We cannot agree with the eminent Staten

urge them to take their money out OF savings

Citations. The clergy would very soon get into

WIMAN said they should preach whom he last
spoke at Prohibition Park. There has been a
great lot OF money lost. as Brother WIMAN
knows. by the members OF building and loan
associations. while very little has been lost
by the depositors in savings banks We favor
properly managed building associations. but
We should not like to have the clergy manage
them. They would not have any time for tho
Gospel. or for the saving Of souls. II they took
tho time to study all the prospectuses OF such
associations that are put ont. to discriminate
between the bad ones and tho good. or to give
advice suitable to all the investors who ap-
piled for 1t. II the clergy want to keep out OF

play, with its biting satire OF London fash
iOnable society, through accounts of its
London success. How the cleverly and
carefully eccentric Dir. Wilde became a
London celebrity by posing as a social

over, he turned upon the English aristocrats
with this comedy, in which their foibles and
immoralites are mercilessly attacked, are
matters Of recent familiar history. Lady
Windermere's FAM is essentially a play of
