MInisters, Association,

The Ministers Association of Portland
and vicinity met in the rooms of the I. M.
C. A. yesterday morning. The meeting was
oae of special interest and Importance.
Rev. c. II. Daniels was appointed tempo
rary chairman Prayer was offered by Rev.
w. III. Daniels.
A committee consisting of Revs. Messrs.
Dunn, Wright and Crosley was appointed to
draft resolutions concerning Sunday excur-
sions.
The following resolutions were presented
and adopted:
ResoLUed That we, the members of the Minis
ters' Association of Portland and vicinity, be-
iieying that the running of excursion trains and
boats on the Lords Day is a violation OF the law
of God and man, do hereby most earnestly and
respectfully request the managers oil our railroad
and steamboat companies to Withdraw and With
hold the same. .. :,
holding grove meetings. religious or other
mse of excursion trains or boats on the Lords
Dav, is harmful and destructive OF the sanctlty
of the day.
Rev. L. H. Hallock presented the follow
ing resolution, which also was adopted:
Resol,,ed. That the Portland city government be
earnestly solicited to take decisive actlon at as
early day practicable, to cause tne cnoslg go %
ali news Stands, cigar stores and groceries. anu
other places of secular trade on Sunday. thuS CO
0peratIng with us in the attempt to secure PEI
fer Sunday observance. To the same end we aiSo
desire the suppression of the practice OF tne
newsboys hawking Sunday papers ABOUT Ou n
Streets and that those who nold NcIualeIS
licenses be confined to their legitimate BUSINESS
These resolutions elected much discussion,
and drew out many startling statements con-
corning Sunday trade and travel. 1t was re-
ported from a knowledge of the facts that
many candy, cigar and news stores were
open and apparently doing a thriving pusi-
ness during a greater part OF each Lord
Day. Attention was called also to other
places of trade, where the violations OF Sun
day law were repeated and fragrant
1t appeared to be the unanimous opinion
that immediate steps should be taken to cor
rect a rapidly growing evil. The holding Oh
mass meetings in the interest of temperance
or other religious objects in groves, or parks
or pavilions, on the Lords Day, under such
circumstances as to necessitate or encourage
extraordinary Sunday travel was deprecated;
and the practice was by many pronoInG:eeo
Injurious to the common cause CT morallty
and religious growth. ..,,;oo
hfter full discussion of the various topics
the association adjourned to meet at the call
of fine secretary.

4 CLEAN RECORD,
And a Long and Faithful Service

And Q Long and Faithful Service.
 Thirty-six years ago last Saturday, June 26, MT John Cole made his first trip over the Housatonic railroad as brakeman on Conductor George Bridge mans train. It was night train, and MT Cole we'll remembers his first expe- rience in railroading. We cannot affirm that his hair stood up, but it certainly would had they made the present ex- press time between Bridgeport and Pittsfeld Conductor Cole is one of the most genial and popular conductors in New England and has grown gray in the company's service, having been out of their employ only comparatively short time during all these years. We think he has filled the position of conductor longer than any ether conductor now serving the company in that capacity. There are several older men in the com pany's employ, but all of the veteran conductors have either left the road, or have been retired from conductorship and given @ less responsible and easier position. The travelling public are sell fish enough to wish that Conductor Cole may not be given an easier position, for they do not wish to entertain the thought of missing his cheery greeting and cour- teous attention.

 The foregoing statement reveals de- plorable condition of affairs. Many in dustries in this country are paralyzed, or are not pushed forward with vigor, owing to the labor troubles. The labor question not only forces itself upon the business men, but it is also commanding the attention of the ablest jurists and the dearest and deepest thinkers of the country
 The home rule question and agitation not only shakes England to her very foundations, but is felt on this side of the Atlantic. What the public need is more light on these great questions. We understand that Dr Eddy has taken a deep interest in these questions; has kept fully posted on the progress of the contest and has studied into the merits of these questions as presented by their respective advocates. We should like to know what conclusion he has arrived at. If our space would permit we should urge him to give our readers the benefit of his Investigations, but that is impos. sible, yet the citizens of Canaan and vi. cinity earnestly wish Dr Eddy would soon deliver lecture on these great questions and give them more light on the subject.
