That Sentence OF seven WORDS.

First of all, then, VIC must keep before
the people that a liquor dealer is a crimi-
nal-a criminal! We will not let down
our standard one single inch for any man,
no matter if he is a processing Christian
and votes for the legalization Of the rum
traffic. We will still insist that the man
who engages in the drink traffic is a GRIM
inal against God and against man. We
stand with our honored Bishop, whom |
have already quoted, and We say that a
dye, and that he deserves a place only In
the felon's dock, in the felon's cell, and if
need be, on the felon's gibbet. We take
II stand on the high ground that was
held by the Episcopacy of the Methodist
church in that great address that they
have just given to the General Conference
being held in this house. | have had cause
all my life TO thank God for the E~piscopacy
of the Methodist Episcopal church. Ihayc
looked up to the Bishops of my church
with reverence; and it has been the JOY of
my life to exercise my ministry under
their direction and their appointment.
| say to you, my friends, that never in my
life have | felt so proud of the Episcopacy
of the Methodist Episcopal church as ! do
to-day. There is just one short sentence,
containing seven words-and you know
seven is 4 sacred number-one short SEN
tence that contains seven words. ! don't
know whether the man who wrote that
men write words sometimes that are greater
than they designed to write-but am nm
der the impression that the Divine Spirit
inspired the heart and moved the pen that
wrote that grand sentence, that is To be
the motto in this country until the rum
shop is known no more. That one sentence
is this: ut can never be legalized without
sim These are the heights, my brethren
in the ministry, to which our Bishops have
led us. Let us thank God. "A voice
Amen,l They have led ms mp to this
mountain height, where the air is clear,
and the sky is cloudless. There are no
mists here. There is no mingling of light
with. darkness here. That one short,
crisp sentence says at can never be
legalized without sin" Applause
How is the drink traffic legalized? You
answer: 1t is LOCALIZED by the Legislature.
Then l say the Legislature that legalizes
that drink traffic is a sinner against God
and against men. If the statement made
by our Bishops is true, that man that sits
in the Legislature and votes for the enact
ment of the license law is a sinner against
God and against morality.
The Legislatures are made mp through
the organization Of political parties. Polit-
zeal parties make platforms. And / say
that if this statement be true, every politi-
cal party that in convention assembled
makes a platform that proposes to legalize
the rum traffic, is a sinner against God.

The signatures of one-tenth the voting
population of Mercer county have been op-
tanned to a petition for an election lor
local option, but Chief Justice Beasley mas
decided that the petition was prepared zoo

same purpose are in circulation i'll Atlantlc

of the Chief Justice.

An order for holding a special election
in Warren county on September 4, to de-
| cid for "license" or "no license, y was on
Tuesday granted by Chief Justice Beasley,
under the provisions of the local option
| bill passed last winter. Ex-Congressman
Henry s. Harris, representing the Liquor
dealers Association, opposed the order,
claiming that the law was unconstitntion
al. The principal reasons given were;
| Because the act embraced more than one
object: that the title was defective, and
that the general election law was made
part of the act, and was not set forth in
full. The Chief Justice decided that he
could not do otherwise than make the or
der, and that the only way to try the le-
gality of the act was to test the validity OF
the election. He refused to grant a writ
of eertiorari, because that would prevent
holding an election this year.
AT the Methodist Conference on Wednes-
day Bishop Andrews asked the conference
to interpret the recently enacted law touch
ing the pastoral term Of five years, so that
it might be made clear for administration
during the quadrenninm. To this end DR.,
Wheeler, Of Erie, presented the following
resolution, which was passed "The new
| rule of pastoral service shall be applied as
follows At the session Of any Annual
| Conference next following this General
| Conference, a preacher may be appointed
to a charge which he has not served for the
three years preceding, and be continued
thereafter in said charge for five years; and
a pastor now serving a charge which he
had not served for three years preceding
his present pastorate may be continued
through a full term of five years. In all
other cases the rule of five years in ten
shall be strictly applied.

