TaE CAMPAIGNING,
The Committee on Sabbath 0bsery.
anCe made It's report, which was sub.
stantially the report OF last year. A com.
mittee from the Campmeeting Associa.
tion was atConierenco and met the Sab.
bath Committee and seemed anxious 10
secure an adjustment OF the difficulty.
The arrangement agreed upon Ia as fol-
lowsi The gates oil the grounds are 10
be closed promptly at 0 o'clock, sun
time; there are 10 be no Sunday trains
TO the grounds, except one early train
from wheeling to bring down those who
could not find entertainment on the
grounds over night. The Camtmeeting
Association is to request the railroad
companies not to run trains other than
the one named to the grounds on Sun.
day. The Conference reinforces Che as.
soCiation by the following resolution:
" "ReS0lUed, That the Secretary OF Con.
ference be authorized to inform the rail.
road companies concerned, that this
Conference earnestly joins with the
hloundsville Campmeeting Association
In the reQuest that there be no Sunday
excursion trains 10 the grounds OF this
association during the meeting; and fur.
ther, should the request OF the Qssocla.
tion be refused, this Conference, In order
To be consistent with itself, with the
action OF the General Conference and
with the word Of God, cannot attend the
campmeeting."
Itis to be hoped that this adjustment
OF the trouble will prove efectual and
permanent. The old camp ground at
Moundsyllle is a dear spot to many Of
the ministers, and they would be sorry II
anything like permanent alienation Of
the Conference and the management
should occur. II now looks as II by the
carrying out OF the plan outlined above,
that perfect harmony will prevail.
TEMPERANCE REPORT.
A ringing temperance report was read
aud adopted. The conference maintains
that nothing will prove an adequate
remedy for this great evil other than
State and National prohibition Of the
manufacture and sale. OF intoxicating
drinks TO be used as a beverage.
The Committee ou Education reported
the Conference Seminary at BuCkhan.
non as progressing satisfactorily, and
will be completed in q few months. The
only thing that stands In the way OF the
success OF the enterprise Is a lack Of sup.
port OF the wealthy laymen Of the State.
The usual complimentary resolutions
were passed, and after the reading Of
the appointments, the Conference ad.
journed with the doxology and the bene'
dlction.
Following are the
