i      The  meeting was  opened   liy  Rev.  L.
I M.   Hainer,     who   announced     several
¦ byiiins,    offered   prayer   and   present¬ ed  the  senator.
I Senator Clapp said in his opening I remarks that he had no set subject i for his address, but that he desired t'> ; liresent  some  facts   from   his   own  ob
servalion as to the general trend for i weal or woe of this republic. In the j consideration  of  the  jiroblems  all  peo-
¦ pie may be divided into the two class- I e.s—pessimists and o.ptlmists—but the 1 senator thinks that the middle ground, i Ol- the avei'iige, as he called it, is pro- i bably the safest plane from which to : study c:onditions.
i He regrets that within the past few : years   there   have   been   instances   in
this country in whieh men in high and responsible positions have been ' charged with and convicted of crime, and yet this does not necessarily prove ' that we are taking retrogressive steps, ' but rather that the respect for and i responsibility of the law are growing ! stronger  when   sustained  and   support-
ed by the aroused sentiment of the j i people at large, which is the liasis for' ! all  law.
j     This  crystallized  sentiment  finds  its expression   also   in  a   wider  patriotism ; , both  in a national sense and in an  in¬ dividual   degree  in  general   helpfulness i towards   others—the   Christian   broth- j ) erly     spirit.     While   the     senator   de- j ! plores  the number of divorces,  yet  lie | I sees therein the might of the law e.x ¦ 1 tended     to   protect   the   weak     and   to! correct an existing or to prevent a fu- ! lure wrong.

A striking proof of general progress is the reverence, respect and»deference shown ¦ woman today not only in the sanctity xjt: lib* Wettn*'- an<*»^'ln^^Sfftrlal life, but also in the commercial world in whieh woman has entered, flllins positions which in no ways detract from her queenly virtues, 'nor inter¬ fere with her pniper sfihere of use¬ fulness nor her special influence In the home.
In all these agencies for moral ad¬ vancement the church has been a pot¬ ent fiictor—the dyniiniic force in the march of progress—iind must continue to wield its infiuence In the great unselfish work of aiding our fellow- men, which was exemplified in the words of Christ 19 centuries ago, "In¬ asmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these, my brethren, ye have done it also unto me."
