the progress and prosperity of the
country.
“Therefore, be it resolved, that this
convention disapproves of the use of
public property, the Soldier’s Field of
Chicago, for the display of passion
plays.
“Be it further resolved, that the
president of the District appoint a
committee of five to present a copy
of these resolutions of protest to the
board of South Park Commissioners
of Chicago, and to make every effort
to prevent the issuance of a permit
tor the use of Soldier’s Field for the
production of a passion play.”
