NIEBDHR GIVES
THIRD LECTURE
Human Relations Discussed ;
Will Speak at Luncheon
This Noon
Three strategies in the relations of
people were brought out by Dr. Rein
hold Niebuhr, pastor of the Bethel
Evangelical church, Detroit, Mich.,
in an address Wednesday evening on
"The Strategy of Christian Love"
given at Social Sciences auditorium.
This was the speaker's third public
appearance during his three-day con
ference here, which is being spon
sored by the Inter-Religious Campus
council.
The three points stressed by Mr.
Niebuhr were fear of enemies, com
prise with enemies, and, finally, the
strategy of love. Each point was
fully discussed by him, the element
of religion being interspersed freely
in the discourse. The ultimate con
elusion in regard to human relations
according to the pastor, is the ad'
venture of overcoming evil with
good.
Due to unforseen developments,
Mr. Niebuhr will be required to leave
this afternoon as 4:50 o'clock for De
troit and as a consequence there will
be no evening lecture as previously
planned. A luncheon has been ar
ranged in its place this noon at the
Grand hotel at which time he will
speak on "Religious Imagination and
Intelligence."

This is the Farmers' Fair issue and

iustrated, the cost for cuts being
more than double that of any issue
during year. This is the first time
that a full page cut has been used
for the cover page. It is a picture
of last year's pageant.
The Farmers' Fair number of the
Countryman is taking the place of
the Farmers' Guide Book this year.
For this reason the Fanners' Fair
Board has ordered four hundred ex
tra copies. Students are also urged
to buy extra copies to send tq their
friends whom they think might be
interested in the Fair.

Finding Yourself" was the topic
of Dr. Niebuhr's address for Univer-'are

given in the Social Sciences auditor-
i. The hall was well filled for the
talk.
Dr. Niebuhr stated that one of theiarouse the "etipirt de corps, the spirit

bility. When one is first facing the
problems of life, many fields are op-jof the department of German lan
en, any one of which the individual guage, who is president of the as

and the decisions made in this selec

Says Greeks Were Moderate
The speaker pointed out that the
type of person who adopts the policy
of moderation. This was the basis
of the Greeks' personality. He de
clared that many people who follow
this philosophy claim to be Chris
tians, but are in reality Greeks. The
fallacy of thinking that knowledge
of any phenomona removes the dan
ger therefrom was shown. All per
sons organize their lives around some
definite thing, and this organization
premeditated or not is of vital im-
iate pleasure, while others plan for
ultimate satisfaction. While there
are some exceptions, those who plan
for ultimate satisfaction profit best.
