I'll Evangelio nos ensena la YER
dadera nocion de In vida futura.
Cuando los Sa luceos, ,niegan la
eristencia de In villa futle:f,t ell mis-
mo Maestro Soil,r J.sucristo les
reprende diciendoles "Errais en-
gran mlnera. DioS no eS el DiOs lie
los muertos sino lie los vivOs. II

lugar: abraham ha visto mi dia Y
sc ha alegrado;" (2(luego Abraham
vive, pues Sc regocija de la salui
que JESUS trae no solo 4 los Judlos,
,ino tambien a todos los hombres.
En- el umbral de esta vida futu-
"a, el Evangelio nos presenta los
hombres dicidid0s en- dos categorias :
{" Ibaat his IN igaem, JUST aut6m in
ritam" [3], Asi In vida futura de
ins bleiIos es enteralnente dlferen-
te de Ia lie los perversos; estos Sc

Para conseguir la vida eterna, ell
Eyangelio nos ensela que es nece-
sario Greer. /" El que ereyere Y
fuere bautizado Sc salvara, mas el
que no creyere ST codenara" 81.
Poro no basta Greer, es meneter

No hay, pues, dos caminos para
llegar al cielo; no hay mas que
uno: Greer y practicar.

LOCALIZED Treason.

ter, an alleged Saloon K eeper's
Protective Society" of Cincinnati;
which was organized for the special
and sole purpose of resisting and
defying through conspiracy and
combination, the righteous laws Of
the State. applied to the Secretary
of State for certificate of incorpor.
alton. The certificate was refused
on the ground that the Society was
inimical to the State and could no.
be recognized as a lawful body cor.
porate.
This was plainly just and proper
Now it appears that the new
Secretary, Mr.. Newman, has issued
the certificate in the face of the At.
torney Generals opinion, that it
would he unconstitutional, and 50
Ohio has deliberately "legalized"
this organized whisky rebellion.

A Pleasant Affair.

A few evenings since quite a
comp any of young people visltedthe
U. B. parsonage for the purpose of
giving the preacher some money
and having good time generally.
Mr.. E. B. KilIingsworth acted as
spokesman. and, before presenting
ii budget of silver, made neat lit
tie speech, full of encouragement
to the pastor, who responded in a
short speech telling them, among
other things, that as one good
turn deserves another, he hoped they
would come again. After singing
and praying the company retired,
leaving the preacher and his wife
not only better off in this wor!d's
goods, but assured of the sympathy
and good will of the young people
of the congregation.

Satisfied and Settled.

A. B. White returned from his
Lafayette trip last Friday morning,
and reported himself as fully salts
fed that there had been a flood. He
was delayed both coming and going
by high waters. He has disposed
of his newspaper interests in La
fayette and will settle down in Par
kersburg for good.--Joatrnal.
While SO many are complaining
and expressing bitter dissatisfac.

lieves the morose monotony to
know that Bro. VIII tie is fully
satisfied" And moreover, we are
exceedingly glad that he is now
going to "settle down" and "be

BUSINESS.
State Temperance Executive Com
mittee Meeting.

The meeting Of the State Tenn
perance Executive Committee, held
last Wednesday at the office of the
Chairman in this city, was decidedly
business meeting
There was little time wasted in
crying over split milk" but the
purpose was at once manifested
that measures SHOULD be promptly
set on foot to doubly insure the
saving of the cream hereafter.
The members of the Committee
were nearly all present, either in
person or by proxy, with written
instructions and suggestions.
Among those present, were Judge
Ferguson, of Charleston, Marshal
G. w. Atkinson, of Wheeling, Hon.
D. McGregor, of Richie, DR.. War
ner, Rev. G. c. Wilding, Chairman
Dave D. johnson, Prof. A. l.. Pur-
inton, Rev. w. M. Weekley, DR.,
Carroll, VIM. B. Caswell, Rev. J. L.
Clark, and others.
AS to what was done, we may
say in brief, that the Committee de-
cided-
First. That a State Convention
shall be held sometime in the early
Summer, the fixing of the time
and place being left with sub
committee-announcement to be
made at an early day.
Second. A thorough county and
district organization to be effected
without delay. Measures were tax
en- to put competent men into the
field to perfect this important
work.
Third. And by no means least,
measures were discussed and adop-
ted for raising funds needful for Or
ganizing all the temperance work
ers Of the State, and for scattering
temperance literature among the
people.
The proceedings were especially
harmonious and enthusiastic
While as to some matters Of expe
diency and measures, there were
differing opinions among promi-
nent members, yet as to the main
objectin view, and the answering
purpose to follow the straightest
road to the goal of Constitutional
Prohibition, regardless of party or
personal interests, there was but
one, united, harmonious and enthu-
siastic opinion.
The Committee speak for them
selves and the people in this issue.

That $25-Friend.

We promised last week to have
a word in reference to "Democrats"
letter in our last issue, which en-
closed S25 in aid of the FREEMAN
and the Common cause.
1t is but just to say TO these good
friends and others whose interest in
the cause of Temperance and Prohi-
btion goes down as deep as Their
pockets, that just such substantial
interest is needed all along the line
And just here let us repeat what
we have said before, that the FREE
MAN is in no sense a personal or
private enterprise. It's emphatic
ally the paper Of the people, By the
people, and for the people. Its
success is your success, its victories,
if victories it wins, your victories.
Those who Immediately manage
and control the FREEMAN are but
the servants Of the Temperance
people of the State, whose proper
and enterprise the FREEMAN is.
And now, let us add that what
ever any friends may be pleased to
subscribe or contribute in any way
in aid of the paper, will go directly
towards extending it's circulation
and widening its influence.
Along with the So referred to,
many friends are cheerfully tax ing
IL few shares of stock in the FREE
MAN Publishing Company. Others
hel Up in other ways; for instance a
lady hands us s. saying, ''send the
FREEMAN to two young men trying
10 reform" A Wheeling Republi-
can pays for 20 six months sub
scriptions, the Temperance Union
furnishing the names a Wheeling
Democrat pays for 10 yearly sub,
scriptions sent to acquaintance
trying to reform; an earnest wom-
an of Richie county, sends us S.
in aid of the cause and so on.
This, friends, is the way the work
is being done. All that comes in
goes directly into the common
cause, which is your cause. Will
you not help on your own cause?

Let the People trust no man who
refused to trust the People.
