A Body Oil

When you get home from spin on
your wheel, take q nice, warm bath, and
then rub yourself with Omega Oil. Rub
your arms legs, back and feet. Then
the machinery of your body will run as
smoothly as you please. You won't be
tired and sore and stiff the next morning.
The oil will find its way into your mus
cles and joints, and serve the same pur-
pose in your body as the lubricating oil
you put into the bearings of your wheel.
Keep yourself in running order with
Omega Oil, and you'll always be in con
dition to ride far and fast.
Omega Oil is q muscle maker, a mus
Gle invigorator and a muscle freshener.
1t puts new power into your arms, legs
and back. You don't have to do any
thing but rub it il from the outside.
This green-colored oil strengthens the
muscular tissues, removes and prevents
stiffness, makes the joints and tendons
supple, and stimulates the sinews. 1t is
the best thing in this world for athletes
in every branch of sport.
Druggist D. A. Eaton, 81 Brattle St.,
Cambridge, Mass, says: Il overheard
one lady saying to another that Omega
Oil is good thing to use after riding a
wheel. 1t takes the stiffness and sore
ness from the limbs." 723

Baptisms Members.

Mr.. Snow presented the following to-
tails for all the associations of the State:
Baptisms 536, gain of 100 over the pre-
vious year. Total mbership in the
State 1887, a loss of ia in the year.
The report called attention to the fact
that the church records were not kept
with exactness, and expressed the opinion
that the losses were occasioned princi-
pally by a revision of church lists.
In benevolencss there has been gain
during the year of SllS2.
The Sunday schools show an enroll
ment of 10, ,222, loss OF 400 In the year.
About $40 is the average OF Baptisms
for the last tan years, and 57s for the last
twenty years.
Mr. Snow recommended that there be
greater care in selecting candidates for
the churches, so that the numbers erased
from the rolls might be less.
Following the report on the state OF re-
ligion, welcome was extended to the new
pastors who have come into the work In
this State during the year. These wei.
comes were made with pleasing cordiali-
ty by Rev. DIR. A. Il. Dunn, OF Water
VILE. The new pastors were grouped on
the platform, and after they had been
greeted individually, DR.. Dunn asked a
blessing for them and their churches.
The fraternal greeting from other
churches being in order, Rev. Mr..
Brooks spoke for the Methodists Of Var.
mouth. In the course of his remarks he
said he believed that the Christians of
Maine meant that there should no longer
be violation OF law in the State of Maine,
and that there should no longer be an
open saloon.
A message of greeting was received
from the Congregationalists in session at
Augusta.
The COMMITTEE ON REFORM,
appointed a year ago at Cherryfeld and
consisting of Horace Purinton, Revs. I. .
g. French, @. K. Flanders and G. E.
Owen, reported through Mr.. Purinton:
Mr.. Purinton recalled how the last
convention had commended the work OF
Rev. w. r. Berry, secretary OF the Chris
tian Civic League, against prevalent
sins against good government" During
the years the success of the work had
been more than it's promoters dared hope,
and all workers for prohibition had rea-
son to take courage. The friends Of tenn
perance had elected their sheriff in Cum
berland county, and nearly every town
and city in the State plainly indicated
their dissatisfaction with officials who
had disregarded their oaths in the en-
foroement OF laws.
"rhis attitude, continued the report,
''of the temperance men has been so
plain that it has caused the announce
ment from one of the foremost and most
influential men of the party in power
that in order for the party to retain con-
troll OF political affairs in the State, they
must see to 1t that the prohibitory law is
fully and impartially enforced ins all
parts of the State, Public sentiment is
most effective when manifested at the
polls by the ballot.

against gambling, child labor, and the
observance of the Sabbath are violated,
as we'll as the liquor laws. In view of
these facts your committee recommend
that we continue our loyal support Of the
Christian Civic League
The running or trains and steamboats,
on the Sabbath as well as other forms OF
business were noted as "in direct disobe-
dience of the command of God, and will
surely bring punishment upon us as a
people,
In conclusion Mr.. Purinton, speaking g
personally, said that the liquor traffic
caused 65 per cent. of all the crimes.
They were going to demand a resubmis-
sion of the constitutional amendmen t..
They would ask us to legalize the hor-
rible traffic, and tell us that out of it we
could get revenue enough to support our
schools. But should any man be al
lowed, for a license OF So, 900 or 5000, to
carry on Du siness that makes widows
and orphansS The vote against a license
system should be an emphatic ''no."
