Life, the Overcoming Feature
The meeting was opened by President

read from the nineueth Psalm and offered
prayer
In his discourse he commanded the men
for irving to nculcate the religious prin-
ciple in connection with their union. and
ADVISED the men to live the lives Of
Christians. Mr.. Mead said.
II have learned by experience that It is
not how much we may want things in

ing Of sympathy which l have for all

of good.
Il do not feel that any organization
OF labor IS for the purpose Of fight ns

are they To crush out or Kill, for if they
were they would be annihilated. Their
very existence disputes the fact of such
q purpose They are al organized for
the purpose OF a high and noble prin-
ciple TO sustain their rights. and as
long as they keep close to these prin-
ciples they are carrying out the precepts
of St. Paul, Men must be strong, NUT
have confidence in each other, and aim
for the highest stars OF life. if We hope
to achieve the h gh things.
With the power to organize and spread
the influence for good, in overcoming
passions which would arise, only good can
result, and our weaknesses will be con
quered.

night for the purpose of electlng new Of

dent Simmons will probably fill the chair
