The Penn's Grove record., 1888-10-13

Oh Tuesday evening in st. Paul's
church. Rev. W. Mitchell conducted
the praise services and Rev. W. N. Og-
born. of Bridgeport, preached from the
text: The Man of God"
On Wednesday morning after praise
services by Rev. W. Mitchell, Rev.
W. 5. Baruart read IL review Of the
Clrurch's relation to the subject Of tenn
perance from the beginning, and ended
by quoting the words of one of the Bis
hops who said the church was in favor
of prohibition and favored neither high
nor low license. Il. G. Lippincott
thought it the duty of members Of the
Church to fight the liquor traffic wliell-
ever and wherever an opportunity pre-
scented itself. Local option should be
sustained and every vantage ground
made secure until the manufacture and
sale of liquor was prohibited. Mr.. Og-
born thought members of the Church
could not consistently vote for any 9TH
er Than temperance men in sympathy
with temperance work. Mr.. West
wood said it was the duty of all to look
to the moral side of a thing even
though they had to live on less and it
was the duty of the Church TO take
hold Of this question with ungloved
HANDS. MI. Sooy read the Church dis
cipllne on the temperance question
which required total abstinence in the
individual and urged total prohibition
by the government. All efforts for
temperance were favored and license IN
any form opposed. Those who did not
live up TO the discipline were guilty Of
a culpable uifense and liable to expul-
sion from the Church.
q. W. Finlaw spoke on systematic
giving and read in the Church discipline
where l lis Hlade IL of the solemn Oh
legations of membership to give accord
%tribution's are depended upon the col
l%ections will be short. 1t is the duty
OF the Stewards to lind out what each
member would give and see to it that
it was given regularly.
Rev. j. X. Westwood next spoke OH
Reveals. He thought every Church
could have IA revival if the minister and
members only took the prayer of Ne
heiniah; "Open my way to labor for thee
Lord" If a member can't sing Or pray
he can show which side he is Oh, and
not only he leralds but witnesses for
Christ.
Mr.. Lippincott wanted every mem-
Der to feel they were ii part of the Church
and IA responsibility rests upon them to
.tlp the cause of Christ. Many had
ba~ckslidden because they had done
nothing.
Mr.. Sooy thought there would be 10
trouble i'll the Church or about revivais
if the minister was all light.
In the afternoon Rev. j. l.. SOoy
gave the most interesting instructions
to the convention on how he worked
among young people. He told how he
gave IA lesson from Il worm killing II
limb on il tee; on let your light shine,
from Il candle; On habit, from tying IL
boy with il spool OF cotton; oil the devil,
from snake ~rattles. He found organic
ing boys and girls $50 unions, giving
them something 10 do, oRM'YYee social
meetings, lectures, readings ald talks
Oh things oil interest and instruction to
entertain them was the best way to
hold them from the temptations Of the
world.
b. Z. Lippincott lectured Oh the
mode of worship Of the lsraelites and
explained their tabernacle by illustrate
charts.
In the evening W. A. Massey, of
Swedesboro, spoke on missions II es-
pecially what New Jersey Conference
had done i'll the past 20 years. In 1866
it gave SIS, 900 to missions; 1878, Sl4,
GU, which was not an actual decrease
because of the greater purchasing pow
er of money than just after the WAL;
1883, $4,000. The nations drink bill
is 800 millions of dollars and the gift
to missions 3d. 100000. Rev. f. r.
Brunyate, who followed gave some per-
sonaI experience. When at school i'll
England 81 of his class Of - agreed to
be missionaries. He was i'll India %
Years and sick 10 months of that time.
He went to Canada on his return and
finally came to New Jersey which he
thought was the best place in the world
because he had been treated so well
here. lie said there was usually a fall
ing off Of missionary money in Presi-
Dental election years. AS Il million
dollars had been appropriated he urged
ALI to not neglect their missionary con-
trihutions because they wanted to help
their party.
The convention was very interesting
and inst ructiVe to all present and un-
doubleday stimulate | some in church
work.
