well as to every consideration of
right, justice and civilization.
5. That the true solution of the
Liquor Problem is the complete le-
gal Prohibition and outlawry of the
abominable traffic-this to be
reached by agitation and education
in the home, in the church, in the
school, and on the hastings, and
to be sealed and made effectual by
the determined ballots of free men.
6. That as true Christian citi-
zens, we dare not give our infiu-
ence, support and votes to any
candidate or party that refuses or
fails to declare for the Prohibition
of this great crime and curse, that
is at such fearful rate destroying
our people, laying waste our homes,
orippling the church, disgracing
and debauching our country, and
dishonoring, robbing and insulting
God himself.
7. That for the suppression and
destruction of this curse, we win
continue to preach, pray, work and
vote.
8. That as an indispensable help
er in this work, we earnestly COM
mend the West Virginia FREEMAN,
and urge all friends of Temperance
to subscribe for it, and do all they
can to extend its circulation.
The report was unanimously
adopted, after being discussed at
length by Revs. L. w. Holden and
b. Cade, Prof. Purinton, and 9th.
ers.
Rev. Cade assailed the Liquor
Traffic with especial force and fer
vor, as an infamous conspiracy, and
Prof. Purinton arraigned it as the
huge monster that was devouring
our material resources and destroy
ing the morals of the people.
1t was good meeting, the peo-
pie listening with intense interest
till very late hour.
The Association adjourned Thurs
day afternoon, after what was re-
marked generally, to be the best
meetings the body had ever enjoy
ed.
SOME SUPPLEMENTAL NOTES.
1t was not mere form, but a full
heart expression, when the Assoei-
alton unanimously thanked the
citizens of Cassville and vicinity
for boundless hospitality, the choir
for excellent music, and the Chat
taroi R. r. for half-fare rates.
Everybody's house in all that re-
gion was wide open with an urgent
invitation to enter and be at home.
Wayne county is truly land OF
Prohibition and peaches. In all
that region saloon is looked upon
as pest house, and they'll have
none of them.
The FREEMAN is under special
obligations to Mr.. Jay II. Northup,
Receiver of the Chattaroi r. p. Co,
for kindly courtesies. The dele
gates will not forget his personal
attentions in extending favors and
providing for their comfort and
convenience. When we get Rail-
road, we shall want Mr.. Nerthup
to run it.
Mr.. and Mrs. Beaire were SO. gen.
erous and profdse in their hospi-
tality, that we are sure they won't
mind the little matter Of hat that
was taken from the rack in place
OF an older one. Too much fried
chicken will sometimes make
man forget his own-hat.
The young folks of Cassville will
long be remembered for the excel
lent music furnished throughout
the sessions.
That was wise move in the AS.
ISOLATION to make a systematic eff
fort to secure a contribution for
missions from every member Of ev-
cry church, during the next year.
Rev. T. Hawkins was appointed TO
carry out this measure.
And now the conclusion of the
whole matter is this-wheneve
the Association is held on Big San
dy, we want to be there.
