ORATOR STIRS AUDIENCE

DR. BREWSTER MAKES FORCEFUL ADDRESS FOR GREAT American mother. The campaign is on to enroll everybody as members of the sed Cross to help that organization carry on its peace time service. If those who were present at the Presbyterian church Sunday night had acted upon the inspiration received from the great lecture delivered by Dr. Brewster, of Cleveland, 0., they would want to make their subscription many times the amount of the membership fee. Dr. Brewster is a man of broad culture, having traveled extensively, and he is an orator of splendid ability. He had a great message and he delivered it with such power and force that his audience was moved

with emotion. He pictured vividly the awfulness of the great war, but said that we were fast forgetting the lessons that it taught us. . The point in his address was that there was as much need of the work of the Red Cross-now as there w»s during the war. , He talked plainly about the white plague and the awfulness of the transmissable diseases afflicting the American people and the need of ridding the country of these curses. This the Red Cross, orthe Great American Mother, proposed to do by |he work planned for its peace time program. This among other things will be done by the visiting nurses. He spoke of the large number of babies that died when very young and the high death rates caused entirely by transmissable and preventable diseases. He urged the people of Indiana to work for the enactment of a law in Indiana requiring a health certificate for all applicants for marriage licenses.
