3SAYwooD PLACE, BOSTON June 10, 1890.
On the 29th Of March, 1890, I was taken with
an apoplectic shock so bad that l lost the entire
use Of my right side, speech and mind, and was
carried to one of the largest hospitals in Boston,
where remained week with no gain, and my
death was expected daily by the physicians. My
brother-in- law having received much benefit from
the use of Murdoek's Liquoid Food when he had
the Rheumatic Fever, when he found that my
life was despalred of at the hospital by the pbysl
clans, carried me home and gave me MuIdocks
Liquid Food, on which 1 commenced TO gain
rapidly, and at this date have recovered my sight,
speech and the use of all my limbs, and walk with
out assistance, say half mile at a time. My
friends aswell myself, realize that my life has
been saved by your Liquid Food. as have had
no medical treatment since leaving the hospital
and was growing worse every day / remained

The country town has spoken, and in nj
uncertain tone either. The South Buckfeld
correspondent of the Oxford Democrat

corresponding Oh tn6 OXIOrQ Democrat
writes thus to that paper:
There was but one vote in the Democratic State
convention from Oxford County upon the ques-
ton OF resubmlssi0n of the prOhibitory amend
ment and that vote was for Prohibition Hurrah
for old 0xfordi Democrats OF Maine we blush for
you. You might as well attempt TO overturn our
state government as to repeal our system Of pro-
hpltory laws. No law Is more intrenched in the
commence and affections Of the people of Maine
than our prohibitory laws. The contest in Maine
TINS year involves the question of prohibition or
license. We hope that Harry Clifford, John p.
BASS and That cotorie will hear response from
the rural towns In September that they will have
cal principles of Thomas Jefferson but hope that
does not include licensed runsellers In our rural
towns.
Mr.. Clifford has no organ in which to re-
fleet what he hears; but "Johu" P. Bass has,
and those who have listened to its sad minor
key for the last few days have come to the
conclusion that he has already heard from
the rural towns. At all events the Bangor

WASHINGTON. April 2S.-Tlre Unit
cd States Supreme Court, through
Chief Justice Fuller, to-day rendered
an opinion adverse to the constitutions
ality of State laws providing for the
seizure Of liquor brought into the State
in original packages. Such laws, the
Court holds, are an interference with
interstate commerce. After the liquor
becomes the property of the importer,
the State may, under its police powers,
regulate or prohibit its sale, but it has
no power, in The absence OF express
Congressional authority, to prohibit
the transportation of an article from
another State and its delivery to the
importer.
Revision will he the great question
before the General Assembly Of the
Presbyterian Church which meets at
Sara, oga next month. The subject has
been ably discussed in the Preshyteries
and through the press. According to
The Intlezcndcnt, which has carefully
ascer'aiDed the facts, the Prcsbytrries
already reported have voted in favor OF
revision in the proportion of two to
one.

JOSIAH w. LEEDS

The New York Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church has clear
ly affirmed its position with respect to
the allied evils of theater-going and
dancing. We know where the Metho-
dist Church generally stands i'll rela-
ton to liquor-drinking. Where are
they as to the great evil of war? DO
they hold with Wesley, who said
"Shall Christians assist the Prince OF
He'll, who was murderer from the be-
ginning, by telling the world the bene-
fit of warp" And do they stand by
Adam Clarke, where he pointedly as
serts that "war is as contrary to the
spirit of Christianity as murder; moth
ing can justify nations in shedding
each others blood"
Ought Christians TO act on this faith
and practice now, or are they to 90
right along with the worlds estimate
of fighting and self-defense, and leave
the testimony 10 assert itself in a mil
lennium of the future when there shall
be no cross-bearing, no self. denial III
echoing the Christly declaration MY
kingdom is not of this world were
my kingdom of this world, then would
my servants fight" The primitive
Christians for three centuries fully be-
lieved and practiced just this. Con-
stantine, Iii formal way, embraced
Christianity, but in laying hold of the
Bible with his left hand, he made sure
that he and his legions had good
grip of sword and spear with the right.
Whittier in this matter does the Ho-
ly Spirit lead us? Meekly to stand
with Christ, the apostles, the disciples,
and the believers of the first three CEN
turies, or to train with Constantine
and his martial successors, and, para
phasing and altering the Divine COM
mandment, stoutly say: "If thy ene-
my smite thee, smite back, and if he
thrust at thee with the sword, kill
him. ~ What are the arguments Of
those who are clamorng for a great
navy worth, when read in the same
hour with the Sermon on the MOunt?-
