Bishop Spalding sends his thanks for checks for stock and dividends. Onahan's circular, which he returns, embraces all that such a meeting could concern itself. It would be wise to take up two or three points rather than many and to present a practical and businesslike method of dealing with the interests implicated. Talk is cheap and nearly all our gatherings begin and end in words. Take lay cooperation and devise some means by which laymen may really take part in Church work. It is not necessary to say anything about Indians and niggers and colonization. Take a stand in favor of prohibition and let temperance societies gently slide down an indefinitely slopping plane. It was not his attention, however, to make any suggestions further than to say that phrases are no longer needed. Let us cease to pretend to wish to do what we really have no intention of doing. :: III-3-c A.L.S. 2 pp. 12 mo.
