From an old issue of the con

which it seems to us has some
very sensible and solid planks in
it:
1. A better brand of Christ
ians, who will stand the social
and business test as well as the
more narrow "religious" test.
2. More cheerful, systematic
financial givers.
3. A better home life, in
physical, sanitary and social re
spects. 4. Scientific agriculture.
5 An efficient school system,
with vocal training.
(5. Clean citizenship in local,
State and national politics.
7. A wholesome and self
sufficient social life.
8. A rational development of
amusements, sports and recre
ation. 9. Creation of the right sort
of community environment.
10. Co-operation between all
forces working for the good of
the community.
