Following are the resolutions re
ported by the Committee con Temper
ance and unanimously adopted by the
Tennessee Conference of the Metho-
dist church:
For many years the Methodist
church has made unceasing war on
the liquor traffic; it's members have
long been active and aggressive in the
cause of temperance reform, and we
rejoice that their efforts, aided by
other Christian organizations, have re-
suited in driving the traffic from so
large portion of our country. We
rejoice that the attitude of our church
upon this question has been So Wig
orous and aggressive, and its energies
so well directed that it has invited and
received the criticisms of the people
and the press which defend the liquor
traffic. Such criticism of the church
and of its ministers is praise of the
highest order, and constitute a testi-
monial of the splendid work which the
church, under the providence of the
Almighty God, has done to prevent
and correct the evils of the liquor
traffic. We call upon the members of
the church to sustain and uphold its
ministers who have braved this op,
position They should exercise their
suffrage so that the preaching Of their
ministers shall bear fruit. Christian
men should vote as they pray, and we
10 unhesitatingly condemn the teach
ng of those who hold to the view that
christian ministers ought not to par
icipate in the affairs of government.
This dictrine, in our opinion, comes
rom a source more interested in the
of the liquor traffic than in
he welfare of the ministers of the !.
hurch, and is therefore the verdict
nd most arrant hypocisy. The only
-ay to achieve reforms IN government

TO give the following particulars: Zone

800 tons OF this scrap iron from Ham

shoes seems to be almost without Hm-

shoes and sell them to knife and tool
manufacturers all over the province.
1t Is claimed by the Chinese that the
temper Of this class Of iron makes if
the best obtainable for knives and
cutlery and also good for other tools.
The reason ascribed for this Is that
the constant beating the shoes have re-
ceived under the feet Of horses has
given them a peculiar temper abso-
1utely unobtainable in any other way
and that tools made from them are su-
perior to all others"
