I>r. Jiuutor B. ltlakely speukiug b"
for,- the Klwauia Club luiit Tbune
night mid. "That th?' world was going
to olwea uDletn Chtiatlau men
The speaker said. "That iu spite
nf mail's genius- In the mechanical
world and the potential plenty that
Mutated there was more suffering and
tiarvutlo'i In the world touight than
ever before In It a bin tor v. With all
the facilities of modern cominunica*
rlon sueh an tito. telegraph, telcphoue
and radio, which makes the world
closer together, we are actually farther
apart In brotherhood and unity.
The problem la, do we have enough
brains, character and conscience to
use these modern facilities to make
Hits world a better place to live?"
He continued by discussing the
ideals of deniocracw. True deniocra
cy is the Christian idea that not
only respects the individual rights
of every citizen but respects the
fact that all men are created by
God and that Jesus Christ died for
them, the founders- of the constitution
recognized that mnn was responsible
to a higher being than the
State. A good demorcratic citizen
does uot- llvy to himself but is interested
in education and everything
that stresses character building. He
also lias a Christian conviction. JDr.
Blakely said we were In grave danger
of losing these perspectives and
that no time in the history of the
world does Christian living seem so
important.
Dr. Blakely was introduced by
Rev. R. N. Baird, a former classmate
In college.

Humorous Story
' i
By WILL ROGERS
A NEW actor that don't get a
hand when he does his stuff is
probably' the prixe hard-luck guy.
He really feels terrible about it
I He may have only a auuril part, and
nobody knows that he wants a
hand. Then again, he may be the
whole show, and if he don't get
applause then, he's ruined.
And still, some actors get high|
hat at first. They got the idea that
[ the public don't know a good thing,
and that they must be. awful good,
because the public don't notice
them at all.
There waa a ham actor from a
mail town that had a try-out la
a Chicago raaderille house. Ho
did his W.
There was a woman from the
home town to so* the ham actor act.
She called on him the next
afternoon at his hotel, to WBirata*

you all the tfxnn. I thought you'd
