The gieat judlca- tutes of all Chustlan churuhos had spoken \vith nearly equal emphasis on the subject. Thcro was no question of difference on the cardinal points. Tha great question wns in what manner something waste to b.s accomplished. The Chilstlan pcoplo hud been so divided In their opinions that they had been completely in the power of coi inpt political manipulators. The preat , point was to coma together and tnko hold of the problem as they found It. The general conference should loltciatn and Intensify tha principles enunciated in the Episcopal ml- iliess. It should Invite pcoplo ot every class and denomination to join \\lth thorn and form n society to work together in the iittetostof tcmporaiKO and for the suppression of thu saloon.
