Simultaneous Meetings

Our community will have a spe-
cial privilege in the simultaneous
meetings to be held by our churches
the two weeks preceding Easter.
The fact that our churches are all
going to cooperate in such an effort
speaks well for the religious senti-
ment of the community. 1t is to be
hoped that the townspeople gener-
ally will not allow anythin g of So
cial nature to interfere with the ef-
fort thus put forth by the churches
to raise the moral standard. Let us
be loyal to our churches.

kindly. companionable, hospitable
in his home. charitable in his atti-
tude to others, and made life sweet
er and more cheerful for all with
whom he came in contact.
In addition to his church affilia-
tions, and his years Of service along

plify the registration process.
The title of the law was not
amended, however, to cover the sup
elemental provisions and for this
reason the law may have been in
validated( according to Spencer. The
State constitution requires that ref
erence be made in the title to all
subject-matter of the law.
The question of validity was raised
by Martindale, and Spencer's opinion
was givep in reply. The question
brought about. the hunt for a liti-
CANT to take the matter to the Su-
preme Court.
If found invalid the law may be
validated by a special session Of the
Legislature.
/ When the validity question first
arose, lit was suggested that both po-
litical parties agree not to attack the
law, but Spencer pointed out that
this agreement would not be reliable,
because any voter could throw the
election into confusion by filing a
suit against the law at any time.
