REsoLvED.-That approaching the grand
possibilities of Mountain Lake Park as
resort, and the helpfulness to our work of
the Conference, We each promise to bring
these more prominently to the notice of
pleasure and health seekers generally and
10 friends of the w. c. T. U.
z That we urge the Importance OF more
general attention being given to banding
Inc children into Loyal Temperance Legfons
warning them against the danger of the twin
evils of tobacco and the drink habit and
The temptations OF the traffic,
). That in our work for the Home,we urge
parents TO inculcate, by precept and eX-
ample, the sacredness of the marriage rela-
ton, and a uniform standard of purity for
men and women, and that they forewarn
their children against the vicious presenta-
lions Of physiological facts by teaching
these themselves, carefully and reverent1y;
also, that we endeavor to secure from our
legislative bodies laws for the better pro-
Cect1on of virtue as well as for better and
more uniform marriage and divorce laws.
f. That since the platform of the National
froh1bition Party is in harm ony with the
creed of she WoTan'S christian Temper
ance Union, we hereby pledge our aid IN

Address by DR.. A. B. Leonard OF
New York.
For sweeping logic, scathing in
dictment and powerful appeal, DR..
Leonard's address was the sensation
of the Conferences. FREEMAN read
ers shall have the benefit of copious
notes of telling points in future
Issues.
The simile of the giant Upas
Tree OF the Liquor Traffic was pre-
sented with most thrilling and con-
vincing force the tree with its
great roots, striking down through
the nations mmercial, agricultu-
raj, social and political interests,
with its dark overshadowing
misunderstanding theirharve sts f
fruitage in crime, poverty, suffering
and woes Unreasonable.
The Prohibition ak, with a Pro-
hibition party to WELD 1t, is the
only means of destroying this dead
ly Upas Tree,
The address was full of startling
truths, such as"rhe ministry must
preach Prohibition politics. No
Christian man has Il right Ia 49,
long to party 40 In favor of Pro.
hibition- The Liquor Traffic is
essentially murderous aud helliah
at the heart
The Repu blican and Democratic
parties both repudiate the only ak
that can cut down the tree, and
there's nothing lett but for all true
men to come into the party that
will. WELD the Prohibition ak.
General Fisk
Was again called out and delight
ed the audience with one of his
most happy impromptu speeches.
Among other good things he said
he knew of nothing more pitiable
than a minister with back bone
like an angleworm.
Rev G. II. Mead of the Quartet
took the platform and secured the
best collection of the Conference.
He even excelIed himself, asking
for $50 and getting $50.
In the evening there was another
Free Parliament
With Rev. L, E. Peters of Clarks-
burg, W. Va. as the leading speak
or, and DR.. A. B. Leonard conduct
ing the Question Box.
The opening speech was bold
and aggressive on the front line
of Prohibition politics, and the
questions on parties, policies and
methods, brought out every phase
OF the live issues of the day.
There is no room here to give in
detail the many interesting fea-
lures Of the evenings discussions,
The Quartet made things lively
with their songs throughout all
the sessions of the day.
