Wisconsin undertakers want a coffin
| trust. The sentiment was so strongly
shown at the meeting of their association
in Milw aukee, last week, that a commit
tee was appointed to confer with the Ma
tional Burial Casket Ass ociation and en-
| deavor to so arrange that only legitimate
dealers shall receive caskets. The word
| Legitimate" was used to distinguish those
| who are way up in the degrees of under
| taking from that class which makes I'M
dertaking an auxiliary to the furniture or
some other business. If the committee
| is successful the association will go a step
further and attempt to prevent the estab-
lishment of new shops in places where
the field is covered
The forty-ninth annual convention of
Wisconsin Congregationalists, in session
at GAINESVILLE last week, adopted the fol-
| lowing temperance platform, reported by
the Rev. j. Frendley, of Eau Claire:
1. The convention having at former annual
meetings adopted and sent forth to the churches
| in it's minutes able elaborate, and exhaustive
reports prepared by the standing committee
upon temperance we do not d e3m it necessary
now to enter into the consideration of the evils,
causes, and cure of intemperance.
2. Recognizing the fact of continued danger
of intemperance to all the best interests of So
ciety, and moreover believing that those who
are engaged in the manufacture and sale of in
toxicating liquors never persistent
and determined than at the present time in
striving to perpetuate and enlarge their .ac-
cursed business; and besides being confident
that the success of the temperance reform de-
ponds in a large measure upon the earnest,
faithful efforts OF the church, we recommend
the adoption of the following resolutions
ResoJUed, That we advise all our churches and
pastors to carry on in some definite and sys-
tematic way temperance work, especially aim
ing in moral sTasion at total abstinence, and in
q legal way at entire prohibition.
Resolved, That we heartily reaffirm all the
deliverances of the convention in past years,
urging upon our churches and pastors the
Importance and duty of encouraging and sup
porting the temperance reform as part of their
proper and legitimate Christian work.
