Discussion of the CuIpabiIifY of
Trusts Proceeded in an Orderly
Manner.


ation conference on the uses and
abuses of trusts and combinations be-
gan heTa. today with less than half the
delegates appointed by the various
states in attendance. New York headed
by Bourke Cochran, and Wisconsin
were the most numerously represent
ed. The meeting was called TO order
by Franklin H. Head, president of the
civic federation. The delegates list
ened to an address of welcome to
Illinois by Attorney General Akin on
behalf of Governor Tanner, who by
illness, was prevented from appearing
in person.
The speech of Mr. Wcoten of Texas.
hammcTing the trusts in a merciless
manner, aroused the widest enthu-
siasm in the ranks Of the labor rep
resentatiyes and delegations from
many western and southern states.
while the fasteners generally, smiled
critically and kept their arms folded
Resolutions were finally passed that
the civic federation through its chair
man, Mr.. Head, should conduct the
meeting today and that committee on
programme be appointed, consisting of
one man from each state delegation,
and one from each organization, ma
tional in its scope.
John w. Hayes of the Knights of
Labor, created something of a sensa-
tion by declaring that HE did net in
tend to be classed with the New Jer-
sey delegation. even if he did vote in
that cradle of trusts Chairman Head
delivered an address in explanation of
the call for the conference. Prof
jerks said: ''If legislation is to be
chiefly regulative. will it be sufficient
20 secure publicity, Cur can something
be done to prevent undue raising of
prices?
"A second question. CT no less i'm
port is this: How far can such leg
islation be national under the general
provisions of cur constitution regard
ing interstate commerce? And how
far must legislation be within the
state? Could there be within a reia-
sonable time a national Incorporation
CT Lno great industries over which the
federal government should have soma
control? If so, would such conrtoI be
advisable?
The civic federation of Chicago is
a nonpartisan organization, embracing
in it's membership a goodly proportion
of the active business and professional
men of our city. Some months since
it realized that no topic seemed 50
widely discussed, as what was desig-
mated by the general title OF trusts
and that, tCo, upon no current topic
was there so widespread and general
ignorance and confusion CT ideas. It
is net trust or an antitrust confer
ence, but a conference in search of
truth and light. With this end in
view attendance has besn solicited /

In the 31st verse, chapter 9Th. of
Johns Gospel. the Saviour next declar-
eth the testimony of others concerning
Himself. In the last two Or three brief
studies of the chapter He had been. as
the reader will remember perhaps,
bearing witness of Himself. In the 31st
verse He says: eff 1 hear witness of
myself, My witness is not true" He
refers to a we'll known truth widely ac-
cepted and taught in the Old T.sta-
ment, that a mans testimony in his
cwn case is o. to BE- received, as he
may be unduly biased. So the Jews,
as the Lord Jesus must have known,
would be suspicious Of anything He
might say in HIS own ochalf and in ac-
cord with the prevailing view among
them as to such evidence. But the Mas
ter shuts u such a conclusion at once
detrimental to Himself. In the next
verse He states There is a.,,-l,c-

of the Father: That as Christ came
into the world in obedience to His Faith

the Father honor him, and bear wit

So the Father t~estifies and John the
Foreunner testfies to the Christ, the
Son OF God. But the Saviour saws. But

Sometime ago The Messenger insist
ed that dogmatic preaching was a pos
itive necessity, and that the churches
suffered because of the desuetude into
which such preaching a fallen. The
great fundamentals need to be con-
stantly enforced. Three-fourths of the
people who attend church get nearly
all they know of Bible truth from the
pulpit. Those who do not attend upon
preaching live in profound ignorance
of all that should hold and interest an
immortal being. The whole truth Of
God, as revealed in the Word Of Life
is not faithfully preached. An emulat-
ed Christianity is often held up to the
people, and then it is wondered at why
the preaching is not the power nov that
lit nee was. 1t is asked by the Chris
tian I~ntelligencer:
How many m in this day are
preached upon the accountability Of
man to God? How many on the day
of Judgment? How mann on the ex-
ceeding sinfulness of sin, as committed
against God? Jesus Christ. the example
for all preachers, began His preaching

1T is found by few, while the road
leading to destruction is broad and

they must be born again, born
from above, born of the Holy Spirit,
If they would enter the kingdom of
heaven How many preachers are
warming men as Jesus Christ did, and
He was the gift and the highest mani
festatiOn of the love of God How
many pulpits are presenting the whole
truth as the Apostles did, as the entire
