaper calls to
world VIDE service and feeds and
grapples with the best brains of the
race Democracy. human justice and
ali the progress Of the race depends
upon the moulding Of the thought and
passionate feelings of men.
