Show HOLINESS TO THE ond ORD I CO OP OPERATION NOT many days ago we published a communication from Z on the subject of cooperation operation co and the retention of the cooperative operative co sign alga over the doors of those who had expressed hostility against the measure it was scarcely the kind of communication in every respect that we are in the habit of admitting to our columns but it touched upon pon u a subject an b eject that thit needed mention and BO so we pub dished it hoping it would have the effect either to have the signs taken down or to show the people that the words holiness to the lord did not in every instance distinguish those who sustained e d operation cooperation co in contradistinction to those who opposed it whether communication had any effect or not we can no botsay nob not tsay say but tout we have it in our power to announce to day that at least tro tto signs havel have been hauled dewri the proprietors etora of the stores having come to tile the cond conclusion lusion td sail no longe runder colors to which their langu language aae ake and acts show they have no claim this is as it should be the people should have some means of distinguishing those who sustain operation cooperation co from those who wao do not this sign was wa adopted as this means mean sand and when a man ceases ceass to support tee the measure or tries to bring it into disrepute he should to bily say the least take down his bia sign and let the public know his hid true position if ifsich buch such persons do not wish Ho holiness linesA to the lord to be over their
