Fisher discusses religious book
The need for the individual to “get his bearings” by relating his life to God was the theme stressed
Wednesday in the discussion of Douglas Steere’s “On Beginning from Within” by Dr. Willis W. Fisher, professor of Old Testament literature and archeology. Dr. Fisher’s lecture is the fourth in a series of book interpretaions sponsored by the university library, the faculty religious interests committee and the council of religion.
“Steere’s book is not one to be read hastily hut requires meditation,” said Dr. Fisher. “Though there are few excerpts from the bible, 130 different religious writers from every faith are quoted. I found Dr. Steere to be very broadminded. There is nothing at all narrow or denominational in the book.”
Dr. Fisher believes that people turn to religion in wartime because those who have never given it much thought suddenly find that life is no longer going on as usual. “They find themselves with no solid ground underfoot and have the desire to search for something substantial.
“Sociologists and psychologists will find this book more intellectual than most on the subject of religion, as Steere does not advocate withdrawing from life to seek God, but searching instead within the fabric of life itself.”
The fifth Interpretation In the summer series will be given next Wednesday at 2:15 p.m. in the art and lecture room of Doheny library when Dr. William G. Campbell, associate professor of education, is to discuss “The University and the Modern World,” by Arnold S. Nash.
LONDON, July 27 ll.Pi-^In tht most triumphant day of three y*ars of war on the Russo-German front, the massive might of the Red army today overwhelmed six great Naai bases along a blazing . 1000-mile front as history's greatest offensive crumbled the whole structure of German defenses in the east.
The great Nazi stronghold* of Lwow, Bialystok and Stainislawow fell to the oonquering Red armies on the central and southern front*, and at the same time, Soviet troops, achieving a sensational breakthrough in the Baltic states, took Daugavpils <Dvinsk) and Rezekne in Latvia and SiaUliai in Lithuania.
In the cluster of brilliant victories that spelled impending doom for the beaten and staggering Germans, the fall of Siauliai waa probably the most important. By seizing the city, Soviet troop* eut the Riga-Konigsberg and Riga-Kaunae railroads, severing th* main railroad escape routes to East Prussia for an estimated 30-odd German divisions to the north.
At the same time, Soviet tknka and cavalrymen, advancing 24 miles in 24 hours, reached within 31 miles southeast of Warsaw by the capture of Garvolin. Street fightirtg was reported at Siedlee, big rail junction 50 miles due east of tltt Polish capital. Moscow’s war bulletin announced.
