LECTURES ON CHRISTIANITY Dr. John Andrew Holmes Pre sents Another View of Life at World Forum. BELIEVES IN LIVING LIFE TO THE FULLEST "Life in the very fullest for all is the true spirit of all Christianity," said Dr. John Andrew Holmes, pas tor of the First Plymouth Congrega tional church of Lincoln, in his dis cussion of the Christian view of life at the World Forum luncheon at the Grand Hotel Wednesday noon. Dr. Holmes did not present the views of any particular sect or dis cuss any one group or denomina tion within the Christian church, but told of the essence and spirit of the whole Christian movement and of the things which all Christians be- lieve. "Christianity does not try to put the brakes on life, to make existence here a lifeless preparation for the next world, but rather : it is the Christian spirit to step on the gas, always of course keeping a firm hand on the wheel," said Dr. Holmes, Want Full Development. "Fullness of development of body, mind, and soul, is the purpose of Christianity. We believe in calling into use all the powers of medicine which God has placed on earth in order to help the body." "But more important than the de velopment of the body is the devel opment of the mind and of the soul, said the speaker. He showed that almost all education has been foster ed by the church. The first univer sities were established by Christian churches and in our state universi ties most of the students are Chris tians. Soul Most Important. "Development of the soul is more important than development of either the body or the mind," Dr. Holmes continued. "Life on earth is only the foundation, the scaffold ing which reveals the greater life when it falls away at death. "The development of lifts is much like a cone. The tip represents life on earth. After death we go on devel oping, learning, and improving. Our soul broadens in all respects just as a cone becomes larger." The missionary movement was de fended by Dr. Holmes. He said that it was the very spirit of Christianity to want to tell all the rest of human ity of the satisfaction to be found in such a belief. He did not aprove of the idea of forcing a new religion or, a people or condemning them if they did not accept it. Dr. Holmes pointed to the aboli tion of the twelve-hour working day in the steel industry of the United States, which was a result of the re port of the Inter-Church World re port on conditions there as one of things which Christianity had ac complished recently. (Continued on Page Two.) The outstanding feature of the col lection is that it is intensely modern. All of the pictures have been execut ed by the younger group of American artists. The paintings are brilliant in coloring, and offer variations in subjects. The prize picture from the Chicago Art Institute, "The Recessional," by Eugene Savage, is included in the exhibition. Malcolm Parcell's "Por trait of My Mother," is also on dis play. This picture was awarded the N. W. Harris Bronze Medal and $300 prize. Professor P.- H. Grumman, Direct or of the School of Fine Arts, will give a gallery talk on the exhibition Sunday afternoon at 4 o'clock.
