+" The Traffic ,,--in Salisbury.

Mr.. acknowledgements, with all its
allendan; evils, has heretofore prevailed TO
great extent, in Salisbury. The friends
Oh temperance, however, have la,lerly, made
some laudable efforts TO stop the sale of ar
dent spirits, which, il rersevered in will, no
doubt, prove lasting benefit The civil
authority had moral courage enough not to
grant any licenses, except to temperance
man. To him they gave power 10 sell as a
medicine. If the neighboring towns would
go and do likewise, we should soon see the
oar-room deserted on the Sabbath, and the
rum-sellers LOOKING up some more laudabl,
employment We hope we shall all dbl,

What has already been done to rescue on
fellow beings from poverty and ruin in th

ORIT U A r. W.

b j z u A II VI
DIED, at his residence in Sharon, Yer
mont, March II, 1889, ELDER JAMES PAR
KER, aged 76 years. He was a native of
Connecticut. He bought farm, and moved
on to it in Sharon, 81 years ago, on which
he lived until his death, thus suffering the
hardships and prizations Of new settle
ment.
He was extensively known throughout
the State, having represented the town many
years in the State Legislature.
He embraced The christian religion at
about the age Of 81 years, and united with
the Congregationahsts But finding neither
rrecept nor example for sprinkling for bap-
tisn,, in the New Testament, he withdrew,
and joined the Daptists, with whom he re-
manned firm supporter, preaching, and
teaching the truths Of the Gospel, more than
40 years.
He died, as he had lived, strong in the
faith of the Gospel, recommending the BIZ
bic as the best of books, praying for the
church, and the salvation Of souls, feeling
assured that, through the blood Of Jesus, a
blessed Immortality awaited him.
While the veteran fathers are retiring
from the field, we thank God that young
men who are strong, and able 10 overcome
the wicked Que, are raised up by the mighty
power Of God, and are going forth in bis
holy name, and blessed spirit. SucL will
be useful. Let all the churches unite in
one fervent prayer, that the Lord would
send more faithful, spiritual iaborers into
his vineyard.
