there, as without obedience TO the law
the State could not stand. Since the ses-

duty to the State, not 10 a political party.

on his ballot the pledge he had taken III
| the society.
The society has played an important
part in the history of the country, as IN
the overthrow of Tammany Hall and the
closing OF saloons in some parts OF the
State on Sundays, and hoped one day to
close them all the week.
Some might ask why we should not
educate in these things at school. How
are the toiling masses to reach the nights

Edwin C. Baxter of Los Angeles re-
sponded for the Junior Society. He is
only a youth, but his response would
have done credit TO an older and more
practiced speaker and eli"ited much fav-

again to thank their friends for their
cordial reception. They were working
for Christ and his church, and would one
day be Christian citizens and church

The Business Committee made some
announcements. and also stated that the
Sacramento members had rendered the
use of their rooms to the visiting dele

members spent time in social converse
and forming each others acquaintance.
