When the body is weak and the blood

Obscure influences, something I'M

stirring address on The Relation of
the Church to Organized Labor" CIV.
en- by R. w. Lilley, of Keokuk, the an
nual meeting of the Iowa Christian
convention closed its sessions here
last night. The Keokuk orator was
heard by an immense audience, many
of the thousand delegates remaining
Tor the closing session to learn of the
church's relation to affiliated crafts.
All We're repaid for their presence in
the Davis Street Christian church.
Mr.. Lilley impressed upon all the ne
cesslty OF the church cooperating
with organized labor, and showed in
the course of his address the compar.
alive conditions of the employed
army with their employers. His re-
marks contained the thought that the
church and organized labor should go
hand in hand, and he dwelt at length
on the great missionary work the
church could do in mining camps and
other places when union men are EN-.
ployed and where there are few, ii
any, churches.
