absolution Adopted.
At the conclusion of Dr. Craft's ad
dress, which ranged over a wide course
in telling of the work of the reform
bureau, the resolution dealing with the

resolution under the circumstance

n wa aeurea to maa tn action rep

The ministerial association also took
action on th anti-canteen law, passing
a resolution urging the senators and
