Mc-Conkie Mc-Conkie used the expression quoted in the caption, accounting it a sin of ommission by which the saloon flourished. If the evil of drink is to be stopped we must voice our condemnation con-demnation of it fearlessly. The speaker characterized the saloon evil as prominent among the fruits of sin --the disease germ that made unclean un-clean the hand, the tongue, the heart, aud the soul. Cleaniness from sin in various forms was the theme of IVr. McConkie's lecture of thirty-five minutes, the delivery being forcible aud pleasing. Besides the lecture a literary and musical program made up one of the nio6t interesting conjoint sessions that have been held in Gunnison, the hall and staad being rilled with listeners. |
