TEMPERANCE AND ANTI-TOBACCO RES
OLUTI0NS.
The following resolutions on temper
ance and the tobacco habit we're intro
duced at the recent session of the ONO
Universalist Convention by Rev. Will
lam Frost Crispin, and were recommend
ed for adoption by the Committee on
Resolutions:
WHEREAS, Silence on the part OF the
church, or it's membership, touching the
sin of the drink-traffic and dram drink
ing is equivalent to consent thereto.
and,
WHEREAS, no lover OF his race, and
especially no Christian, should in any
way countenance or encourage these
evils, therefore,
Resolved, That we, the Universalists
of Ohio, in Convention assembled, de-
clare it to be the duty of the church to
take united stand against this growing
evil, and we deeply deplore the existence
of the saloon, and urge all our people
everywhere to labor, not only for indi-
vidual abstinence, but for the lawful
suppression of the drink traffic, and we
do further urge all Christian and patri-
otto voters to persistently refuse to be-
come party to the crime of dram sell
! ing by voting to legalizs the business or
by any way giving sanction thereto.
WHEREAS. Nearly every State in the
Union has enacted laws requiring all
teachers in our public schools to give in
struction regarding the injurious effects
of tobacco and other narcotics upon the
human system, and,
WHEREAS, The use of tobacco to chew,
smoke, dip or snuff, is not only I'M
natural, and uncleanly, but an extrava-
CANT waste Of money, a producer OF dis
ease and bad manners, and a habit
which gives offense to large numbers of
non.users, Therefore,
RESOLVED, That it is the sense of this
Convention that no person should be
employed as officer or teacher in any of
our schools. colleges, universities, or
Sunday schools, who is addicted 10 this
vice.
RESOLVED, That licensing or ordain-
ing councils should withhold fellowship
from any and all applicants who are ad-
dicted TO the habit, or who do not give
satisfactory proof that such habit shall
be abandoned at once and during the
entire ministry.
The resolutions were unanimously ad-
opted, without discussion.
sPRINGBORO.
Work on the new church at Spring
boro is progressing slowly. The hard
times. and business failures, which SER
iously affected some of our people, have
seriously embarrassed the work. But
the pastor, Rev. John Richardson. will
spare no effort to secure completion.
This church has had a noble history.

VACATION LETTER.
FROM EMILY L. SHERWOOD.

There being no good reason why "No.
1919" should adjourn sine die with the Ma
tional Republican nominating conven.
ton, she remained to see something of a
city that has wide fame for beauty
and enterprise, beside the muddiest wat

The Recent Dance of Death.
OF course we wanted to see what was
left to tell the tale of the recent zephyr,
yclept a "cyclone"-w which danced to
death over this region few weeks since,
and the other sights.
The debris of fallen houses and
wrecked furniture still remains, though
every available thing that could be
cleared up has been; but on the South
side, near Lafayette park, the patched
roofs and still broken windows, and here
and there tented camp on open spaces,
show the scars. Indeed, it will take
years to rebuild and renew, if not re-
grow, all the beautiful homes, grounds
ana the trees destroyed.
Some Narrow Escapes.
Even among my friends | hear OF
some narrow escapes and thrilling ad-
ventures, though living far from the
immediate scene of disaster. On the
noon of the day on which the cyclone
struck st. Louis, there was a wedding
solemnizsd in Unity church (Unitarian)
opposite Lafayette park. and some of
my friends were hidden to the festival.
They went. and being church workers
remained for some ladies' meeting occur
ring an hour later in the Sunday-school
room.
Time went on and though the sky
darkened they felt no fear. but when the
church roof went off with bang. and
