President to-day to confer with him as 70 some
OF the results of their deliberations. Bishop
Doane speaking for the committee, delivered
brief address, to which the President replied. as
follows
great pleasure to meet you here There Is GER
tain tendency TO exalt the unesSential in dealing
with our public questions, and public men espe-
cially apt to get their attentloh conceh-
trated on questions that have an Importance,
but a wholly ephemeral Importance, compared
with the questions that go straight to the root
of things Questions like the tariff and the cur
rency are Of literally no consequence whatso-
ever, compared with the vital question or haV-
Ing the unit of social life, the home, pre-
served. 1t is impossible to overstate the I'M
erage husband and wife fulfil their duties
toward one another and toward their children
Christianity teaches them, then we may rest
absolutely assured that the other problems Will
solve themselves. But if we have solved every
other problem In the wisest possible way 1t
shall profit us nothing II we have lost our own
national soul: and we will have lost 1t If We do
not have the question of the relations of the
family put upon the proper basis.
While I do not know exactly what II Is that
you wish me to do, can say in advance that
so far as in me lies all will be done to
operate with you toward the end that you have
IN view One of the most unpleasant and dan
diminishing birthrate and the loosening of the
marital tie among the old native American
families. 1t goes without saying that, for the
race as for the individual. no material pros
perity no business growth, no artistic scien-
tffic DEVELOPMENT win count If the race commits
suicide. Therefore. Bishop count myself fort
unate in having the chance TO work with you In
this matter of vital importance to the national
