Throughout civilization there is un.
smistakable evidence that the concep-

almost indissoluble, except on one

Of a greater rural population.
APPROVES REFORM SPIRIT
The latter part of Bryce's address
was devoted to the spirit of reform.
This reform spirit he said, 'is all
over the union, but nowhere is stronger
than in California. This is a good sign.
Where there is a strong desire TO make
things better it shows that the people,
minds are bent on higher things.
There are three principles which
must be applied in all questions of re-
form. The first is that politics is an
experimental science. Let us make it
L
ond is patience. What patience the sci
entific man uses in his work and with;
our more difficult science we want more
patience. The third principle is that
we must deal vigorously with wrong
doers and have infinite charity for those
who differ with US in opinion.
There is just as much harm done in
stealing from city as in stealing from
the till of a bank and the law should
be applied just as unfiinchingly and lust
as promptly, for there is much in
promptness."
DR.. Bryce was Immediately pro-
ceeded by Gavin McNab, who made a
brilliant speech. filled with witty and
aphoristic comments on municipal poll
tics. He said that the public owner
ships of utilities would go long way
toward eliminating the boss from
politics. He pleaded for a more gen
eral interest in politics and added
that. the boss is the representative
of the citizen who neglects his civic
duties"

There is just as much harm done in

In opening his address DR.. Bryce ap-

A Methodist, according to John Wes-
ley's definition, is one who has the love
of God shed abroad in his heart by the
Holy Ghost given unto him, and who
loves the Lord his God with all his heart
and soul and mind and strength. He
rejoices evermore, prays without ceasing
and in everything gives thanks. His
heart is full of love to all mankind and
is purified from every malice, wrath
and every unkind affection. His one
desire and the one design of his life is
not to do his own will, but the will of
Him that sent him. He does
good unto all men, unto neighbors,
strangers, friends and enemies. These
are the marks of the true Methodist.
