ing Drs. Dickinson and Pitt and their

assured. In his short address he dis
cussed generally the power and influence
of religious paper. stating that it is :,
most Important factor In the public as
we'll as the home life. For the daily pa
pers. also, I've had a good word to say.

to the deepest depths.
