Analysing salt LIKES wave OF i'm
morality that seems to be flourishing
under the city administration. the Rev
Francis Burgette Short delivered the
following sermon at the First Metho-
dist church last night;
Church people should always assist
civil authorities and powers in their e.
forts TO subdue vice and to exact right
eOusness. The spirit OF reform is
abroad in the land. 1t seems TO be con-
tagious and quite the popular thing just

This spirit Of reformation seems to
have struck this city broadstde, and
its coming has been none too soon.

be ashamed 20 have read. providing al
that Is being done Is being honestly
and unFelfishly. Those that are lead
ing In this work merit the support Of
every good citizen. providing their et-
forts are TO continue until crime OF
every sort IS reduced TO a minimum IN
this city and the city so kept.
