Puzzled About the Time.

A prominent club man Of this city gave
card party last week. which proved SC
interesting that two of his guests did moi
cave until almost the crack of dawn.
Just before they left the house their host
pressingly urged them to dine with him
at clock on The same day. an invita-
ton which they readily accepted. Max.
ing their adieus they walked for some
distance down the street. stopped on the
corner, and were seen to stand in earnest
conversation for moment Then they
returned to the house, rang the bell, and
when their friend appeared, one of them
said. gravely:
Jack. you know you asked Fred and
me to dinner at Q. We got to talking
about it, and we couldn't just make out
whether you meant 0 this morning or 6

The freeman. (Parkersburg, W. Va.) 1886-18??, 1888-07-25
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED.

WHEREAS, 1t is the sense of the teachers
and scholars here assembled that the Rum
Traffic is so pernicious in all its bearings, so
1nmical to the interest of honest trade, so
repugnant to the moral sense, so injurious
to the peace and order of society, so hurtful
to the homes, to the Church, to the body
polite, and so antagonistic to all that is
precious IN life, that the only proper attl-
tude toward it for Christians is that of re-
Ientless hostility: therefore, be it
ReSolred, l. That we, as teachers and schol-
ars of the Sabbath Schools here assembled,
recommend that the ministers of the Gospel
preach against the evils of the drink habit.
2. That we recommend every Church in
the land to use its influence to suppress and
destroy the drink traffic.
3. That we recommend all Christians to
pray and labor against the monster, Rum!
4. That we recommend every good citizen
to use his influence and vote against the Ii
quor Traffic.
.. That we, as body of men, women and
children, believe that the Liquor Traffic can
not be legalized without sin, and we urge
that all possible means be used for its sup
preston, and viewing the success of Kansas
and other States in exterminating the Sa-
loon, We are in favor of State and National
PROHIBITION as the only sure remedy for
Inc great overshadowing curse.
3. That we beg every Christian man, wo-
man and child to pray Almighty Ged to
move the people against the evils OF drink
ana to labor for the ratification of the Pro-
hlpltlon Amendment i'll West Virginia.
The Temperance cause is growing
mere and you may expect great
vote T0r the Amendment.
Yours for Prohibition,
J. N BARCU5.

tor its strength, eloquence and fair.
ness. Itdifferedtrom many speech
es on the subject in that it was
fair and mild IN its treatment of
the temperance question and the
speaker was neither reckless nor
abusive in her remarks. An au-
dience os whiskey sellers could
have listened to her for an hour
and none been offended. Neverthe-
less, she made powerful argument
in favor Of Prohibition and gave
two hundred dollars to help the
cause along, one hundred for her
self and another hundred for the
w. C. T. U. Her line of argument
was against the law which per.
mitted the selling of whisky, and
not against those who engaged in
the business under the law. The
building was crowded to an un-
comfortable degree with an inter-
ested and pleased audience, who
sat through her speech highly
pleased and Observation-Disclosures.
