ing developed. that we should join hands

to their greatest productlveness. We say |
that we believe in the commercial de-

and that the church In this State shall
keep Its compact with the nation upon |
those great moral questions which are sc |
vital 10 the welfare OF the State and |

existing here, We say that true loyalty
can only come by exhibiting the disease
and flghting to remedy IL.

taking out of the State their millions
