 The question as to whether it is ever justifiab1e to compromise with wrong was discussed and it was de- cided that it was not.

 Loyalty to Conviction.
 An interesting hour was spent by a study in the local Y. M. c. A.. the general secretary leading the class. The study topic was Loyalty to Con- victions. The points brought out were in part as follows:
