QUINCY, February 81, 1919.
DEAR SIR:
thank you tor your address
to the New Bedford Auxiliary So
ciety for the suppression of intern
perance, which l have read with
pleasure and edification. It abounds
in ingenuity and information, it
is elegant and pathetic; it is pi-
Gus and virtuous; it addresses it.
self to the understanding and the
heart.
A drunkard is the most selfish
being in the universe. He has no
sense OF duty, or sympathy or af-
lection with his father or mother,
brother or sister, his friend or neigh
Dor, his wife or children; no rever-
ence for his God; no sense of tu.
turity in this world or the other
all is swallowed up in the mad,
selfish JOY of the moment.
Is it not humiliating, that Ma
hommedans and Hindoos should
put to shame the whole Christian
world, by their superior example
of Temperament Is it not de-
grading to Englishmen and Amer.
leans that they are SO infinitely
exceeded by the French IN this
cardinal virtue? And is it not
notifying beyond all expression,
that we Americans should exceed
all other eight millions of people
on the globe, as 1 verify belle We
we do, in this degrading, BEAST y
vice of intemperance?
[ am, Sir, your obliged friend
and hum BILE servant.

Sound Temperance Report adopted
Unanimously.

OsN>'"e"SNSoSS
The Parkersburg Baptist Associ-
alton was held with Tygart's
Church, Wednesday and
Thursday, August 18th and 18th.
The sessions were largely attended
and full of interest.
Among the prominent visiting
brethren, were DR.. N. S. Burton
of DennisQn University, Ohio, Pro
lessor F. S. Lyon, and Rev. L. E.
Peters, representing Broaddus Col
lege, Rev. W. E. Powell, State and
Home Mission, and Journal &, Mes
srnqer, D. T.. c. Farrow, Sunday
School Missionary, and others.
On Wednesday evening, at a
Temperance Mass Meeting session,
the standing Committee submit
ted the following:
REPORT ON TEMPERANCE,
Since the last meeting of this AS
ISOLATION, the progress of Temper
ance sentiment, not only within
our own boundaries, but through
out the civilized world, has been
constant and rapid.
One more State has placed its w.
to upon the saloon traffic; counties
and towns by hundreds, all over
the land, have taken the same &C.
ton; number of Legislatures
have provided for Scientific Tenn.
perance Instruction in the public
schools; the Christian Church has
taken a more advanced and un-
compromising attitude than ever
before, and the revolt of the press
against the tyranny of the saloons,
is daily growing broader and deep.
er,
In the past, Temperance work
has seemed much like simple pro-
test against wrong which must
be endured. Now it is a practical
movement TO strike the evil to the
ground, and success is plainly
within the reach of earnest en-
deavor.
Is the Baptist denomination
ready to accept the responsibility,
which, as an organization for the
moral Improvement and salvation
of mankind, this condition of af
fairs places upon it2
Our General Association has the
honor ct having made the first Or
gained movement in the agitation
for Prohibition in West Virginia;
may the denomination never fall
ter until the work is complete.
Your Committee recommend the
adoption of the following Resolu.
tions:
l. That it is the duty of our legislators, as
servants of the people, to comply at once
with the popular demand for vote upon
the question of Constitutional Prohibition
IL. THAT Christian voters cannot consist
emily support candidates or parties which
stand in the way of the complete suppress
sion of the saloons.
LII. That we consider the circulation OF
the FREEMAN and other Temperance litera-
ture, as indispensable to the success of the
cause.
Nv. That we pledge our earnest support
to the Womans Christian temperance
Union ia its present efforts to secure legis
lation for the preservation of social purity
and for Scientific Temperance obstruction
in the public schools.
Respectfully submitted.

w. E. POWELL.
The report was ably discussed by
DR.. Bur.on, Professor Lyon, Revs.
L. E. Peters, w. E. Powell, B. M
Stout, and others, and adopted
unanimously.
Rev. w. E. Powell submitted
the following, which was warmly
discussed by number OF brethren
and adopted without a dissenting
vote:
RESOLVED, That we deprecate the use OF
1ooaoco by Christian people, and more es-
peclally by our young people and pastors.

Bold ROhharN

On yesterday evening between the
hours OF 4 and O'Clock one OF the cool
est, barefaced robberies, which has
come under our notice for some time
took place at the grocery store Of Mr..
John u. Mueller, No. 500 South Flores
street.
While Mr.. Mueller was engaged In
waiting on some customers, a party Of
gentlemen came In and amused them
selves throwing dice for the beer, and as
soon rs the proprietor became disen-
gagged he also became interested and
Joined the party. Meanwhile two Mex
leans stopped with a wagon at the door,
and one Of them expressed q great de-
sire TO shake with them which request
was granted, and seeing that all hands
had their mind concentrated on the
game, gave the wink to his partner to
help himself which he did In good shape,
by first commencing loading up his
wagon with flour and did not stop until
he had nine sacks, and probably would
have taken of the whole store had he
not been prevented by the lady Of the
house, Mrs. Mueller, who invited her
husbands attention to the matter.
The gentlemen present were In favor
OF using violent measures with the ras-
Gals while Mr.. Mueller tried to telephone
for policeman, but from some cause or
other the instrument would not work
satisfactorily, and Mrs. Mueller, fearing
that her presence would be required in
a public court, as she was the principal
witness, pleaded for the scOundrels,
hence they were permitted to escape
after taking from them the stolen flour.
