Paul's NJ. T.. church, Pennsgrove, on
Tuesday. In the morning the devotional
services were opened by Rev. T. G. Parker,
of the Emmanuel NJ. Il. church of South
Pennsgroye. At the close of this service
Rev. VIM. Mitchell gave a most hearty
and well chosen address of welcome, fol-
lowed by the president, Rev. C. F. Downs,
making a few opening remarks and re-
guesting everybody to express their views
on the great question now at hand. He
said as for himself he was a Prohibitionist,
and hoped before the meeting closed that
all within his hearing would be the same.
The minutes of tho last meeting were next
read and adopted. The secretary reported
that the past year had, in a sense, been a
! year of depression on account of the repeal
Of the local option law, but as there can
not be any real backward steps to a moral
| reform, so there cannot be to the eternal
principle Of right. The rum power is the
sworn enemy of the church of the living
God and all forms of good government,
and there is no need for doubt of its over
throw. The report of the work of the
various townships was excellent, and can
only be appreciated to its full extent by
those who were present.
The afternoon session was opened by
the President, and the following report of
| The committee on feS0iuJiODS was received.

Rev. Brunyate opened the General dis
cussion on temperance work. followed
by others throughout the audience until
it grew exceedingly interesting and the
time allowed for it seemed entirely too
short, as many were not permitted the
privilege of expressing their views.
The children's mass-meeting at 4 o'clock
was well attended and the talk and black
board drawings given by W. w. Barker,
General Secretary Y. NJ. c. A, Salem,
could not ave been excelled. His audi
ence plainly showed that he was the proper
person to occupy such a position.
At the mass meeting in the evening the
audience room of the church was filled to
overlooking and the address made by Rev.
A. J. Gregory, of ~Sharptown, was excel
lent, showing that he was fully able to
handle the subject of temperance.

There has been con siderable talk in this
vicinity, since John N. Nixon lost Clement
Taylot's horse on the night of Sept. 26tn,
~intimating that said Nixon did an err
rand for me at Alloway in the shape of
buying beer and whisky. Allow me to
state that the person or persons who inti-
mate the above not only lie under a mis-
take but they themselves are liars, and ]
stand ready to prove it.
