Anti-Race Track Resolutions.

At the regular meeting of Home Coun-
Gil No. 4, o. U. A. NJ, held Saturday
evening, March 27th, the following pre-
amble and resolutions we're unanimously
adopted on the race track.
WHEREAS; Race-track gambling, after
having been driven from some of our
sister States, has found by law 1odg-
1nent within our county without an ex-
preston of majority of the citizens
thereof; and
WHEREAS; Race track gambling can-
not in any way benefit our county, as
some suppose, but has an unvarying ten
dency to demoralize our youth, thereby
bringing ruin and desolation to many
families; and,
| WHEREAS; We, the members of Home
| Council, in council assembled, deem it to
be our duty in order to be consistent with
the principles of our order to give express
sion on the subject. Therefor be it
ReS0l0ed:: That we recommend the re-
peal of all law by our legislature under
which race-track gambling is now legal
lied; and to that end be it further
ReS0l0ed: That we declare ourselves to
be in sympathy with the moral and relig-
ious sentiment of the citizens of the county
to recommend to the nominating coll
ventions of all political to place none on
their legislative tickets but such as will
pledge themselves to do all they CAN if
elected, to remove this curse from our
borders.
ReSol5ed. That copy of these resolu-
tons be sent to the county papers for
publication

Mrs. Samuel Stamm of Loganton, Pa.
bore her thirty-four years of suffering with
courage and fortitude. Her trouble was
rheumatism in the knee In consequence
her limb had become so stiff that she
could hardly walk. Mr. Stamm is we'll
to-do merchant, and had spared no pains
or expense to relieve her, but with little
success, until one night when it grew so
painful that she could hardly endure it,
he persuaded her to try Chamberlain
Pain Balm The effect was magical.
The first application relieved the pain,
and its continued use has removed all
stiffness and given her the free use of her
limb once more. If you have friends who
are troubled with rheumatism insist on
their giving this remedy trial. You
can do them no greater favor, as it is sure
to give promp relief, and if they are a
little patient it will effect cure For

The four presiding elders of the
Wilmington Methodist Episcopal
Conference met in Dover on Thurs
day last and considered protests
against the transferof Rev. Vaughan
S. Collins from New Castle to a
pastorate at Georgetown. Mr..
Collins had served his congregation
at New Castle faithfully and well
and the conference was asked to
return him for another year. Mr..
Collins took delegation from New
Castle to prevail upon the presiding
elders to allow him to remain there,
but they were obdurate. The case
has caused a commotion among
peninsula Methodists. The New
Castle Methodists are not alone in
their objection to the new arrange
ment. The Mt. Salem and Port
Deposit congregations had agreed
to exchange pastors, Rev. S. M.
Morgan to go from Mt. Salem to
Port Deposit and Rev. Harvey w.
Ewing to go to Mt. Salem. Mr..
Ewing goes to Mt. Salem. but Mr..
Morgan goes to New Castle instead
of Port Deposit, and Rev. w. G.