..Home. Chnrch ana state

To say that woman suffrage will subvert
''the home, the church and the State, is
to imply that these institutions are all
based upon the absolute authority of one
sex over the other, as their corner stone.
The advocates Of woman suffrage believe,
on the other hand, that this absolute au-
thority is incompatible with the perfect de-
veIopment either of the homo, the church,
or the State, because governments derive
their just powers from the consent of the
governed, " and the only known method Of
giving political consent is by the ballot; of
the church, because in the ideal church or
the future there shall be neither Jew nor
Greek, there shall be neither bond nor free,
there shall be neither male or femalc;" of
the home, because, az Charles Kingsley
said, wherever a man and wife are really
happy together, it is by ignoring and de-
spising, not by asserting, the subordina-
tion of woman to man" And we believe,
moreover, that all this is only "a closer APP
plication of the Christian doctrine to the
home, the church and the state. ~ O-
mans Journal.

The State Treasury is at so low an ebb
by reason Of legislative appropriations that
the State authorities are embarrassed by the
demands of creditors. The situation, of
course, is not serious, as the States credit
is good for any amount Of loans, but tie
State officers are averse to borrowing any
thing in addition to the debts already con
tracted. Their policy instead is to keep
down expenses as much as possible. And
with this in view Governor Green, it is
said, is seriously considering the advisa-
bility of declining to order the publication
in the newspapers of the laws passed at the
late Legislative session. They ave boon
printed in two Trenton papers, and nearly
100 other papers are waiting to be designa-
ted. The duty of designating the papers
belongs to the Governor and the Comptrol-
Ter. The latter Processes to be willing to
name the list as usual, but the Governor
is considering whether the law directing
the publication is mandatory or not. The
expense entailed would be about $75, 900.
There is also some talk Of abandoning the
annual encampment of the State militia at
Sea Cart this summer with the view of
keeping down expenses.

Methodisss and Temperance.

The discussion in the Methodist Confer
ence last week on the temperance question,
was completed by the passage of the fol-
lowing resolution, which was ordered placed
in the Discipline of 1888 =
We arc unalterably opposed to the en-
actmcnt Of laws that propose by license,
taxing, or otherwise, to regulate the drink
traffic, because they provide for its contin-
uance and afford no protection against its
ravages. We hold that the proper atti-
tude of Christians toward this traffic is one
of uncompromising opposition, and while
VIC do not presume to dictate to our people
as to their political utilization, we do express
the opinion that they should not permit
themselves to be controlledby party organ
~izations that are managed in the interest of
the liquor traffic. We advise the members
Of our Church to aid in the enforcement of
such laws as do not legalize or endorse the
manufacture and Intoxieants to be used as
beverages; and to this end we favor the or
ganization of Law and Order Leagues
wherever practicable. We proclaim as our
motto, voluntary total abstinence from all
intoxicants as the true ground of personal
temperance, and complete legal prohibition
of the traffic in intoxicating drinks as the
duty of civil government.

Oh. no.! high license does no good. It's
a compact with Satan, and an agreement
with Sheol. Yet the License Court in
Philadelphia nave cHt down the number of
retail drinking places from J, 773 to 1,346.
Oh, yes, high license is a failure. The sys-
tenn is a league with the fellow in the lower
regions Constitution.
We know you don't mean the above, Bro.
Barber, but its true, every word, all tho
same. just what particular good the High
License Court has done in emitting down the
number of retail places in Philadelphia is
not apparent on the surface. Wait a year,
and see what the sun total OF arrests for
drunkenness, and of crimes, the result of
rum, may be in that time, before getting
happy over the ''cutting down" Aud, by
the way, why were the 1,34G left? If
rum is a bad thing, why were 1,31G
places left where it might be sold under
protection of law ? IL it is a good thing is
it not a fragrant oppression of the people
to wipe out the other 4,427 places where
they had been accustomed to obtain il ?
The question Of rnm-seliing must be set
tied with regard to its moral aspect and
will never be settled until the moral sense
of the people is so far educated as to out
law the traffic in toto. Every attempt to
defend license in any form, high or low, is
a begging of the question.
