UNANIMOUS VERDICT FROM BOTH SIDES OF
THE SEA.
"IHiS is the most helpful book on the Sabbath"
The following are specimen opinions:
Joseph Cook. The most helpful volume
ever read on the subject"
Miss Frances E. ViLLdrd: The book out
ranks all others on this vital theme.
President AngeU, of Michigan University:
1t contains the most valuable collection Of
facts concerning the methods OF observing
the Lords Day which have seen.
W. M. r. Round, National Prison Associa-
ton: 1t sums up all that is worth keeping
in previous discussions.
The s. s. Times: such a practical common
tary upon the Sunday question is not to be,
found in any other manual, English or
American.
The Congregdttonalist: 1t is certainly the
best work that has appeared on the Sabbath
as practical question.
National Temperance AdUOcate: 1t is The
most portant recent contribution to the
literature of Sabbath observance.
DR.. John NJ. Ferris, Editor of IltelHgencer'
1t is the book in defense and advocacy of the
Lords Day.
Prof. 4. A. Hodge in the Presbyterian Re-
view: AS 'CoX's Literature of the Sabbath
Question: in two volumes, is an almost 4-
hauStiVe preSen tation Ofthe history of opln-
ton and of the literature of the past on the
great question OF Sabbath observance so this
book of Mr.. Crafts is unique as repository
of information to the present state OF
Sabbath opinion and observance over the
nominally Christian world. The 1nforma-
ton has been collected by a stupendous cor,
respondence with representative men in all
parts of the world. The resulting general-
cations are represented to the eye by map
of the world shaded to represent the com
parative degree of strictness with which the
Biblical view of this great institution IS
maintained. The book is exceedingly valu-
able, and is strongly on the right side. .,

Neither For Nor Against.

The Republican Executive COM
mittee of Ohio have officially de-
clared that their party is neither
for nor against Prohibition. On
this important and irrepressible
issue the party is neither "hot nor
cold" and because it is neither
hot nor cold" is sure to be "spewed
out" of the peoples mouth.
In the same line Mr.. Foraker is
"neither for nor against" anything
that affects the wishes of the saloon
element.
At Bellevue, the Prohibitionists
asked him if he was opposed to the
keeping open of beer gardens and
saloons on Sunday, in the large
cities. Judge Foraker answered -
"There is a law on our statute
books prohibiting the keeping open
of saloons on Sunday; the statute
is there, and I have no objection to
you enforcing the law whatever.
Has Mr.. Foraker no opinion of
his own on matters of right and
wrong? Is he neither for nor
against anything but the election
of Foraker and defeat of Hoadly ?
On the liquor question, Mr..
Hoadly is more bold and bad than
Mr.. Foraker, as he frankly takes
the side of the saloon against Pro-
hibition. That is, he is more bold
and bad, if it indeed be any worse
to be found down with the bad boys
in the melon patch, robbing the
West Virginia freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1881-1886, 1885-10-07
AMONG OUR EXCHANGES.
Their Notions and Ours.

Hoadly is against prohibition
and is favor of a graded license.
Leonard is for prohibition, pure and
simple, and Foraker is on the fence
and does not seem to know exactly
what he is for.-Kanaaoha Gazette.
Q yes, he does know exactly
what he is for; he is tor votes and
any way to get them, just as Hoad-
ly is, regardless of all matters of
right, justice and interests of the
people.
st. John, the fraud, formulated a
good deal more than he Illuminated.
He seemed to feel that he was not
earning the still-slop he and Leon
ard are feeding upon.-Como. Gazette.
This is the style Of argument a
great journal uses against the prin-
ciple Of prohibition.
Every Republican voter who
casts his ballot for DR.. Leonard,
casts it for Gov. Hoadly, as Leonard
does not stand the ghost of a chance
of election.-Marietta Leader.
Every editor who makes such a
cowardly argument and appeal as
above, states palpable-no such a
thing, and breaches a pusilani-
NOUS surrender of principle to
party.
The Woman's Christian tenn per-
ance convention met in the Ka-
awha Presbyterian church Thurs
day.-State Tribune.
This is all the Tribune had to say
of the two days discussions and
splendid evening meetings Of the
Charleston w. G. T. U. Convention.
The dog and wildcat fight COM
manded great deal more consid-
Grafton.
The temperance program carried
out by the Baptist Sunday School
on Sunday last, was quite instruc-
tive and interesting, Rev.. Fream
took an active part and made a
short spicy speech, we'll adapted to
the occasion.-Presto9o Journal.
Bro, Fream is always at the front
in the conflict OF the Home against
the saloon,
Rev. H. G. Haskell delivered an
able sermon onTemperance, Sunday
evening, to his congregation. He
has delivered several sermons on
this subject during the past few
months, and always has good au-
diences when Temperance is an
naunced for his subject, Marietta
Register.
And so the battle for the Home
gees on. From the pulpit, from
the rostrum, press, freside-from
every point of attack, the aggressive
war is being pushed with renewed
zeal and determination.
We have no use for DR.. Leonard,
&c.-Marietta Register.
No, your city is like ours, SO
bound hand and foot by saloon rule,
that without change for the bet
ter, it will soon have little use for
anything that is pure and good and
noble.

meeting that she expected to have
Mrs. Buell. spend one month in
West Virginia, and those who
wished her services would please
send to her at once that she might
be able to make cut the route in
time.
Mrs. Buell. stated that at each
place she hoped they would plan
for meeting of the ladies in the
afternoon. Convention then ad-
iourned with Doxology and Ben
ediction.
FRIDAY EvENING.-CLosINGA ADORE g.
SEES OF THE CONVENTION.
In the evening large congre-
CATION assembled to hear the clos
ing addresses of the Convention.
After several choice selections by
the choir, Mrs. Buell. was presented
to the eager audience and in her
earnest, pleasant, eloquent man
ner, presented and urged the work
as it is carried on by the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union.
After another selection by the
choir, the audience listened with
deep interest to poem, "The
March of the Drunkard Army" by
1. H. johnson.
The claims of the w. G. T. U.
for financial aid were responded to
by the good people OF Charleston
in the splendid collection that fol-
lowed.
RISING THANKS TO MRS. BUELL..
At the conclusion of the services
the Pastor of the church, Rev. J.
NJ. Stanley, rose and made an ear
nest plea for the w. c. T. u, and
spoke of the enjoyment and profit
gained by having these earnest
workers among us. He especially
emphasized the great treat the
people of Charleston had enjoyed
in having Mrs. Buell. with them at
this Convention, and thought all
the audience would like to testify
their appreciation of her visit and
labors of love, and SO asked that
they express this feeling by a ris-
ing vote. Gladly and promptly the
erltire audience rose to their feet,
and Mrs. Buell. gracefully acknowl-
edged the compliment.
Services closed with the Doxol-
c1y and Benediction.
The excellent choir of this, the
Kanawha Presbyterian church,
have surely had the hearty thanks
of the Con vention and all in at
tendance, for the delightful music
furnished at both evening sessions
of the Convention. 1t is rarely
that we can have such rich treats
at our Conventions.
