classes of people, as expressed in the
one word Fellowship" is the need
of the world today, and the solution
of all the unrest which is rending So
ciety in every civilized land on the
face Of the earth, was the theme of
an epoch-making address by Bishop
Frederick w. Keator of the Episco-
pal Diocese of Olympia at the fellow
ship supper given under the auspices
of the United Mems Club of the
United Churches at the Hotel Olym-
plan Sunday, at $50 p. m.
The supper was attended by about
100 men and women Of the various
churches of Olympic and was truly
an expression of a desire for fellow
ship among our citizens.
j. M. Tadlock. president of the
club, toastmaster, felicitated the peo-
pie of the city on the interest dis.
played in getting together on a pro-
gram for united effort to solve the
problems that beset our country.
Superintendent Breckner of the
Olympia schools, discussed the ques-
tion of moral instruction in our
schools. declaring that the method IT
accomplishing this work has not yet
been evolved to the satisfaction Of
school men, and that the endeavor to
secure more adequate methods is oc-
cupying the attention of the edu-
Gators at this time.
Chief Justice o. r. Holcomb said
that spiritual discipline in justice de-
apends upon approximating the truth.
Justice he said. cannot be had with
out exact truth. This the courts try
to arrive at. and in so far as they
approximate getting at the truth they
can render impartial justice.
Secretary of State J. Grant Hinkle
declared thot II every man truly lived
the teachings of Christ, that the
modern newspaper, with its chronicle
of crime, frailties and delinQuencies
of human beings would be thing of
the past. Church-building citizens he
said, also build up the morality of
the whole people, their influence
being felt in every stratum Of the So
cial fabric
! State Land Commissioner Savidge
told in a very eloquent manner of the
influence Of early home training ond
of the civilizing and Christianizing
influence of the school and the
church.
! P. M. Troy struck at the crux OF
the situation in his talk on the church
! as a public forum, in which he said
that thoseswho objected most to. the
efforts Of the churches were those
persons who were entirely ignorant
Of the church and its purposes. He
condemned intolerance. referring to
an address made in this same dining
room some few months ago which
preached the doctrine of the iron
heel, where class is arrayed against
class. He wanted the world to be-
lieve and practice Christian brother
hood in the solution of all its diff
culties.
Bishop Keator followed with a
brief discussion of unity Of spirit. He
commended particularly Mr.. Troy's
plea for brotherhood, only he called
it fellowship. The chaos Of the
world today resulted from lack OF
fellowship, and can only be cured by
the spirit of fellowship, among ma
tions and classes. In a like manner
the industrial differences can be
solved by fellowship among em-
ployer and employe.
