Prohibition Activity.

If Prohibitionists want encour-
agement let them go to their sworn
enemies for it. We find this bit of
good cheer in the Washington Sen
tinel, the leading liquor organ of
the country:
"The activity of the Prohibition
lists, says the New York Suo, in .l-
most every State, is one of the most
notable features of present politics,
and it may have an important ef-
feet upon the electious in some
States. In Pennsylvania the Pro-
hibitionists are preparing for hot
fight, and in New Jersey they have
already begun one. They are keep
ing up and strengthening their or
ganization in this State, where
their considerable vote for St.
John in 1884 and the abuse they
have received from the Republi-
cans for their contribution to
Brother Blaine's defeat, have shown
them their power"

Our special offer, as already an

If Prohibition sentiment is de-
veloped and crystalized into law, it
must be done largely through the
medium of Temperance papers.
To get these papers into fami-

The Party for COIored Voters.

We clip the extract below from
the columns of the Maryland Direc-
tor. an able journal published by
the colored people of the State.
REV. HARVEY JOHNSON.
In the editorial referred TO, in
speaking Of Rev. Harvey johnson,
whose eloqaence in the Maryland
Prohibition Convention, the FREE
MAN has before spoken of, the
Director says:
"Rev. Harvey Johnson, the pas
tor of North Street Baptist Church
in this city, is the first represent
alive colored man, who has cast
his future political fortunes with
the Prohibition party in this State.
Mr.. johnson is earnestly exerting
his characteristic zeal for the up
building of the new party of his
choice, and in an able speech few
Sunday afternoons ago, at Prohi-
bition meeting, said she could
pledge 200 votes for his party, from
his church" If the Reverend is
not mistaken in his calculation,
(and we hardly think he is) he has
done good work among his people
already, and by voting time may
be relied upon for twice that many
votes. 1t may be, after all, that
the Prohibition party is the party
for the colored voters. At any rate
it is a good "half-way ground" for
them"

wish to say that we were we'll
pleased with the teachers and
highly entertained by the program.
There were nearly one hundred
persons who left here on last Fri
day for Luray Cavern, at Luray,

The Camp Meeting began on Sat-
urday, at 1870 a. M. The meet
ings are we'll attended, and are of
unusual power.

your readers all that is being said
and done here. The able preach

experiences, make it very inspir-
ing and helpful. Several have al
ready entered into the blessing of
perfect love and many more are
seeking. Meeting was announced
on Sabbath morning at 8 o'clock,
which was largely attended. By
1880 the large auditorium was
well filled, and Mr.. Updegrat
preached with more than usual
earnestness and power. At two
o'clock Mr.. Hudson conducted a
children's meeting, which was at
tended by about four hundred PEG.
pie, and was very pleasing. I be-
lieve it was very helpful to the
children.
At 8 o'clock, DR.. Clark preached
one of his searching sermons. And
the altar service which followed
was productive of much good. AT
7 80 we met again and for a short
while engaged in earnest song.
The meeting was then given over
to Misses Kenny and Lizzie Smith.
They both spoke very earnestly
and the altar service was very sue.
cessful.
To-day (Monday) has been anoth-
day of blessing and power. DR..
Clark preached another of his
grand sermons this morning.
But most Of the day has been spent
in experience meetings, which have
been of great help to those in at

REPORT ON RESOLUTIONS.

REPORT ON RESOLUTIONS.
AResolued, That in the judgment
Of this Association the time has
come when the whole educational

with the primary district schools,
and ending with the Normal

heartily endorse and approve of
the efforts now making looking to
the accomplishment of this end.
Resolved, That a course of study
should be provided for the graded
and grammar schools of the State
and in addition to the regular
English course there should be
such an optional course provided
as will fit those completing it to
enter the State University.
RESOLVED, That in the opinion OF
this Association the Legislature
should, at its next session, make
such enactment as will secure in
all the public schools of the State
thorough instruction concerning
the physiological effects of alcohol
upon the human system, and
especially concerning the disas-
trous results of intemperance.
Resolved, That the use of the
Higher Arithmetic should be dis.
couraged in all grades of our
schools.

endorse the movement set on foot
by Superintendent Morgan to
establish Teachers Reading
Circle for our State; and that we
approve the course of study pre-.
pared by him for the same.

should consist of twenty days in
stead of twenty-five days as now
provided, and we call upon all
teachers throughout the State te
agitate for change of the present
law.

Association are hereby rendered to
Profs. Payne and Little, Mrs. Hart
Miss Pollock and DR.. DeHass for
their interesting and instructive
lectures before the Association.

The teachers were all delighted
with Mountain Lake Park, &c
