Bishop Potter, Of the Episcopal
church diocese, Of New York City,
is receiving very vigorous protests
for the position he assumed the
other day in defeating a saloon
with prayer and the singing Of a
doxology. Many good pcople are
very greatly disturbed over the
matter and insist that the saloon is
already too attractive, that our
churches have more empty seat:
than full ONES while the drinking
ones are crowded. Possibly tn,
good bishop had this in mind, and
that the same sort Of services that
has caused vacant churches will
produce empty saloons.

That the Peoples Independent

stated in our last issue, the Cum

posed Salem exchange, taking in
Mexico, Dycusburg and Pinckney-

which are already generally using
the Independent systems and they
will also take in Fords Ferry

proposed exchanges. However,
