Its Conference Resolution Practically
Commit it to the Prohibition Party.
\ correspondent of the Voice, writing
from Baltimore under date of April
10Th, says:
The Methodist Protestant Church con-
ference which includes Maryland, Della
ware, and part Of the Nirginias, has
been in session in this city for several
days, and has taken advanced position
on the liquor traffic. The struggle OF the
conference took place over the report of
the temperance committee on Saturday
last, which among other resolutions had
the following:
eve believe every Christian citizen
should not only pray for the overthrow
of the liquor traffic, but give his suffrage
to the party that has the moral cour-
age to declare against its legal perpetu-
alton.
This Immediately precipitated ohjec-
lions from several of the very Old minis
tiers, based on the ground that it COM
mitted them to the Prohibition Party,
and therefore interfcrred with their per-
sonal liberty of political action.

conference and on a final vote it was

Another resolution which was IL part
of the Commuters report was to the ef-
feet that any member OF the Methodist
Protestant Church who either rented
property for saloon purposes or signed
application for saloon licenses, should
be speedily tried before the church, and,
if convicted, should be Immediately ex-
PEELED.
John G. Woodley addressed the con-
ference the night OF its opening, and
made a splendid impression.

GETIN THE SUNSHINE.

Man ought to feel happy now. Ma
ture is awakening new life. The glad
carol of the bids, the joyous beams OF
the sun, and an echo in the hearts Of
men, and a reflection in Their faces.
Once more the progressive movement,
assisted by nature, stretches forth her
haad. The earth is growing green.
The gardens are yellow and purple and
white with the crocuses and hyacln,hs
and snowdrops. The woods are sweet
with arbutus, the meadows are starred
with cowslIps, the rocks are white with
tloGdroot and saxlfrage, the corpses
are purple with anemones and liver
worts, and the spring beauties hide in
the swamps. The aspen willow buds
are dusty with golden meal. The
naples are all a brst!ing with their
crimson bloom. The magnolia and
the forsytha and the Judas tree, with
their wide awake flowers bedecking
The brown stems, shame the sluggard
foliage. The earth is growing fal-,
the robins and bluebiIds have come
home again, and the swallows and
orioles are on their way. 1t is sweet
to live and see the blessings by
which we are surrounded. Life,
and energy, and activity Should be
,hrobbing in every breast with greater
force.
Durham should be in the front ranks
Of the procession of new life and beau
ty. Her people should be uniting and
pushing her forward with greater zeal,
and III harmony with nature. Re-
vive your hopes. Brush away grumb-
ling and whining. Come out into the
sunshine and grow. Remove the
dampness and mllldew of prejudice
and fruitless chickering's and enjoy
more largely the fruits of prosperity
and the blessing Of Heaven.-Durham
San.
Substitute Henderson for Durham in
the last paragraph, and the words Of
our contemporary apply with equal
force.

THE ADVANTAGE OF THE CARO-
The Southern States Magazine has
an article in which Mr. Charles W.
Dabney, 1lr., gives data to tempt the
agrlCulturists 10 settle down IN the
Carolinas.
The deductions from the article are
that the South, owing to the existence
Of all the important lie zones in broad
belts running down the coast and up
the west side Of the Aleghani1s, IS a
country capable Of producing the
gre, lest variety of Agricultural and
horticultural products, all those, in
fact, belonging to the temperate zone,
reaching from apples to oranges, from
barly TO rice. The Southern farmer
has from sixty TO ninety days more
IN each year in which TO work, and
during which the sun is working for
hun, than his Northern countrymen.
While this is true, the climate is of
great equillbr.ty, not subject to the
extremes Of either heat or cold. Meth
er hot waves nor Billiards occur so
frequently in the Southeastern States
as they DO in other sections Of our
country. The rainfall, moreover, is
as abundant as in the most favored
land on the globe, and is we'll dis,rib-
ute1 throughout the growing season.
