given and sincere thanks expressed for
the earnest work being done by, the
ihen referred 10 the general convention
OF the Episcopal church which was held
at Cincinnati last fall. as follows
.'The two most important proposals of
the general convention of 1910 were In
my Judgment. the creation OF com
mission on social service In place OF the
Joint commissions on capital and labor.
and the appointing OF joint commits
sion TO bring about a conference for the
consideration of questions touching faith
and 1rder w its TO 1Se Ss
world to unite with us in arranging for
and conducting such conference
I'VE already have district commit

Talks on Prohibition.
THAT there is need Of honest and
need TO be inspired with higher sense
OF social responsibility than they have. is
made quite clear In the present discus
sion sion Of prohibition The protest of the the
passing of a prohibition law on June u
IS neither brave nor high principlcd
document II may be true that IT is
Utah on this or any other moral Issue,
but such a condition OF affairs must fill
us all with sense Of shame
This appeal OF the business men of
Salt Lake 10 voters 10 defeat prohibition
seemed 10 me To show such feeling.
II rather expressed a feeling Of great
relief at having such argument for
opposing reform movement. because II
might temporarily disturb business. There
was complete overlooking of the fact
that possibly the moral welfare Of some
of the sgners OF that protest might be
advanced il they were to fail In busi-
ness. Adversely alone can make some
men remember that man doth not live
by bread alone. However. we must not

industry today is calculated 10 confuse
moral ideas. II almost compels a man
Ia think that loyalty 10 the men he
works for in business. ever in a bad
cause constitutes his full duty. Our
whole system of business is calculated
To make ii difficult TO put moral rcspon-
sibllity on ANYBODY.

10 publish neatly printed little pamphlets
