Of any kind is fostered. The re-

We purpose not to patronize
places in which these un-Chris-

and reverse their attitude. Such
action, however, will not be
taken without notifying them OF
our intentions.
BY this, we mean no personal
Offense to the proprietorb OF
places where intolerance is
practiced, but let it be known
we shall do all in our power to
combat such intolerance; for we
