Use of Alcohol Condemned By Psychiatrist Tillotson In Lecture on Christianity

NO WRITER ATTRIBUTED

Condemning the use of alcohol as a means of escaping from life's problems, Dr. Kenneth J. Tillotson, instructor of Psychiatry at the Medical school, addressed an audience of 150 last night in Emerson D. His lecture, which was the third of the current series on the Outlines of Christianity, was entitled "The Psychology of Christian Worship."

Calling beliefs the "tools of life," Tillotson declared that they did for one's emotional being what exercise did for one's body. He strongly disapproved of alcohol, tobacco and polygamy as emotional outlets; he recommended prayer in their place.

A large part of the audience, many of whom were women remained after the lecture, and for twenty minutes questioned Tillotson on points in the lecture.
