MILFORD, April, AT yesterday
mornings session of the conference Rev.
). X. Maxwell was continued on trial, as
the charges against him were purely
personal. The Committee on Temper
ance made report through its chairman,
Rev. Alfred Smith. The committee re-
cognized the growing power of the liquor
traffic and opposed license as powerless
as a remedy, and f9vored local option
campaign, especially in the State of Del.
aware. The committee suggested the
appointment Of COMMITTEES Of nine
ministers and nine laymeu in the State
OF Delaware to take such steps as may be
necessary TO inaugurate a local option
campaign, and to assist in continuing
the struggle on this line until success is
achieved.
Rev J. ID. Kemp presented the minority
report, in which that portion Of the com
mittee held that the Church's province is
to inculcate the principles Of the gospel
men cannot be made morally and re-
ligiously better by force. and the Church
is nowhere authorized to employ pains
and penalties in spreading the gospel
The temperance question is a political
and religious question. Voluntary alb
stinenee is religious duty; the enforce
ment Of abstinence is a political measure
while we do not deem Il within the
province Of the Church to express any
opinion as to the best measures to be
taken by the state for the suppression of
the liquor traffic, we do declare, with
no uncertain sound, that this conference
stands where she ever has stood to pro-
claim temperance in all things and total
abstinence from all that is hurtful."
The report of the majority was adopted,
although many thought it made third
party, and they objected TO that. The
