there are so many points OF agreement: De.

she same courtesy and kindness which he
1isplays it would be less difficult to reach
right conclusions than it generally is. We
stand on the same general platform Of 9 JUS

We only differ as to what Is justice and
what is favor. It ia true my interest 10

which seems to be slight, compared with its
worth. When reflect on the fact that the
church privileges which we now enjoy, IN
der the protection of our Government, were
not always ours, feel that as Church we
owe something 10 the Government which
affords US such protection. It's but just to

On the other hand, it does not seem to me to
be Just TO tax NE to help support the grandeur

But how, it may be asked, am l taxed for

how much taxes are RENTED on other pro.

taxed property. A bishop objects to the tax
because it would be premium offered to
