Us said. in substance, that institutions Of this
lind are of modern origin. From the days Of Gel
.us In the time Of Julius Cesar, TO this century,
while radical science generally has been advanced,
the department of ophthalmogy has been neglect
ed. The first institution 70 treat the Eye was
founded in Vienna, Austria, in l773 Some Lon
doners, with DIR. Saunders at their head, taking
advantage of the example of the Germans opened
a similar institution in London in 1870 In lsl6
the speaker enjoyed the teaching Of Doctors Saun-
ders Farr, and Lawrence in London.
In 1924 Dr. John c. Rogers Of New York, who
is here today, opened an Eye lnfrmary in that
city, where some $4,000 persons with diseased
ewes have been cured.
In the latter part Of the year 1924, Doctors John
Jeffries, and Edward RynOlds laid the foundations
of the Massachusetts Institution, by opening al
Infrmary in Scollay's. Building IN Boston. Mr..
Edward Tucker was elected the first President OF
this Society.

This resolution was also passed. The COnven.

has from the first proclaimed that the suppression by eiy

for the friends Temperance be connected
with political parties which refuse to favor the Aforesaid
Ee,sirsd therefore That member OF the Liberty party
can no more belong to he unprncipled STATS
Temperance Society nAn be can to OF the rum political
parties
At the evening session Mr.. Crosier Of your city
opened the debate in opposition to the resolution.
He thought il was an Unjust condemnation Of the
State Temperance Society. Tie late Convention
substituted for the resolution it rescnded one de.
clsriDg him TO be unfaithful Temperance man
who should vote for a candidate who would not
pledge himself to do all in his power TO suppress
the rum traffic. This was thought by Mr.. Crosier
to go far enough. he felt perfectly free TO cooper
ate with any man OF either of the great parties who
would use his influence for any great reform, and
be had no right to denounce that man as an ncon-
sistent Temperance Reiormer, an unprnciped
Land Reformer, or an inconsistent Anti Slavery
man, although he still retains his old party connec
ton.
Mr. Smith contended that he who belongs to
either Of the rum parties gives his influence against
Temperance, and must come out before he can be
a consistent Temperance man. So also Of land
Reform or AntiSlavery. He had no respect for
the Christianity of that church whose pulpit would
not testify against all men and all parties that
directly or indirectly sustained intemperance. He
had said that all churches with colored pews were
the churches Of the devil, and it were better to
burn than sustain them. He would say the same
thing OF those churches whose clergy aud laty hold
| fellowship with any party that sustains the sale
and use OF intoxicating drinks for any other purpose
| than medicinal. Mr. Smith declared all the churches
which sustain any, or do not protest against ALL
the great evils OF the age, such lntemperance,
land Monopoly War and Slavery, to be infamous,
and more serviceable TO the devil than to God.
The debates were conducted by large number
of the delegates but have referred 10 those only
who took the most prominent part. The COnven-
tion adjourned, to meet tomorrow morning at Mr..
May church L. A. HISE.
