KELLY DISAPPROVES BIGOTED PATRIOTISM

Earlham President Asks the Schools to Develop World Citizens First.

President Robert L. Kelly of Earlham college, addressed the Methodist Ministerial association of Infiianapolis, on "The New Neighborliness," yesterday.

He said the need of the new neighborliness, which is not new, except that it has never been put into practice, is greater than ever before. The school and the church are the two great forces for putting this into practice, he said. "The Kaiser has shown that he is for an education that will make Germans Germans as against all the earth. AVhat we want, to develop in our schools and churches is not to make us American under all circumstances stand for America, whether right or wrong, but we wish to make world citizens with the spirit of Jesus Christ who came not to save Germans or Americans, but to save the sons of men without regard to race or color."

Some Examples of a G004 Time. 4. AVhat Constitutes a Good Time. The speakers will follow this outline as closely as time permtis, but in some of the shops the time allowed for speaking is only about ten minutes, and it is necessary to handle the subject very briefly. Rev. E. G. Howard, pastor of the First English Lutheran church, conducted the meeting at the Reliance Foundry today, and handled the subject in a broad way, dwelling mainly on the first two points in the outline.
