to tour the country. endeavorinE to
bring about the passage Of minimum
wage laws in additional states.
Like suffrage" says Miss Rankin.
"the minimum wage has passed the
preliminary stage We have had ex-
perience in thirteen states and the
District Of Columbia. Unlike suf-
perience of the minimum wage in a
sachusetts. In Boston such leading
employers as Edward A. Filene have
indorsed it. and have stated that the
minimum wage has reduced labor
costs as compared with other costs
Of running the business.
The far western states which have
not yet passed minimum wage laws
and the Mississippi valley states may
be expected to fall in line very soon.
The fact that women now have the
vote and can be organized to protect
the interests Of working women will
hasten such new legislation. Nation
wide adoption Of minimum wage laws
is only a matter Of time"

that which the individual member Of
either church might say, it was
nevertheless plain each church main

that to accept Christ was to be lost,

was right and the other was wrong.
An honest mind must endeavor to
ascertain the truth, and try, though
it may be only in feeble way, to
help his friends. Either there should
be giving up the worship of pre-
tender and thus be true to God, or
on the other hand, an acceptance of
the promised Christ, and thus be
faithful to the true God. Every man
is obliged to save himself and save
his friends. Anything short of this

The southern states are most favor

are by many miles nearer to the cities
OF Central America and the north and
west coasts of South America than are
other sections Of the states. He also
argued that the southern people are by
nature better fitted tempermentally to
deal with the Latin American than is
any other section OF this country.
