that history is not as clear on the
temperance question as it ought to
be. This was no, for the want OF
an opportunity, for the conference

ed and brought up TO date, by order
Icf the State Board Of Education.
The revision is to be completed and

The present firms publishing the

unreasonable expense to pupils
or parents. The revision will bring
all the text books now in use in the
Public schools Of the State up to

will probably be ready for delivery

Editor, il you will all keep right

1t is the first time / ever saw the
doctor FULL.
\ II is wonderful to s.e how men
will preach temperance and vote
for free whisky and claim that
they are acting consistently in do
ing so. cannot say that the doc
tor does, but We know of men who
vote annually ON the floor OF the
conference fer temperance, and on
election day vote with the saloon
keeper and whisky bum. II an
angel counted the ballots be could
not tell which one was voted by the
preacher and which one by the 81
loon keeper, for they were just
alike.
They both went 10 the polls to-
gether, stood on The same platform,
and voted the same ticket, repre-
senting the same principle.
Now let US suppose both would
have died at the polls-died at the
same time died voting for the
same principle-both went into
eternity to-getber-both stood in
the judges presence together
would the Judge of all the eartt
give the preacher q harp and ths
other fellow the pit?
Now comes November and chill is tn
weather.
Two ballots will be cast in a box togeth
er,
These votes will be like twin brothers,
So you cannot tell one from the other:
Each for his principles could not b
tuer,
But one will be preacher, the other I

mellow,

fellow;
He is true to his church, but to his par
ytruer,
For he talks for the Lord. but votes 10
the brewer.
The preacher has long been note
For lighting saloons. except when b
voted;
He piles up his prayers with perfection
Then knocks them all down on the da
of election.
The resolution was not radical
IL did not say you shall not do Q
snd SO. 1t only expressed Il as th
sense OF the conference that the
ought to vote as they preach an
pray.
Every man in that conferenc
knew that the principle embrace
in the resolution was right, an
what is right ought to be done, an
we are responsible for its not bein
