PARTIsANsHIP, NOT TEMPERANCE
The Trustees OF the Brandy wine Summit
Camp Adopt Drastic Resolutions Reia-
tive TO the Exercises Held Yesterday.
Incidents OF the Day

The fact thst yesterday was given
over to the Prohibition party by the
Brandywlne Camp meeting Association
proved a stumbling book In the end.
rhe proceedings partook rather o. a
campaign for purely partisan purposes,
rather than for the Advancement of
temperance principles The arralgn.
ment OF the two great political parties
and the caustic references TO them by
the speakers, were not relished by the
members OF either Of the two, aud IL was
generally conceded that the meetings
were III advised, Go say the least.
One Of the objections made was that
the running expenses OF the camp were
paid by both Democrats aud Republi-
cans. and that they should be accorded
the same privileges as the third party In
being allowed to m0nopolizs a day for the
PRONUNCIATION Of their principles. The
feeling eliminated last evening when
the trustees met aud the following
resolutions were offered by Frank A.
Mitchell, seconded by Samuel a. Baynard
and adopted with only one adverse vote:
Whereas, The sacred tabernacle aud
Rltars Of the Brsndywine Summit Camp
have been deseorated by being mado the
forum by which designing political as
pirants, taking advantage OF the sacred
privilege granted them in advancing
their individual interest. and
Whereas, We believe that this will
result in serious injury TO the spiritual
welfare Of the camp, and
Whereas, We have the utmost conf
dence in our beloved Church, her mem
beIs and ministry, and we commend
those who refuse TO prostitute their high
and sacred calling for partisan purposes,
and 10 Is hereby
Resolved, That our miniatsr-in-
charge will not allow himself or his
associated brethren TO again lend them
selves as tools In the hands Of designing
parties, whose Efforts are lnimical 60 the
lspiritual welfare aud the cause Of Christ
