DIR. Charles Aked
The Rev. DIR. Charles Aked pastor of
the Fifth Avenue Baptist church, John
D. Rockefeller's church. says:
1.-THE political and business life of today
is hedged with laws that do not per-
NIT wrongdoing. Once in while lawless-
ness is fostered through influence and Is
allowed to develop, but never for long.
1t is exposed and the exposures are fol-
lowed by ruined regulations and disgrace.
This teaches a lesson.
Exposures have been made in recent
years which may have led some to be-
lieve that the world is not growing bet
ter. That is a wrong idea. We are
growing better. That is shown In the
manner in which corruption Is checked so
quickly.
DIR. w. H. Roberts
The Rev. DR.. w. H. Roberts, moder-
ator of the Presbyterian church, said:
"The grafters certainly indicate con-
