q Whereas, In our judgment the
i Sabbath School as we'll as the
church at large should always be
found on the side of the right and
against the wrong; and,
Whereas, The liquor traffic is
i the greatest toe to the Sabbath

among the people; and,

the Sabbath School that does not
stand as a rock against the abomi.

train up generation pledged to
total abstinence, is missing one of
it's greatest opportunities for USE
fitness therefore be it,
Resolved, That with emphasis we
give expression to a conviction
which deepens with the passing
years, that every Sabbath School
should be in fact, and effect, Tenn

the rising generation for active
and aggressive effort in this and
every other department of Chris

Experts claim seasickness can he

Experts claim seasickness can be
regulated by system of breathing.
One must sit still and breathe regu-
larly and freely according to a fixed
plan: Time your breathing to the up
ward and downward motion of the
boat. AS the boat falls there should
be a full expiration, and as the boat
begins to rise start on an inspiration,
ending just as the boat starts to drop.
1t is an easy plan to follow and will
make you laugh at the idea of being
sick, unless you have stomach so
weak as to be affected by the swaying
of an elevated train or boat on short
and smooth ferry.

reasons for ita In the first place, labor is
more effective in this country. The Amer
lean laborer produces more than the for

that his superior industry, his superior
skill, his superior diligence, enable him to
produce more in the same time than does
the laborer in any other country in the

here than any where else and can be bet

better educated, more intelligent, than
laborers elsewhere, and, therefore, they
can take better care of their own interests.
That is an immense reason why they are

To the Christian People Of Memphis;
Two young men were arrested on sun
day evening. at the corner Of Washington
and Front streets, while holding IN open
air gospel meeting. That they were ar
rested is not strange ut all, for people
in all ages have been prosecuted. To the
credit Of our city government, be IT said
that the young men were discharged by
Mr.. MADDEN with the remark that when
they desired TO hold another meeting they
should secure n permit from Chief Davis,
and 30 long as they did not obstruct the
sidewalks they should not he molested.
They committed no crime in this instance
and wore discharged. So much for the ar
rest and the outcome OF IT,
Yesterday morning the hrdidnctc con-
tanned an account of the arrest. The item
was read by many, no doubt, who thought
IL was the production Of smart brain, rs
il was written In flppant aud irrevercnt
style aud intended ~ fling ut religion,
and contained some points that were mis-
quoted, rs will be seen from Mr.. Babbs'
statement, which will be published in this
