OUR Loss.

The cause of temperance in this coun
ty has never | ost a truer friend and u
more faithful worker than Mr.. William
Shape who died of pneumonia at his res
idence in Warrington on Sunday week.
He was one of the few in the cause,
who having conviction r%esolutely car
ried them into practice without ever
asking whether he stood alone or with
the majority. With him, in fact, to be
on the side of God was to be with the
majority though all others were opposed
Many will remember more than one
Instance in convention Or elsewhere,
when young and humanity speaking,
stronger mel wavered, his calm but
earnest words had in them a magic, to
inspire the timid with courage, and the
disinheartened with hope.
He had long been a jealous and con-
sistent member of the church aud when
once o WINGED in his own mind that
| the success Of the temperance cause
was essential to the full success of the
gospel, he threw his whole soul into 1t
not for three months or u year but for
life. Doubtless no man would have
| been more glad to see. the final triumph
of the cause. He saw it only as Moses
saw the Promised land, and when the
summons came he cheerfully laid down
his weapons that his mortality might
put on Immortality.
The following resolutions were adopt
ed by. the County Temperance Alliance
at it's session held in Woodstown on
Wednesday, April 25th.
Rsolcsd, That by the death of VIII
lam Shape we have lost a worthy broth
err and tried and true friend of on
cause and a worthy christian.
Resoleed, That it is with profount
sorrow that we have received the intel
ligencs of his death, but reverentl.
and submissiyely bow to the Proyidenc'
that took him from us.
Resolved, That We tender our hear
felt sympathy to the widow and tn
family left behind who morn the los

in whose favro they sign, AID if in any
case it be found illegal, to prosecute
the irregularity.
Resolved, s. That we recommend
the adoption Of the petition prepared
by the Haddoniel1 Quarterly Meeting
of Friends and by them presented to
the Camden county Courts; and that
the committee just named he also in
structed to place that petition before
the next session of the court Of our
county.
The petition is as follows:
believing intoxicating beverages
have much to do in d~emoralizng and
impoverishing the inhabitants of u
country, as well as in creating subjects
for almshouses and prisons, we feel
warranted in offering this petition for
your serious consideration. We know
that much of the intemperance and its
consequent evil results in our country
is within the capacity of license grant
ing power to suppress, and hence in the
name OF morality, truth, justice and
human progress we entreat the court
to refrain from granting licenses for
the sale of intoxicating liquors in every
instance consistent with your duties
under the law. We are not unmlndful
of tie fact that public houses for the &C
commodation of travellers are essential,
but the public houses must necessarily
be drinking places is an impression that
has grown ont of custom merely. We
firmly believe that hotels wIAch cannot
be sustained without the sal'Aef intoxi-
eating liquors had better be I'D to
go down, as the damage arising from
such sales cannot be compensated for
by rendering comfort to trayelers. We
most earnestly desire that the saloons
and groggeries of u county may re-
ceiye a restraining influence at your
hands. Those groggeries which are
but for the entertainment of oilers,
loafers and gamblers are entirely unnec
essary / all places, begetting nothing
but vice, ignorance and degradation,
and greatly need the restraining power
of proper authority"
Resolved, 6. That the committee
appointed to inquire into the applic;s-
ton made for license and to prosecute
in cases where the present law has not
been fully complied with, be Instructed
to confer with some able attorney to
ascertain The cost per year of the servi-
ces of such attorney to look after the
legal needs of our covnty Alliance.

SALEM COUNTY TEMPERANCE
ALLIANCE

The Temperance Alliance of this
county met on Wednesday, April 25th,
in the M. E. Church Of Woodstowh.
The usual business was transacted.
The various reports from townships
showed that practical thought is adyan
cling and temperance voters slowly
learning from experience.
Rev. E. C. Sunfield's address on the
Duty of the Christian Church toward
temperance was replete with good
thought. We regret that our space
forbids us to give even a synopsis of it.
The address was thoroughly discuss
ed by Reverends Crate, Wagg and Ed
er and, d. p. Dorrell.
Rev. j. E. Wilson's account OF the
struggle at Burlington this State to
close up the saloons is an admirable
Illustration of the necessity of support
ing by our votes a party pledged to pro-
hibition. The meeting was pronounced
by some present AZ n of the best meet
ings ever held by the Alliance. In adj
dition to those named above Messrs.
Cooper, Wilcox, Nc. Curdy and others
belped to make the discussions inter-
esting and profitable.
The following resolutions were unan
imously adopted.
Resolved. That we recognize in
Hon. George Hires our county senat-
or. and in Hon. Henry Coombs our rep
resentative in the state legislature,
real friends of our cause-their votes
in the halls of legislation having proved
them + in the hour Of test.
Resolved. 2. That in the election OF
| the Hon. Thomas NJ. Terrell, a life
long. consistent temperance man and
worker. to a seat as our Representa- i've
in the national Congress, we recognize
/! a wearyness of the people of intemper'
ance and of political corruption and
bossism both of which are largely fos-
| tered if not indeed made possible onl,
through the d~emoralizing channels o.
bad whiskey. We hail the election O
such men to seats in the councils of th'
state and of the nation as evidence o.
the growing power of "a cause, aad 1
promise of its full triumph in the neal
future.
Resolved, 3. That we recommend the
churches of our county and all mora
aud temperance organizations in oil 10
ealities to hold public meetings, com
bining in localities where two or NOR
such organizations exist, and thus
keep this critical question before tn
public mind.
Resolved, 4. That a commit tee b
appointed to examine the application
for license to see if those application
are legally signed according to the new
law requiring the signers TO specif.
their real estate, and the distance 0
! their places of residence from the hous'
