Of his remarks he said: 1.-THE great mistake
that Christian people make is to allow the evil
people to retain such strong hold on politics

1t is the business of everyone before me to
take part in these affairs and help to weed out
that which is wrong. It is as much your
Christian business to do your duty by your
government as it is for you to do your duty by
yourself. Whenever one of you goes out and
takes an active part in politics it makes one
more righteous man in politics. Ihave great
deal Of trouble to get good jury-not that
mean to criticise the jUries that serve under
me, but when they are summoned to serve
number of those who would be most desirable
call at my Office and ask to be released from
this duty. They give various excuses for this
request, and in number of cases it is pnt in
such a strong light that feel that it is only
right to release them. want to impress on
you the importance of the necessity of man
to serve on the jury when he is summoned.
1t is your duty to stamp out everything that
is wrong and sinful in your community"
