today. While this tariff question was
in jeopardy was it advisable for the
prince to return to Washington and

due recognition in political matters?
That was what the meeting was called
to consider. ]. p. Cooke and A. D.
Cooper were opposing the prince But
If his friends here fought his battles,
allowing him to go to Washington, he
would be carried to victory. Both fac
tions were for Tat and this friction
between them was all within the party
and the people should not take it too
much to heart. The Republican party

JUST AS EASY TO Be GOOD
NOW AS IN DAYS OF SAINTS
Temptations No Greater Now
Than In Other Days, Says
Rev. George Clark Peck

The Rev George Clark Peck, OF
New York, beginning weeks series
of talks under the auspices of the
Methodist denomination, in tide noon
Lenten services in the Detroit opera
house, Monday endeavored 10 show
that il is no harder Ito be good in
this day and age than IL was in the
age which produced saints"
We hear constantly that IL is very
hard 10 be good these days, because
OF the thousand and one elements
which progress has brought TO us
and which initiate against the old
way of being good in the days OF
simpler living" said Mr.. Peck. Our
modern life is indeed complicated but
it is no more distracting, no more
ilxury- loving, no more spendthrift
ana profligate thant the days of Rome,
the age from whence came saints.
Paul says The saints salute you,
especially those OF Caesars house
hold Even in the court OF the prince
of beasts, the most bestial. profiigate,
licentious of courts, saints were born.
And Paul knew a saint when he saw
one, Out OF the Caesar age or car
nailties came white robed saints
how dare anyone say that even the
stressful, strenuous, sinful life of our
modern age shall not bring forth
saints also? In this excuse for not
being good. young people tell you
that they cling to the Bohemianism OF
single life because the risk OF mar
rage is too great TO take; married
folk say that there is too much haz-
ard in the raising OF children; bust
ness men say there is no such per-
son as an honest man. We Ameri-
cans. even the half.baked kind OF us.
feel ashamed OF the conditions OF the
age that permit a Maynard TO buy
juhgeship or Lorimer a senator
ship. but do not forget that the age
of Caesar. Paul's age of saints, was
an age in which everything had
price. even men and women went
about with their-price marked in
plain figures Emperors bought their
thrones. and men their wives as we'll
as their slaves. Indescribable bestial-
It's has been uncovered in the Pom.
pe.ian excavations showing that era
20 have been one in which stories or
modern profiigacy pale into insignifi-
canoe.
The business of being good is not
a matter f+efFeHHst aneesEfortane-
or season II takes time TO be good
lust as II requires time to become
great musician, a foremost painter,
an eloquent preacher, capable
soldier. The two things needed TO be
good are loyalty TO Jesus Christ, the
kind Of red-blooded. affectionate 10y
atty that we give TO our mothers, our
sweethearts, our children; and ser
vice TO the other man. Those are
the two ingredients TO mix 10 get re-

MONROE. Mich, March 1S.-The
