"Higher criticism moves on a plane above deiiominationalism, - ' said Dr. Lhamon. and in a breath, he attacked "Fordism” with: "Can we find messages in our Bible for a nation smitten with Fordism? In attacking the newspapers he said: "We must send men to the pulpits that are daring enough to outthunder the wet metropolitan press on the prohibition question. Men who are ready to be cussed, not disappointed when they are cussed by masters of cussedness.” He named the Chicago Tribune as one of the delinquent” papers of the nation.

; newspaper stories of discussions of religious and biblical questions. "William Jennings Bryan is dead," he asserted, "let Fosdick go marching on. We need a teaching that will put the Golden Rule in the Standard Oil Company and United ‘ States Steel.” "Higher criticism of religion has destroyed a brood of isms—it has been blessedly destructive and blessedly constructive. Modern man has not lost his message but tl 're’s no hope against ultra-criticism Urn the pulpiteer who rails at them, the newspaper editor who throws inkwells at them. Brains must answer brains,” Dr. Lahmon said. Biblical criticism is marching along with other sciences. ‘‘The Bible cannot escape the modern mind it must go to the crucible,” Dr. Lahmon declared.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

Thursday, was so graphic that twen-ty-five Indianapolis business men and women dug into their pockets on the spot and laid down $9,640 for the Leonarrd Wood memorial fund to eradicate leprosy. Mrs. Wade is the wife of Dr. H. Windsor Wade, who is in charge of the leper colony. She has been in America a year aiding the $2,000,000 Leonard Wood leprosy eradication fund. She told the business men and women how the colony was established on the island—‘‘a city of unburied dead.” ‘‘Bare, with little nipa, or thatched shacks, without the very commonest kinds of comforts, the men, women and children sent to the island knew it was a living death, never would they leave. “The late Leonard Wood, gover-

nor-general of the Philippines, visited Culion and went away with the unshakable belief that something must be done to alleviate the conditions of the poor forsaken lepers. “Then came the discovery in India that chalmoogra oil was curing leprosy. Wood appeared before the Filipino congress and asked that an appropriation be made to try chalmoogra on Culion. “A $25,000 appropriation was made and one American doctor, six native assistants and seven trained nurses, with two drums of Chalmoogra on, went to Culion. “No bulletins were sent back, but three years later the coast guard vessel carried back to Manika 440 men, women and children who had been cured—definitely cured —of the

disease and were ready to begin life j anew. But there was not enough money to continue the work among the 6,000 lepers on the island. Mrs. Wade said. It is not the leprosy that the I yhysicians must contend with but i malnutrition and insanitary living conditions. Indianapolis’ quota is $25,000. Frank Stalnaker, Indiana National Bank president, heads the local i committee: Those who heard Mrs. Wade and i then gave were: J. K. Lilly Sr., $5,000: Edward A. Kahn. 81,000: Mr. and Mrs. Frank D. Stalnaker. S500; Arthur Baxter, $500: Arthur V. Brown, $250; Nicholas Noyes, $250; Eli Lilly. $500: A. M. Glossbenner, $100; Elmert Stout. $200; William J. i Hogan. $100; Louis E. Lathrop,
