"MODERN MIND IS GREATEST FRAUD" SAYS DR. INGRAM

So Opines Famous Prelate in Speaking on "Why I Am a Christian"--Talks at Appleton Tomorrow and Monday.

"This modern mind is the greates fraud in the world," declared the. Right Reverend Arthur Fogey Winnington-Ingram, Bishop of London, in the short address which he delivered to 200 guests of the St. Paul's Society in the Phillips Brooks House last night. The British Bishop went on to say that he had known young men intimately for 40 years, and that they were confronted by the same problems and met them in the same way today as they did when he was an undergraduate.

The Lord Bishop's subject was, "Why am I a Christian?" He outlined briefly the various stages of uncertainty through which he had gone as a college man and averred that he fully believed in the saying that "Every man must be his own Columbus and find his continent of truth." He subsequently gave four reasons which combined to convince him that the world was turning inevitably more and more towards. Christianity. Recently one of England's most eminent financiers approached him with the conviction that the Anglican Church was the only faction in England that could repair conditions in the country.

The other supports for his conviction were based on the work which missionaries had done. He cites Ghandi's work in India, and the call that had been raised for church workers both in foreign lands and in the London Police Courts.

Owing to a burn on his arm which the Bishop received recently, he is still carrying the injured member in a sling and will be unable to engage in the golf and tennis matches which he had anticipated.
