Mr. Rader was the first to speak. In beginning he asked the question, "What is good gbvernment?" The Federal government, he said, is as good as the State, the State is as good as the county, the county is as good as the towns and communities, these as good as the families , the families as good as the individuals. In other words, the individuals make up the government, which in turn is as good as you. The speaker told of the drift of some sections of the country into crime, and declared that a re vival of the old-time Christian re ligion is the only hope for America.
