TO CLOSE SALOONS
ON The SABBATH

The Salt Lake Ministers association
held an extended session this morning
In the pailors OF the Y. NJ. c. A. The
paper which was TO have been given by
the Rev. Mr.. Henry was not read on
account OF that gentlemans absence.
The morning was spent in the discus
sion OF the present state Of public NOR
ais both in Salt Lake and In other
places. Mrs. Nation was mentioned and
II was the opinion Of the local minis
teis that while the object (the abolition
OF saloons and other places harmful 10
public health and morals) is all right, Il
Is unfortunate that Il cannot be at
tained In a more lasting way and with
out the destruction OF personal property,
which In itself Is deporable and against
the law Of the Constitution The opin-
ion seemed to be general that lasting
good cannot be attained by the endorse
ment OF the tactics persued by Mrs.
Nation In Kansas
The report of the committee which
waited upon the city officials relative to
the state Of public morals In this city
and the absolute closing Of saloons on
Sunday. was discussed and the idea 10
bring the subject before the several
congregations at next Sundays SER
vices was well thought Of by the min
listers and will be done. The PROPOSE
tion 10 call public mass meeting with
In the next few weeks for the purpose
Of getting a public endorsement TO the
movement for the Sunday closure OF
saloons, etc, was also discussed and II
is expected that such a meeting will be
called as II was the sense OF the meet
ing that the opening Of the saloons on
Sunday should be abolished.
The Salt Lake ministers hold their
regular election OF officers at next Mon
days meeting.
