Reese n HOdsOn DISCUSS the
NJ. T.. Conference RcsOlua-
tiOns On the Liquor
Question.

The extremists in the Wilmington
NJ. L. Conference succeeded in rush
ing through resolutions on the liquor
traffic. one Of which reads something
like this:
We deplnrc the evils of the liIunr traffic
aud charge the Nv" leading polite parties
not only with "ignorins this importa nj ISIS
ne. but with wicked completely with the ar-
cursed traffic.
There are Il large number of the
strongest temperance men in the Ma
ton, who deplore the evils of the liquor
traffic, yet who do not affiliate with the
prohibition party, and at the same time
are among the most prominent and in
telligent members of the VI r. Church.
Even all the Bishops, Presiding Elders
and preachers-those in ecclesiastical
authority over us-,lo not affiliate with
the prohibition party. and they come
under the one general charge of "wick-
ed completely with the accursed traffic"
Ii the ministers who presented this res
olution and those voting for il, believed
the statement To he true. only one
course is open To them, and that is To
arrain all the members of their res
pective churches, not afiiliating with
the prohibition party, for trial and dis
miss them from church. To have men
in the councils Of the Church, who are
in 'Vickedcomplicity with the accnrsed
liquor traffic" is II disgrace To the church
and a reflection upon the cause OF
Christ. II they do not conscientiously
accept this statement and belief it to he
true, then they have misrepresented the
matter and reflected upon the religious
character OF those people who divide
their earnings with them and belittled
themselves - Cri.f;rH Lrnirr..

SwINDLING OUR OYSTER
MEN.

Many of our oystermen prefer to sell
their oysters delivered on the platform
to buyers rather than ship them to
commission men, as they can often get
more for them. There is also chance
Of their being swindled by dealers who
telegraph orders. Recently several
have been drawn into the nets OF a
certain Harris. OF Allentown. Pa, and
a man named Scott, of Bethlehem, Pa.
OF course these men ordered oysters
shipped TO them with the intention of
paying for the first receipts. hut they
did not intend to pay for those to follow,
and that is where our oysternen got
left. They bit at the silver bait eagerly
when il was first thrown out and when
the second line was thrown to them
they failed to notice there was no bait
ON the hook. until they had swallowed
it. To make long story short our old
friend, A. Gordy. of Girdletree, re-
ceived an order from these men and
got his money all right He then
received another order which Onley
Bros, Of the same place helped him To
fill. Messrs. Gordy Il Onley then con-
cluded they would go on with the ship
ment themselves just to see what kind
Of men they were dealing with. Ar
irving at Allentown, they soon found
out that Harris was noted beat and
prevailed upon the Lehigh Valley Rail
road officials TO deliver them the oysters
consigned to Harris. and they turned
them over to reliable commission
merchant At Bethlehem they found
Scott had an equally bad reputation
but they were unable to get their
oysters from the railroad officials, as
they would not consent to deliver
without the consent Of Scott, who could
not he found.
An Allentown paper says Harris
and Scott have swindled oystermen 10
the tune of $4,000. The paper says:
Harris is comparative stranger in
this city and the Lehigh Valley officials
became acquitted with him about five
weeks ago, when he began to receive
large shipments of oysters at the Allen
town freight depot. Harris had printed
letter heads which represented him as
doing business at No. l66 Hamilton
street in this city. He has up to this
time received fully 800 barrels of
oysters from different points and sold
them direct from the depot to the diff
ferent dealers OF this city at IA price less
than they could he obtained at the beds
ut the seaside.

Roman Catholic Not the
Catholic.

To The Editors Of the Messenyer:-
The healing 10 the extract from the
historical discourse concerning "All
Hallows Church" which You published
by request in your issue Of last week
lays itself open To certain criticisms.
Ii asserts the author of the extract as
claiming that Professionalism Us opposed
To Catholicism was the source of our
modern religious liberty. This would
he unfortunate ii true, as the writer Of
the article thoroughly believes in
Catholicism. and would resist with all
his might the attempt to prove that he
believes in any thing else. CAtholi-
cism, embraces the system Of doctrine
which was believed by the undivided
Church as hole-ai.cays, erery,rhere
and BY all, according 10 the rule OF
Nincentius of Lerins ii we take
Webster's definition, as quality OF
character, il is To he Catholic or uni.
versal and in its religious sense, the
orthodox faith Of the whole Christian
Church. Even our strict friends the
Presbyterians, claim right to this title
for their principal review published il,
Princeton, N. j.. calls itself the Pres
byterian Catholic Rerie,c or at least
has Catholic on its title page. sup
pose the idea in mind when writing the
heading was that Professionalism Iersu,
Romanism was the caurse of religion,
liberty. The distinctive title of that
church rs will be found in her author
lied standards is the Holy Roman .
To call her Catholic to the exclusion
Of all other religious bodies is TO grant
her all that she claims; that she is the
only true church-and within hel
communion We must seek salvation
This is the claim put forth by the
Bishop or Pope Of Rome who sends hel
here to convert the Protestant heretics,
and has gained tor her the title of tn,
Station Mission" II is all important
that the friends of religious liberty
should both understand each other
and stand together, not tor the purpose
of depressing any, but To maintain an,
uphold the principles first fought fol
and secured at Runymede and agar
in our own Revolution Of 1876.
