Conquerors from the north and from the

There are difficulties and dangers
before our nation today just as great
as any our forefathers faced. To
meet and conquer them requires all
the moral Drawn and muscle this ma
ton can muster. There are the prob
lens of corruption in business and
politics; the terrible scourges of in
temperance and the drug habit, and
the social evil, deadly to soul and body
alike; there are the problems of
moral education, of marriage and di-
vorce, of the treatment of depend
ents-prisoners, detectives, paupers,
etc. Any one of these left uncon-
quered would devastate our country
as no war could-Rev. N. T. Houser.
