The Methodists and Temperance.

The following is the complete report of the
committee on temperance of the Methodist
Conference:
the liquor traffic and its inevitable product
| the drinking saloon are the most gigantic and
| formidable foes of our Christian civilization
| the sworn, bitter and persistent enemy of the
Gospel Of Christ; the destroying angel, blast
ing the home, and social life; the worm that
never dies and the unquenchable fire, eating
away and consuming by lingering torture the
very life of the nation; the personifcati0n
of almost all evil, paralyzing the right arm
of the church; the deadly miasma injecting
all the vital sources of social Chritian life;
the many headed monster crushing beneath
his iron heel, and strangling with his demo-
niacal grip the great parties of the land,
which lie so PROSTATE and helpless in the
tolls OF the rum power, that the tears, signs
and pleadings of the agonized wives, moth
ers, sisters and daughters of its victims.
even when voiced by the most benefcient
and heayenborn organization Of the Wom-
ans Christian Temperance Union fail to dis
turb the sea of political agitation aud strife
for party power by so much as single rip
pie OF compassion, or provoke. one effort
frOm:either Of them for the prohibition of
the liquor traffic or the suppression of the
liquor saloons.
prohibition of the liquor traffic is the most
important and vital issue before the Ameri-
can people.
The improvement of the navy, the coast
defence, the fish question, the s0-called civil
service reform, the much mooted tariff ques-
ton, all sink into comparative insignifcence
when considered beside this question. Yet
past experience has more than demonstrated
that any hope of securing prohibitory legis-
lation from either of the two great national
parties in their present attitude must prove
aboritive and worse than useless; and
Whereas, The supporters of the rum power pro-
tect it by refusing to vote for any party or per-
son committed to prohibition therefore
Resolved, That we will not support, in national,
State or municipal elections, any party or person
mitted to the principle and practice of prohibit

D. Appleton & Co.

Since it has been announced that the Port
land Agency OF d. Appleton & Co., in this
city, was to be closed, certain persons work.
Ing for A. ]. Johnson, have reported that they
had driven d. Appleton & Co. from the field
through competition with the revised"
johnson Cyclopedia. 1t is simply justice to
the public and subscribers of "The Ameri-
can Cyclopedia." to say that the only reason
for closing the Portland Office is a desire to
consolidate the New England business in the
Boston Office, go Franklin street, believing
that the change viii be to the advantage of
the subscribers as well as to the firm. The
business of the Portland Office for the past
year has largely exceeded the sales. of the
previous ten years. The change is to be of
personal advantage to myself and rather
than appoint stranger as his successor to
carry on the business, the firm have con-
cluded to concentrate the entire business in
the Boston Agency. SAM STARK.

NOW MEN DIE.

II we know all the methods of approach adopt
ed by an enemy we are the better enabled TO ward
off the danger and postpone the moment when
surrender becomes inevitable. In many instances
the inherent strength Of the body suffices to ena-
BILE it to oppos the tendency toward death. Many
however, have lost these forces to such an extent
that there is little or no help. In other cases,
little aid to the weakened Lungs viii make all
the difference between sudden death and many
years of useful life. Upon the first symptoms Of
Cough, Cold, or any trouble OF the Throat or
Lungs, give that old and well known remedy
