discussion. Rev. GreenShield maintain

luton 10 stand as condemnation under
all circumstances. Under this head he
believed should be included street cars.

and the city continued to exist. He
made his plea. not on strictly moral
grounds. but as benefit to the railroad
men who were employed in running the
trains.
Rev. I. P. Hearst took the opposite
ground, holding that street car traffic is
a matter Of necessity in modern times.
