OF KlWANIS CLUB

DR.. Geo. Elliot Of Detroit, who has.
been giving a course Of lectures at, the
Wesley college summer school tor
ministers. was the principal speaker
at the>{fiwanis luncheon today. His
address was a forceful presentation
OF new CONCEPTIONS of human values.
He spoke Of the physical standards OF
manhood which had prevailed in
primitive society. of the standards Of
intellect of wealth, and Of other setu-
lar standards. Recognizing the part
that all these things play In human
life, the speaker said that they were
all Inadequate. and that the real stand
ard is that Of service, a standard by
which oil men .aust Sbe measured.
The world, She said, is witnessing a
conflict between two forces, that of
reaction and that Of revolution, and
he believed the tendency in either di-
rection to be equally injurious. What
IL needed, he said, is the development
among all those engaged in industry
Of every kind, not OF the CONNER
cial, but Of the professional spirit,
which gives first consideration to the
service which the individual can give
to his fellows.
District Governor Pollock of Far
go, was a guest at the luncheon, his
visit here being to complete arrange
